Pet costumes can range from uncomfortable to dangerous, many candies can be hazardous to animals, and decorations might attract our pets and expose them to dangerous substances. In order to safely enjoy this wonderful day with your pets, a little additional caution is required.
Read on for our pet safety tips and enjoy this Halloween with your pets without any fuss!
1 – Restrict Access to Treats
During the holiday season, it seems like there are always enticing candy bowls around. These dog treats bowls may just be appealing to you, but they might be harmful to your pets.
The source of the most worry may be xylitol-containing sugar-free candy. For dogs and cats, even a small amount of xylitol can be lethal. Ensure that you keep your animals away from any xylitol-containing items. Contact your veterinarian right away if you suspect they may have consumed any candies that contain xylitol.
2 – Pet Costumes Can Be Dangerous
Yes, your dog looks cute in a red and black ladybug costume, but when you place those pointy ears on your cat’s head, it looks genuinely disgusting. Despite how adorable they are, not every pet should wear a costume.
Costumes must fit comfortably without impairing the range of motion, interfering with breathing, or irritating anywhere that might result in raw spots or sores. Pets may just respond by demanding the costume off because they are unable to communicate what is upsetting them about it. They might swallow or chew off some of the costumes as they go along, which could result in emergency situations such as intestinal blockages.
If you want to dress up your pet, make sure the costume fits properly and watch over the animal the entire time it is dressed up. Remove the costume as soon as possible to avoid making your pet uncomfortable or causing costume shards to end up in its stomach. Leave it on for as little time as possible while capturing some adorable pictures to share with friends and family.
3 – Make Sure Decorations Are Placed Safely
One of the best parts of Halloween is the decorations. However, they occasionally cause issues if curious pets investigate them.
An open flame is among the most frequently ignored concerns. It’s possible for your pet to start a fire, burn its feet, or singe its fur if it leaps up close to a pumpkin with a candle inside. Make sure all open flames are kept high and away from your pet’s curious paws.
