Halloween safety tips for pet parents from QC Animal Welfare Center – KWQC

MILAN, Ill. (KWQC) -Halloween may be a treat for humans, but for pets, it can be a night full of unexpected tricks. With costumes, candy, and constant doorbell rings, the spooky season poses real risks for our four-legged family members

Patti McRae, Executive Director of Quad City Animal Welfare Center, shares essential safety tips to help pet owners while also introducing the audience to Paul, an 8-year-old neutered male Chihuahua and Dachshund mix. His previous owner ​could no longer care for him, so he needs a new loving forever home.

Quad City Animal Welfare Center reminds everyone that chocolate is very toxic to dogs and cats, and sugar-free treats containing xylitol can be deadly. Therefore, it is important to keep candy bowls out of reach of animals–and make sure guests know the safety rules about never sharing candy with pets.

Even small decorations like plastic spiders or glow sticks can cause choking or intestinal blockages if swallowed. Any decor that poses potential dangers (especially around dogs that like to chew on anything and everything) needs to be kept far enough away from our curious friends.

With trick-or-treaters coming and going, pets may get spooked and bolt through an open door. McRae recommends keeping pets in a quiet, secure room away from the action. The truth is that even the most well-behaved pet can panic with all the commotion.
