How to protect your pets on Halloween Party?

Taking our dogs or cats to play "trick or treat"! is very enjoyable. Candy, chocolate, disguises, sightseeing, flames, decorations, and make-up products are some of the many potential dangers that threaten your pets on Halloween. So, follow the tips to secure and protect your dogs and cats on Halloween party. 

A basket filled with candy, a lit candle, plastic decorations ... the potential for disasters with an animal on Halloween is very high. While child safety is generally a priority, it's important to protect pets during these festivities, says Mary H. J. Farrel on Consumer Reports.

Sweets are an essential point, which requires all our vigilance. Indeed, candies and chocolate in all its forms, especially dark chocolate, can be very dangerous for the health of dogs and cats. When ingested chocolate, animals like dogs or cats may experience vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, increased thirst, urination, and heart rate. Candy containing some artificial sweeteners can cause a drop in blood glucose, even in small amounts, which can lead to a lack of coordination and seizures.

Running away, burning and chewing

Here are some other security measures to follow:

• Disguising his furry friend is very cute, but not pleasant for the animal, who may be afraid and run away.

• Keep your pet in a quiet place. Dogs and cats may be frightened or agitated by the visions and unusual noises of visitors in suits. If you have a dog near the door with you, keep it on a leash.

• Cats, especially black cats, are often victims of jokes of all kinds on Halloween. Keep them inside safely.

• Place flaming decorations, such as candles and lanterns, out of the reach of your pet. Curious cats or boisterous dogs can easily spill a candle with a staggering leg or tail.

• Keep candies out of the reach of animals, and collect all wrappings to avoid the risk of swallowing, choking, or intestinal blockage.

• Do not let the family dog accompany the children on their candy hunting outings. Children may have difficulty handling an animal during the festivities, and your dog may run away.

• Keep out of reach the decorations that pets might chew, such as streamers and spiderwebs, and the wires and strings of electrical decorations. They may choke, get sick, or suffer a potentially deadly electric shock.

• Makeup and face paint can be toxic to a pet. Remember to leave them out of reach. Also, make sure that he does not lick faces made up of children.

So You've to be pleased when living every moment of the Halloween day, amusing with 'trick or treating' moment, playing with your pets without causing damages to them.
