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!
Ensure your dog can move, see and hear easily, and avoid choking hazards. Simple accessories like bandanas or collars work well for sensitive pups.
Keep your dog visible with reflective collars, vests, or leashes, especially on busy Halloween streets.
Reward good behavior with treats your dog loves.
Keep dogs away from candy, glow sticks, wrappers, and small decorations.
Panting, whining, tucked tails, or cowering are signs your dog is overwhelmed.
Chocolate, candy, and other human foods are toxic, keep them out of reach.
