Lady Bee’s Halloween Safe Tips For You And Your Pets
- An all-dog Halloween party, or wherever dogs assemble in your area, would probably be the most fun for your pet and for you.
-
If your pet accompanies you Trick-or-Treating or stays home and
greets Trick-or-Treaters at the door, keep him leashed.
-
If your pet is aggressive or shows aggression at any time, take
him away from others at this time. If he shows fear or barks a lot when
he sees costumed youngsters or adults, take him home or away from the
door.
- Don’t allow your pet to be approached
until others, especially children, know how to approach her. If that
seems okay, have a bag of healthy dog treats handy, in case the kids
want to give her a treat. Don’t let your pet accept other food from
anyone.
Have a happy and safe Halloween with your pets!
