Halloween Safety Tips for Cats

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  It is fun to see all the imaginative costumes people come up with... and then, of course, there is the candy.  For our pets, Halloween can be hazardous so it is important to keep the following tips in mind.



Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  It is fun to see all the imaginative costumes people come up with... and then, of course, there is the candy.  For our pets, Halloween can be hazardous so it is important to keep the following tips in mind.



If you want your pet to wear a costume, choose it carefully and introduce it slowly. A simple accessory goes a long way!  I introduced Mocha's pumpkin costume slowly.  It attached loosely around his neck and chest and he would wear it for a few minuted every day.  The hat, he really never got used to, so I didn't push it.  The most important thing is to get your pet accustomed to wearing a costume well before Halloween.



So many candies that we hand out can be potentially life-threatening so keep it well out of the reach of your pet. Chocolate is especially toxic for dogs and cats.  The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center has a Mobile App that could come in handy in case of an emergency.


For a Halloween treat for my cats I ordered some delicious Cat Man doo bonita tuna flakes from chewy.com  they love this all natural healthy nutritious treat!
