It\u2019s October and that means Halloween and trick-or-treat.\u00a0 This time of year is a lot of fun with the kids and having the pups outside in the cooler weather. \u00a0But, with so much activity outside on this special night, there are safety tips we must all keep in mind with our pups<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Halloween candies are not for dogs.<\/strong>\u00a0 And make sure your pup doesn\u2019t pick up loose candy on the floor or street from the kids.\u00a0 It can easily happen, especially at night.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Don’t leave pets out in the yard on Halloween \u2013 especially the front yard.<\/strong> Even if your dog is friendly, you don\u2019t know what could happen.\u00a0 And, a loose dog in the front yard will scare away many families.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Pet should be kept away from the door.<\/strong> When you are answering the door so many times Halloween evening, you don\u2019t know how your pup will react to the folks on the other side.\u00a0 It only takes one time\u2026keep your dog away from the door during the evening \u2013 maybe behind a barrier or in a different room.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Keep light and extension cords out of reach<\/strong>. Halloween brings a lot of decorations inside and outside.\u00a0 Leaving an extension cord in the yard with a dog that likes to chew would end badly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Keep a close eye on your pet when kids approach<\/strong>. This tip might be most important of all.\u00a0 During the evening, whether you are walking around or sitting out in the front yard, kids will want to approach your dog and pet it.\u00a0 Question is \u2013 how will your dog react?\u00a0 If your dog is not tolerable of all people (or other dogs walking around with their parents), you might be best served leaving your dog inside away from the crowds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Following these tips will help make it a safer and fun night for everyone and your pet. \u00a0Happy Halloween!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
