The scary night is almost here!!!!! Make it a fun and safe evening by keeping these safety tips in mind: 
1. Make sure you have your pet either safely tucked away in a kennel or spare room with music or TV playing in the background, so they are not too disturbed by trick or treaters. A dog on the loose, barking and getting agitated is no fun for the dog, the trick or treaters or for you. Sometimes your dog or cat can escape when you open the door to give candy, so secure them safely and enjoy the night.
2. Keep an eye on candy and party food around your pet. Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and so can the sweetener xylitol. Rasins and grapes also pose serious health hazards and are common to find in treats kids bring home. Candy and food wrappers smell good and can present a choking hazard. And anything I didn’t mention when consumed by a pet can make them sick. Keep pets away from this stuff.
3. If you are having a party, keep an eye on alcoholic beverages. We’ve all seen or heard stories of different animals who like to drink. How sad that their owners allow it, not to mention that sometimes this can lead to a pet’s death.
4. Decorations, candles, cords, dangerous hazards. Halloween, like Christmas, has lots of opportunities for problems to pets and humans. Keep your house and yard kid and pet safe when you decorate.
5. Keep your emergency numbers at hand for your pets in case you do have a problem that night.
Have a happy and safe Halloween from all of us at VetLocator.com Daily Paws!!
