Halloween Tips For Pet Owners
Halloween tips from our good friends at the Humane Society of Naples...
The Humane Society Naples asks pet owners to pay extra attention to their pets’ comfort and safety on Halloween. For many pets Halloween night is truly a frightening experience. For these pets there are several ways to minimize the anxiety and danger pets face during this premier fall holiday.
First, it’s best to keep them inside that afternoon and evening, preferably in a softly-lit room in the quietest part of the home. Placing a radio in this room and setting it at low volume to a gentle, easy-listening station will mask some of the disquieting, unfamiliar sounds the pet would otherwise hear. Keeping the pet in a separate quiet room will have the added benefit of keep it from dashing out an open door, or worse, attacking a young trick-or-treater.
The lanai is not a good place for them either. It is unprotected and sometimes even magnifies the ambient sounds. Make sure to keep candy and decorations away from your pet—lit candles, too!
Pet owners who put costumes on their pets for a night out or just around the house should try to make sure the fit is comfortable and non restrictive for the pet.
Be safe and have a great Halloween.
