The scary night is almost here!!!!!\u00a0 Make it a fun and safe evening by keeping these safety tips in mind: \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 A dog on the loose, barking and getting agitated is no fun for the dog, the trick or treaters or for you.\u00a0 Sometimes your dog or cat can escape when you open the door to give candy, so secure them safely and enjoy the night.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Keep pets away from this stuff.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 If you are having a party, keep an eye on alcoholic beverages.\u00a0 We’ve all seen or heard stories of different animals who like to drink.\u00a0 How sad that their owners allow it, not to mention that sometimes this can lead to a pet’s death.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Decorations, candles, cords, dangerous hazards.\u00a0 Halloween, like Christmas, has lots of opportunities for problems to pets and humans.\u00a0 Keep your house and yard kid and pet safe when you decorate.<\/p>\n

5. Keep your emergency numbers at hand for your pets in case you do have a problem that night.<\/p>\n

Have a happy and safe Halloween from all of us at VetLocator.com Daily Paws!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
