While youre worried about your kids running around on Halloween, its easy to forget about your PETS. So here are four safety tips from the ASPCA. 1. Dont let them get into the candy, because chocolate is toxic for dogs. Dark chocolate is more dangerous though. 2. Dont put real candles in your jack-o-lanterns. Theyre easy to knock over, which can start a fire. So if you have dogs or cats, use fake candles with batteries. 3. Dont MAKE them wear a costume. Some dogs dont seem to mind it. But if yours HATES it, dont force it on them. And almost ALL cats hate it. Also, make sure its loose enough so they can breathe. And it shouldnt have any dangling parts they could chew off and choke on. 4. Put them in a bedroom and close the door. Especially during peak trick-or-treating hours, so they dont run outside. And make sure theyre wearing their collar, just in case they DO get out. Worst-case scenario, they could BITE someone . . . even if your dog is fine with people, having a hundred strangers come to the door in a single night can be stressful.
