Fall Pet Safety Tips

HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween

If you have trick or treaters or are entertaining, KEEP PETS IN A SEPARATE ROOM with all their goodies to reduce anxiety and chance of them getting out and lost.

KEEP YOUR CATS INSIDE. This is probably the most important thing you can do. Be extra cautious with black cats. 🙁 Unfortunately, some people seek out cats (especially black cats, due to false superstitions and satanic rituals) for evil and malicious deeds around this time of year (or even just mean pranks), so please keep your kitties inside, a week before and a week after Halloween. Also, if you are trying to find homes for cats or kittens, best to wait at least a week after Halloween to do so. Even rescues with the best screening skills often refrain from adopting out black cats during October.

NO FAKE SPIDERWEBS in your yard for Halloween. These decorations kill birds and other wildlife. They are strong enough to snare an owl and take a terrible toll every October on small birds, including hummingbirds. It’s also deadly to monarch butterflies and even bees.

ENJOY THE FALL SEASON SAFELY

  • Be careful with holiday treats. Aside from known hazards such as chocolate, cooked bones, raw bread dough and many fruits and vegetables can also be life threatening to pets.
  • Be careful with decorations. Many shiny new decorations look like really fun toys to your pets. Make sure decorations are out of reach because many of them contain toxic metals and can become choking hazards.
  • Make holiday arrangements with your dog walker, pet sitter or doggy day care NOW. As the holidays approach, most of us will get busier and possibly have to travel. Take time out and plan ahead so you can make the holidays easier on your pets.
  • Fall celebrations such as Thanksgiving and Halloween, often mean people coming over to visit your home. If you have a pet that has special needs or is wary of new people, be sure to tell your guests about your pet before they come over.
  • Make sure your pets can't escape through the main entrance of your home. This is especially important if you plan on having several guests in and out of the house this holiday season. It may be worth investing in a baby gate or creating some kind of barrier between the door and your pet -- especially if you have pet that's known for bolting. Keeping them in a separate room with all their comforts and needs might be the best option to be safe.
  • Don't leave your pets outside for prolonged periods of time. It doesn't have to be Winter for it to get cold--especially for puppies, senior pets and smaller animals.
  • Beware of anti-freeze! Ingesting antifreeze is lethal. Unfortunately both cats and dogs have been known to lick this sweet tasting substance. Make sure to check your car for leaks and make sure all bottles are stored far away from your pets.
  • Beware of ticks. It's still tick season and playing in the cool autumn leaves is one of the many ways your pooch could get them. Consider using a natural tick repellent to help protect your pet.
  • Let em' have their fur coat. If you have a dog that you shave during the summer, let him start growing his coat back in the fall. Just like you need your Fall/Winter coat he'll need his too.
  • The changing of seasons is great time to check your pet ID tags and microchip. Just take 5 minutes to make sure all your pet's information is up to date and in proper order.
