Halloween Hazards: Tips To Keep Your Pets Out Of Trouble | Scoop News
Halloween can be a fun time for both pets and their owners, but it comes with some pawsitives and downsides to consider. On the upside, dressing up Bruno or Felix in a costume can be an adorable way to include them in the festive spirit, providing fun photo opportunities and bonding moments.
However, the drawbacks include potential discomfort from costumes, and many pets may not enjoy wearing them. Costumes can also be dangerous due to choking risks from small parts like buttons or dangling pieces and can easily get caught on objects.
A few other predicaments include loud noises from trick-or-treaters that can cause anxiety, hazardous decorations and sweet treats that can pose health risks if pets get into them.

It’s important for pet owners to strike a balance between the fun and safety of their furry companions during Halloween celebrations, says Michelle Le Long, PD Insurance COO. "Unfamiliar costumes, loud noises, and constant doorbell rings can be overwhelming for them. It’s key to keep their comfort in mind to ensure it’s a treat, not a trick, for our furry family members."
Pet costumes are increasing in popularity, with social media flooded with adorable images of pets in spooky, cute, and funny outfits. From skeleton suits to superhero capes, pet owners are keen to get their furry friends involved in the festive fun.
