Keep all Halloween treats and goodies well out of reach of pets. Chocolate is poisonous to dogs and cats.  For more information, please visit:

Call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Hotline at 1-888-426-4435 in case of emergency.  Halloween decorations are also kind of tempting to some dogs and should be hung appropriately.

Keep cats and dogs inside as Halloween nears. Unfortunately, cats are especially at risk for falling into the hands of mischief-seekers, especially at night.   Provide some extra entertainment for your cat that usually enjoys the outdoors, like catnip toys and special playtime with you.

It’s a good idea to give pets a break from trick or treaters by keeping them in a bedroom or kitchen during Halloween festivities.  Even the friendliest of dogs can become overwhelmed by small howling witches and ghosts.
