Halloween is only a few days away. Are your pets ready?
If your critters are upset by the doorbell ringing, strange
noises, or scary people in creepy outfits appearing at the door, now’s the time
to come up with a plan.
- Make
sure your pet is in a secure area where it won’t bolt out the door. It may
be better to keep them in a quiet room with some nice music playing.
- Keep
your cats inside for the night. Kids can play nasty pranks on kitties on
this holiday, especially black cats.
- Start
putting Rescue Remedy into the water dish today to keep those anxiety
levels low.
- Tell
them that there is going to be some strange noises and lots of knocks on
the door and that they are safe and should just stay calm and relaxed.
Send strong mental pictures of them snoozing through the commotion.
- Candy
is very tempting to many pets. Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and cats and
those wrappers are impossible to digest. Keep that candy dish out of reach.
- Put
all burning candles out of reach. Curious pets can knock them over, start
a fire, and seriously burn themselves.
- Beware
of decorations that can be ingested. It’s no fun to have surgery for an
intestinal blockage.
