4 Important Halloween Safety Tips for Your Pets
The ASPCA has a number of recommendations to take to help keep your pets safe during the Halloween season. Here are four tips to consider.
Hide the Treats: If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic (like chocolate), please call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 immediately.
Watch the Decorations: If you’re making jack-o’-lanterns and plan on using real candles to light them, a fire could quickly start if your pet accidentally knocks it over.
Make Sure Wires are Out of Reach: This is a good tip all-year-round, but it never hurts to mention it.
Be Careful With Their Costumes: If your pets do not like wearing costumes, the ASPCA recommends not dressing them up.
