Don't forget, with Halloween approaching, to keep your dogs safe!
Keep all candy where they cannot get it - chocolate can kill them, but so could ingesting those colorful plastic wrappers if they become a blockage.
Have a plan for trick-or-treat time! If your dog is gonna try to scare off the kids in costume, best keep him or her in a separate room! Or, if your dog is gonna try to lick all their faces, or dart out the door, better keep him or her leashed. Our beloved Freckles thought all the kids were there to see her, but not every child appreciates 185 pounds of enthusiasm!
Keep black pets inside - particularly cats - in the days leading up to Halloween, just in case.
And after Halloween is over, before you let the dogs out, go out yourself, and make sure there's no dropped candy where the dogs can find it!
