2
Don’t feed your pets halloween candy:
It is not healthy for pets to eat candy and in some cases can even be deadly. In general, anytime you have any doubt about if you should feed something to your pet play it safe and don’t do it or consult your veterinarian!

Minimize the amount of times your doorbell goes off by unhooking it or giving out candy outside of your home!
Pets can become excitable and anxious from the sound of the doorbell and the increased frequency from trick or treaters can make things even worse.

Keep Glow sticks and glow jewelry away from pets:
