Strange costumes, trick-or-treaters, constant doorbells, flashing lights, and tempting treats can all cause anxiety or even danger for our four-legged friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make sure everyone enjoys a safe and stress-free holiday, here are <strong>five expert tips to keep your pets calm and protected during Halloween<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-calm-their-nerves-naturally\">1. Calm Their Nerves Naturally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/08.jpg\" alt=\"dog on a lap getting a treat\" class=\"wp-image-14561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/08.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/08-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/08-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/08-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The days leading up to Halloween can be filled with unusual sights and sounds. A natural calming supplement for dogs or cats can help ease anxiety. Look for formulas that include <a href=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/valerian-root-for-dogs.html\">valerian root<\/a> and passionflower, herbs that support relaxation and mimic the body\u2019s natural calming neurotransmitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These supplements can also help pets year-round, whether it\u2019s thunderstorms, <a href=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/calm-dogs-during-fireworks.html\">fireworks<\/a>, or stressful trips to the vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-keep-the-candy-and-chocolate-away-from-pets\">2. Keep the Candy and Chocolate Away From Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halloween candy may be irresistible to humans, but it\u2019s dangerous for dogs and cats. Chocolate (especially dark or baking chocolate) can be toxic, and even small amounts of <a href=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/what-is-birch-sugar-xylitol-disguised-by-marketing.html\">xylitol<\/a>, a common artificial sweetener in sugar-free candy and some peanut butter, can cause serious harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you suspect your pet has ingested some toxic Halloween treats, please call your veterinarian or the\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/animal-poison-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ASPCA Poison Control Center<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0at (888) 426-4435 immediately.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-don-t-force-your-pet-into-a-costume\">3. Don\u2019t Force Your Pet Into a Costume<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halloween costumes can be adorable on social media, but not every doggy enjoys wearing one. If your dog or cat shows <a href=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/critical-signs-of-stress-in-a-dog.html\">signs of discomfort<\/a> like freezing, hiding, or trying to remove the costume, skip the dress-up this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your pet <em>does<\/em> enjoy dressing up, let them try on the pet costume beforehand to ensure it fits comfortably and doesn\u2019t restrict movement or vision. Always supervise your pet while in costume, and avoid any pieces that could pose a choking hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-make-sure-everyone-has-an-id\">4. Make sure everyone has an ID<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halloween night means open doors and distractions, which are a perfect storm for an escaped pet. Ensure your pet\u2019s ID tags and microchip information are up to date. A microchip can be a true lifesaver <a href=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/how-to-find-a-lost-dog.html\">if your pet becomes lost<\/a>, allowing shelters or vets to identify and contact you quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if your pet isn\u2019t going out the front door, the frequent doorbell ringing can cause them to bolt. Pet parents should keep them safely indoors or secured in a quiet room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-keep-pets-away-from-halloween-decorations\">5. Keep Pets Away from Halloween Decorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scary decorations are even scarier to our pets, so keep them at a safe distance! Dogs can easily knock over the carved jack-o-lantern and start a fire. Puppies and kittens are especially at risk of getting burned by a candle flame, due to curiosity or getting electrocuted from chewing on the cords of lights and motorized decorations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just going on a walk on the days before Halloween can be scary! Pets can recognize faces, and many scary DIY lawn or window Halloween-themed decorations with faces or masks are placed at \u2018dog height\u2019 and may spook them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-safe-and-happy-halloween-for-pets\">A Safe and Happy Halloween for Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/pepper-feature.jpg\" alt=\"stuffed bell pepper dog treat\" class=\"wp-image-14733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/pepper-feature.jpg 900w, https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/pepper-feature-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/pepper-feature-768x451.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halloween can be fun for the whole family \u2014 including your pets \u2014 with a little preparation and tasty dog treats. Keep candy out of reach, skip costumes if your pet dislikes them, and use a calming supplement if your dog or cat gets anxious with all the trick-or-treating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these simple dog-friendly Halloween safety tips, you and your furry friend can <a href=\"https:\/\/justfoodfordogs.com\/blog\/stuffed-jack-o-lantern-dog-treats.html\">enjoy the spooky season<\/a> safely and happily! Happy Howl-oween!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>This content is for informational use only and does not replace professional nutrition and\/or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
