PET
TIPS
OCTOBER
2002
Halloween may be fun for your and your
kids, but to your pets, it can be downright scary. Here are a few things to
keep in mind this October 31st to keep your little four-legged friend's stress
level under control:
1.
Keep your pet inside. If possible, place him or her in a quiet room so as to
avoid being frightened by excessive or loud noises, constantly ringing
doorbells and excited kids. Your pet may run out of the house if upset or
frightened and become lost or hurt.
| If you suspect your pet has gotten into Halloween treats
or the decorations and is acting out of sorts, consult your vet
immediately. |
|
2.
Keep sweets and treats away from your pet. Some candy, particularly chocolate,
can be toxic and make your pet sick. Be sure to tell your kids it's not a good
idea to share their Halloween stash with your pet–and be careful too that
your pet doesn't get into those tempting empty wrappers!
3. Halloween decorations such as spider
webs, plastic insects, balloons, streamers and the like may prove to be too
enticing to ignore, so place all decorations out of the reach of curious
paws.
4. Costumes for
pets are cute but be cautious with any article with rubber bands. Left on for
long periods or forgetten about by mistake, the bands could cut off your pet's
circulation or bind into the skin.
5. Please don't take your pet with you on your visits around the
neighborhood. Too much excitement will be unsettling for your pet, and an
encounter with other unfamiliar animals could result in a fight or
injury.
Follow these few
easy tips and ensure your little friend will stay safe on this spooky
night!
