th e Je r s e y sh o r e An i M A l Ce n t e r in Br i C k
shares the following Halloween Safety Tips
for Pets. No tricks, no treats: That bowl of
candy is for trick-or-treaters, not for pets.
Chocolate in all forms-especially dark or
baking chocolate-can be very dangerous
for dogs and cats. Candies containing the
artificial sweetener xylitol can also cause
problems. If you do suspect your pet has
ingested something toxic, please call your
veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison
Control Center at 888.426.4435. Safety
First: Wires and cords from electric lights
and other decorations should be kept out
of reach of your pets. If chewed, your pet
might suffer cuts or burns, or receive a
possibly life-threatening electrical shock.
Dress-Up: If you do dress up your pet,
make sure the costume isn’t annoying
or unsafe. It should not constrict the
animal’s movement or hearing, or impede
his ability to breathe, bark or meow. IDs,
please: Always make sure your dog or cat
has proper identification. If for any reason
your pet escapes and becomes lost, a collar
and tags and/or a microchip can be a
lifesaver.
