HAPPY HOWLOWEEN!! SOME SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR DOGS!!

Written by a CP Media Volunteer

Saratoga

Monika's Saratoga shows off her costume for our story!

Growing up in a small town in upstate New York I have fond memories of celebrating Halloween as a child. After walking for hours and knocking on doors we finally got to go home and see what delicious treasures we were given after our Mom went through all of our loot and decided what we could and could not have. One day I became a parent and that meant that I was responsible for my children and our family pets. Now, my pets have become my “children” and yes I am still an over protective Mom. Here are some tips to keep our little fur children safe and secure this Halloween.

1. Never give them candy of any kind. Chocolate (especially dark and baking chocolate) is very dangerous for dogs and cats. Symptoms of ingesting chocolate may include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, increased thirst, urination, and heart rate, and even seizures. Candies containing artificial sweetener (xylitol) can be lethal to dogs. Even small amounts can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, which can than lead to depression, lack of coordination and seizures. The wrappers that the candy comes in can create a choking hazard and/or intestinal blockage.

2. Halloween plants such as pumpkins can produce gastrointestinal upset should pets ingest them which could also lead to intestinal blockage if a large piece is swallowed.

3. Be sure to keep wires and cords from electric lights and other decoration out of reach Dog slove to chew, which may cause damage to their mouths from chards of glass or plastic, or they could get a life-threatening electrical shock.

4. Candles inside of pumpkins could be knocked over. Hot wax could leave bad burns, and fire can cause a severe burn or worse. Consider where candles are placed.

5. If you plan to dress up your dog, make sure it is comfortable in the costume and that is fits well and has no pieces that can be chewed off or caught on anything. It shouldn’t constrict their movement, vision or hearing, or obstruct their ability to breathe or bark. Try the costume on in advance and if your dog isn’t comfortable, consider a bandana or no costume .

6. Be sure to keep your dogs safe. Doorbells and strangers in costumes can be stressful to them. My husband and I take turns sitting outside in a lawn chair with a big bowl of candy and greet the trick-or-treaters that come to our house. This way no one has to ring our doorbell or knock on the door. Secure the entrance so your dog can not dart out.

7. Identification with current information should be present on your dog. If your dog gets out, a harness/collar with ID and/or a microchip increase the chances that your pet will be found and returned to you.

Halloween Pet Safety Tips

Information taken from Halloween Safety Guide, HSUS, Pet Safety on Halloween.

Jack-o'-lanterns, trick-or-treaters, haunted houses and costume parties. Halloween is full of fun things for you and your family to enjoy, but it's one of those holidays that is enjoyed more by people than by pets.

Keep the following precautions in mind when preparing for the frightfully fun festivities and help ensure that everyone in your family—including your pet—has a safe Halloween.

• As much as your dog or cat may beg for some of your Halloween candy, always remember that chocolate may be deadly to them even in small amounts.



• Keep your pet in a quiet place, away from trick-or-treaters and other Halloween activities. You may know that the miniature monsters and goblins who come knocking on Halloween aren't real, but pets don't. Dogs and cats are creatures of habit and could become frightened or agitated by the unaccustomed sights and sounds of costumed visitors. In addition, frequently opened doors provide a perfect opportunity for escape, which can go unnoticed during all the commotion. Be sure all pets are wearing collars and ID tags in case of an accidental getaway.



• Dogs can have lethal tails, wagging all over the place. Don't leave any lighted candles or Jack-O-Lanterns where they could be knocked over by a swinging tail or by a curious cat. Not only could your pet start a fire but they could severely burn themselves in the process.



• If you are having a indoor party, make sure that you put your dog or cat in a room where they won't be disturbed. Unless your pet is ultra friendly and doesn't mind loud noises, music and lots of people you should keep them separate for the night. Also, be careful your cat or dog doesn't dart out through the open door as you hand out candy. Best bet is to just put them in a crate with some food and water for the night and check on them once in a while to let them know everything is fine.



• Candy wrappers, such as tin foil, can get stuck in your pets digestive tract and make them ill or cause death. There are plenty of recipes for making homemade dog and cat treats, you can always make them their own Halloween treats.



• Don't let the family dog accompany the kids on their trick-or-treat outing. Children may have a difficult time handling a pet during the festivities and your pooch could get loose, especially if your dog is scared by the strange sights and sounds of trick-or-treaters.



• Don't leave your pet outside on Halloween: There are plenty of stories of vicious pranksters who have teased, injured, stolen, even killed pets on this night. Plus with all the things happening that evening it can be more than a little frightening for our animals.

Col. Potter wishes everyone a Happy Halloween!

Foster Spotlight - Servus Update!

UPDATE: We are very pleased to announce that Servus has found his forever family! Are you looking for a TERRIFIC TERRIER? Check out our available cairns! Look for Servus and other "Happily Ever After" stories on our Post Adoption blog.

Written by his Foster Mom

Servus (nicknamed Sammy) loves his toys and is happy little boy, wagging his tail until his whole body wiggles. He is also very tolerant of foster mom dressing him up for Halloween. His weakness is squeaky toys, but he can’t resist going into foster mom’s purse to steal various items. He’s been known to look longingly at the kitchen trash can, but since he can’t get to it, no problems, but more than likely he would find a way to get into it if he could.

Servus/Sammy is a typical puppy mill breeder boy. He is not trusting of humans, feels competition with other male dogs, and is subservient to female dogs (he knows who is boss!). He has learned to trust his foster mom, and will learn to trust his new family. The more comfortable he gets, the more his true cairn personality comes out. He loves to play with toys, and been seen playing briefly with the resident female cairn. Since he’s been in his foster home for a good while, he’s gotten very comfortable with the other resident dogs. However, he considers cats as prey and he should only be adopted to a cat-free home. Servus was abused and not given a chance to socialize in the puppy mill, but you can see the sensitivity and need to be loved when you look deep into his eyes. I hope you enjoy this little video of a sweet little cairn who looks cute wearing horns, a wig, a pirate’s costume and a Dracula cape.
