Happy Halloween everyone! It's a gloomy, rainy day in the Bay Area, perfect Halloween weather. But with all the fun we humans have on this costume wearing and candy filled day, it can be truly frightening to our pets.
The door bell rings and knocking at the door repeatedly, at night, and we open it up to small "creatures" dressed up as zombies, princesses, ninja's etc, etc, etc screaming "TRICK OR TREAT!!!". Wow, now read that sentence again imagining the same scenario from your pet's eyes. Pretty scary huh?! Over the weeks, as neighbors have decorated their house in ghoulish designs, some of the dogs I've been walking have stared at these decorations in true confusion and worry. Our pets don't know what's going on and this seemingly innocent and fun tradition can scare them so much that they may run away from home and can end up hit by a car or, if they are lucky, in a shelter. Black cats especially need to be kept inside tonight as sometimes they are captured to be used in sick, depraved and torturous evil rituals. Below, I've included several links to tips about keeping your pets safe this Halloween.
