Boo! Halloween is just around the corner. Make sure to include your pets in your Halloween plans. Strangers in costumes, the repeated ringing of the doorbell and abundant sweets may pose special challenges for pet owners.
We are here to help you and your pet prepare for this spooktacular holiday with the following tips:
- Walk
your dog before the trick-or-treaters start their visits.
- If
your pet wears a costume, remove dangling pieces that may be a hazard to
them. Do not force your pet to wear a costume if they look or act
uncomfortable.
- Bring
cats indoors before Halloween night.
- Leave
your dog at home during trick-or-treating.
- Keep
your pet safe in the back room during peak trick-or-treating hours or
during parties.
- Store
candy out of your pet's reach.
- Keep
candlelit jack-o-lanterns out of reach of your curious pet.
- Make
sure your pet is microchipped and has visible, up-to-date ID tags on his
or her collar.
- If
your pet does get lost, please visit Pasadena Humane Society or your local
animal shelter daily to look for him or her. Visit pasadenahumane.org
to see pictures of the animals in our care.
Have a happy and safe Halloween!
