Keep your pets safe this halloween

(and during the fireworks season!)

Halloween can be lots of fun for us, but all the knocks at the door, strange costumes, excited trick-or-treaters and unusual noises can be frightening for our four-legged friends.

A few simple precautions can help keep your dogs and cats safe and happy:

• Walk dogs before it gets dark
• Give your pets a quiet, safe space to retreat to
• Keep human sweets and chocolate well out of reach
• Use the TV or music to help drown out unfamiliar noises
• Don’t force pets to wear costumes if they’re uncomfortable
• Be extra careful around open doors when trick-or-treaters arrive
• Keep cats safely indoors, particularly once it gets dark

Every animal is different, so keep an eye on their body language and give them plenty of space and reassurance if they need it.

Have a happy, spooky and SAFE Halloween from everyone at North Clwyd Animal Rescue!
