Halloween Safety tips
Tip 1: No Sweets for your doggos to eat!
There is nothing more difficult than saying NO to those sweet puppy dog eyes, but when it comes to candy, the answer is NO. Most dog moms know that Chocolate is off limits for dogs, but did you know that the sweetener Xylitol is harmful to your pooch?
According to Nationwide Pet Insurance, a vet trip due to an overdose of chocolate costs an average of $596 and sugar free candy around $496. The lucky pet parents end up with just a vet bill and not a tragedy! The best Halloween safety tip, KEEP SWEETS AWAY FROM FIDO!

Tip 2: Provide a “haunted” free zone!
Halloween may be filled with TREATS for your kids, but it is filled with TRICKS for your four paw pets. Door Bells, knocking, strange smells, costumes are just a few things that might give your dog a fright! Did you know that Halloween is the SECOND most common holiday that pets run away?
Keeping your pet in a safe place away from exits and noises is your best Halloween Safety plan. Keep your door open to limit the knocks and bells!
If your dog is prone to anxiety, it might be a good time to provide them something to help them relax. It’s a good idea to invest in a natural supplement to help with anxiety! Chillax with CBD or with Hemp is a great product to curb anxiety naturally. I have a long list of clients that share how much Chillax has changed their lives! Halloween is a great time to put it to the test! Another option, turn on some music to help mute the strange noises.
Tip 3: Don’t let your Dog Halloween Costume give them the boos
All dog moms LOVE a great costume, but not all dogs love them. Be mindful of your dog and their tolerance for dressing up. Don’t let your vanity have a negative impact on your furry, it isn’t worth it.
If your pooch doesn’t mind, keep these Halloween safety costume tips in mind.
**Make sure the costume fits: Not too tight or too lose (especially around the neck)
**Check for choking hazards: Make sure their are no choking hazards are small pieces they can swallow
**Make sure it doesn’t obscure vision
