Celebrate at home.
Going house-to-house in the dark
increases the chances that Fido will get spooked or get a hold of some
potentially dangerous decorations or candy.
Better to plan games and a movie night with a few friends
and family who can appreciate Fido’s Halloween costume and respect his needs.
Pick A Safe
Costume. It should not constrict the
animal’s movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or
meow. Also make sure the costume does
not have any small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke
on. Last, be sure to try on costumes
before the big night. If your pet seems
distressed in their costume, consider a festive bandana instead.
Schedule a Special
Outing to show her off. If your pet
enjoys dressing up in a costume, enter her in a local contest or parade. South
Des Moines Veterinary
Center
Post emergency
numbers on your fridge. Post your
veterinary clinic’s number, emergency/after-hours veterinarian, as well as the ASPCA’s
Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) for emergencies.
ID’s Please! Always make sure your dog or cat has
proper identification. Microchips and
collars with tags will increase the chances of your pet being reunited with you
if he or she goes missing.
