On Halloween, it's best to keep your pets indoors. This will help to protect them from the dangers of trick-or-treaters, decorations, and other hazards.
Supervise them closely. Keep an eye out for decorations that they could chew on or eat, and be careful of open flames from candles or jack-o'-lanterns.
If you do choose to dress up your pet, be sure to choose a costume that is appropriate for their size and breed. Avoid costumes that could restrict their movement or breathing.
It's important to keep pets away from candy, as it can be harmful to them. If your pet does ingest candy, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Make sure your pet has a secure collar with an ID tag that includes your contact information. This will help to ensure that your pet can be returned to you if they get lost.
Be aware of your surroundings. Watch out for traffic, and be careful of people who may be carrying sharp objects or wearing costumes that could frighten your pet.
Have a plan in place in case your pet gets lost. This could include giving your pet a microchip or tattoo, or having a friend or family member stay home to watch them.
