RDOG | Halloween Tips

Halloween is a fun time for humans, but not necessarily for pets. Please follow these tips, and share them with others, to help keep all pets safe this Halloween.

Protect your pet on Halloween by keeping it indoors. A pet that's out at night with trick-or-treaters might get spooked by their excited voices and costumes, which could cause it to run off and get lost.
If you have a black cat, you should be especially careful about keeping it indoors on Halloween. Some people are superstitious about black cats and may try to scare or harm them.
Keep your pet confined and away from the door while you're greeting trick-or-treaters at your home to prevent it from darting outdoors.
If you have a dog, it may feel that its territory is being invaded by the constant onslaught of visitors. Keeping your dog in a secluded area of the house will help it stay calm and prevent it from growling or possibly biting your visiting ghouls and goblins.
Keep Halloween candy out of your pet's reach because it can make your pet sick. In fact, chocolate can be fatal to dogs!
Celebrate Halloween with your pet by giving it goodies that are made especially for its species, like dog biscuits or cat treats.
If you're considering giving someone a black cat to celebrate Halloween, please either give them a stuffed animal or a homemade gift certificate to the Sacramento SPCA instead. This will allow them to select just the right cat (or other pet) for them.
