Halloween is approaching. Here are some safety tips from ASPCA:
1. Please don't leave your pet out in the yard on Halloween.
2. Keep your outdoor cats inside several days before and several days after Halloween.
3. No tricks, no treats: That bowlful of candy is for trick-or-treaters, not for Scruffy and Sammy.
4. A carved pumpkin certainly is festive, but do exercise extreme caution if you choose to add a candle.
5. Dress-up can be a big mess-up for some pets. Please don't put your dog or cat in a costume UNLESS you know he or she loves it (yup, a few pets are real hams!).
6. If you do dress up your pet, make sure the costume isn't annoying or unsafe.
7. Take a closer look at your pet’s costume and make sure it does not obstruct her vision in any way.
8. All but the most social dogs and cats should be kept in a separate room during peak trick-or-treat visiting hours. Too many strangers can be scary and stressful for pets.
9. When opening the door for trick-or-treaters, take care that your cat or dog doesn't dart outside.
10. IDs, please! Always make sure your dog or cat has proper identification.
