Keep Your Pets Safe This Halloween! 🐾🎃
Halloween is full of fun, costumes, and plenty of treats, but it’s important to keep our four-legged family members safe! Here are a few tips to do, just that.
🍫 Keep Candy Out of Reach: Chocolate and xylitol are toxic to dogs and cats. Keep candy bowls and treats safely away from curious paws.
👻 Choose Costumes Carefully: If your pet dresses up, make sure their costume allows them to move, breathe, and see comfortably.
🚪 Secure Your Pets: With trick-or-treaters coming and going, keep your pets in a quiet, secure room to prevent accidental escapes and reduce stress.
📍 Microchip for Extra Protection: Even the most careful pet parent can have an escape artist. A microchip with current contact information helps increase the chances of being reunited if your pet gets lost. Check your chosen database to be sure all of your pets microchip information is current and up to date. You do not need your vet, us, animal control or anyone else to do this. You can do it all yourself online and often, for free; all you need is their microchip number. ☺️
