PET TALK NEWSLETTER Volume 8 Pet Tips -------------------------------------Your Submissions Halloween Scary for Pets Americans enjoy Halloween immensely and can't resist including their pets but perhaps they should. We love a good fright or prank but for your pets loud noise, strange costumes,and a constant barrage of strangers in costume can be traumatic and cause aggressive and exciteable behavior. You should keep your pets indoors, away from open doors and noise. A quiet room in the back of the house is best. If you must take your pet for a walk keep them on a shorter than normal leash because even the dog with the sweetest disposition can become disoriented by the costumes and noise and display aggressive behavior.. Try choosiing a less occupied street where you will meet less tricksters . The ASPCA, veterinarians and animal shelters warn owners to keep pets inside on and around Halloween because the terrible fact is that pets disappear, especially blacks cats. They are harrassed, tortured, and are even killed by cruel individuals out for a bit of "fun"! If you wish to dress your pet for Halloween make sure the pet is comfortable, unrestricted and the costume contains no rubber bands which can hinder circulation and cause injury. Remember that decorations, baubles, and candles all provide a fascination for your pets. Animals can become tangled in decorations, eat baubles, and knock over candles. Sometimes cats and dogs will try to play with an open flame this could lead to burns or a fire. The biggest concern any pet owner has is that their pet should get a hold of Halloween candy. Candy makes animals sick causing vomitting, heart disturbances, hyperactivity and in some cases death. Let's all have a safe and fun Halloween. PET HUMOR (more humor)
