Tips for a Safe & Spooky Halloween for Your Dog

Halloween isn’t just for kids, it can be a fang-tastic time for our furry four-legged friends too! But with costumes, candy, and crowded streets, safety should always come first. Dr. Ezra Ameis, Veterinarian & founder of Paw Priority in Los Angeles, shares tips to help dogs enjoy a fun, stress-free Halloween!

 Choose Safe & Comfortable Costumes:

Ensure your dog can move, see and hear easily, and avoid choking hazards. Simple accessories like bandanas or collars work well for sensitive pups.

 Wear Reflective Gear:

Keep your dog visible with reflective collars, vests, or leashes, especially on busy Halloween streets.

 Bring Treats:

Reward good behavior with treats your dog loves.

 Watch for Hazards:

Keep dogs away from candy, glow sticks, wrappers, and small decorations.

 Watch for Stress Signs:

Panting, whining, tucked tails, or cowering are signs your dog is overwhelmed.

 Keep Candy Away at Home:

Chocolate, candy, and other human foods are toxic, keep them out of reach.
