Halloween & Pets Safety Suggestions

Posted on October 29, 2009 at 5:28 PM

 

    Tips for People/Animal Encounters
    1. Horses and other animals are clueless about Halloween costumes.  They don’t see a costume kid, they see a goblin.  So keep your distance from strange animals.  Scared pets may bite,kick or scratch.  
    2. Think before you trick.  Leaving the gate open or the like could result in an injured animal.  This holiday is supposed to be fun, not a tragedy.  Keep the death symbols on the decorations.  Don’t risk a real one.
    3. Be careful what you do with the treats.  Chocolate makes dogs sick.  Scarfing down wrappers isn’t good for them either.
    4.  Keep lit candles and pumpkins with them out of reach of pets.  Don’t risk a fire.
    
    Tips for animal care takers
    5. If you have a pet, know how it reacts.  Keep it safely tucked away if it’s scared of strangers or weird stuff.
    6.  If your easy going pet is going trick or treating or partying with you watch what it eats.  If sick people will poison kid treats, they’ll do it to a pet too.
    7  If your pet gets a costume, be careful it won’t hang up on anything and isn’t flammable.  Make sure any  make up, glitter, or tint that you might use on the fur is non toxic and washes out easy.
    8.  Make sure they’re labeled!  Any pet who gets loose on halloween is in for a wild night  Make sure that if an accident happens or a trick goes wrong they can find their way home!
