The countdown to Halloween is on - we’re just about 10 days out from the costumes and candy! If you’re getting ready to celebrate and want to include your furry friend, there are a few important safety tips you’ll want to follow.
Lidia Vesterfelt from Michigan Humane joined “Live in the D” to share some helpful reminders. With her is a dog named Gwendolyn, who is looking for her forever home.
As fun as it is to bring your pet out for the holiday, it can be a stressful time for them. If you plan on dressing them up, make sure they are comfortable in it first. Consider leaving your pet at home for trick-or-treating. If you decide to bring them, be sure they are wearing their ID tag and collar. Provide your pet with a safe space during parties or when trick-or-treaters are around. Lastly, be sure to keep all candy out of their reach - especially chocolate.
