Halloween
is one of the most celebrated days in the USA. This trick or treating festival
is just around the corner, waiting for kids and adults to live their childhood
with costume parties, going nuts over spooky places, lots of candies and
decorative instincts. With carved pumpkin lanterns and bonfires all around,
Halloween also becomes a day of being cautious.
In
this gleeful atmosphere of Halloween, the entire family joins the celebration,
including pets. As canines and felines are not considered any less than a
family, all pet owners make it a point to include them in festivities like
costume parties, etc. However, apart from the obvious dangers of bonfires and
lit lanterns, there are many things to keep in mind for your pet’s safe
inclusion in the party.
Let’s
have a look at some tips to safeguard your pet’s Halloween!
Candies- Sweet Poison for pets!
Halloween
day is all about trick and treating where children go door-to-door for treats.
Every household may have loads of candies on this day. Apparently, candies and
chocolates are not a good idea for pets. Chocolate is one of those things whose
consumption may put your pet in a critical condition. Thus, it is advised to
buy some pet safe treats for your fur babies if you really want them to join
you in eating something sweet. Don’t forget to keep all the regular sweets out of
your pet’s reach!
Noise- For you it is Halloween, but for
your pet it is just a day!
We
all are well aware of the noise that Halloween brings and also about how pets
feel about that noise. The constant ringing of the doorbell for, Halloween
party at your home, etc. might scare your pet or make him anxious. If you are
planning to have a Halloween bash at your place, it may be better if you keep
your furry friend in another room. Mutt muffs could be a great option if your
pet is going to stay indoors.
Halloween costume for pets- Make sure it is
safe and not only fun!
Getting
a Halloween costume for your pet may be a little risky. Thus it is necessary to
choose a perfect one for your furry pal. The safest costume is one that easily
fits your pet, is not too loose or not too tight. The costume should have
straps which makes it easy to remove in emergencies. Let your four legged
friend practice it before 2-3 days. Start with a few minutes and observe his
discomfort, if any.
Decorations- Don’t let your light blow off
your pet!
Halloween
is supposed to have a spooky touch. Thus the decorations have that touch and
usually include lit candles and pumpkins. It is essential to be careful with
Halloween decorations when you have a canine or feline at home. Make sure no
lit candle or pumpkin is in reach of your furry pals. You may not even realize
when this festive occasion might turn into a mishap if not looked after.
Runaway Pets- Halloween is definitely not
the time of freedom!
All
pet owners feel that they should give some off-leash time to their four legged
friends. However Halloween is definitely not that time. Around the buzz of
Halloween’s festivities, if you let your pooch or kitty roam around, they may
get lost or stolen. Keep your feline indoors and your canine always on leash
during these days to avoid any unwanted situation. Moreover, if you have not
micro chipped your pet yet, then this may be the best time to do it. Update the
collar tags of your pets with complete information.
In all, along with all the fun and spooky
aura, Halloween also brings several responsibilities for pet owners. Follow
these tips to block any unwanted situation with your beloved pets. Happy
Halloween to all pets and their parents!
