Five reasons pet Halloween costumes could see owners banned from keeping animals
Halloween is a time of fun for all the family. Kids get to dress up and gorge themselves on sweets after trick-or-treating, while adults get tasty seasonal drinks and watching their favourite horror flicks.
One member of the family who seems to be getting more involved in recent years is the pet. People love dressing up their furry friend in spooky costumes.
And while these look cute and usually perform well on social media, they can actually be putting both the pet and the owner at risk.
Autumn is always a risky time for our animals, with fireworks and storms causing many dogs extreme stress. Some owners take their pets for a drive away from the loud sounds, while others have turned to specially-designed anxiety coats that keep them calm.
Those coats can help with animal anxiety at this time of year, but other items of clothing can make things far worse. Not only can they cause the pet discomfort, they can get the owner in serious trouble, according to experts.
