6965 - PSA - Critters, this time!

Keep pets inside your home, especially on Halloween night. If pets are outside, keep them supervised and close to your side.

When walking your dog on Halloween, try to avoid large crowds of costumed people. Also, try to avoid having your dog lick the sidewalk where eggs or shaving cream have been dropped.

Chocolate is poisonous to animals. (Dogs especially but it will make cats sick.) After checking all candy for your children, put it out of reach of your pets' reach.

If you are handing out candy, keep your pets in a room away from the front door so that they can't get outside.

Keep yours pets away from lit jack-o-lanterns. Pets are often attracted by the light and could get burned.

I have two black cats- and they are not allowed anywhere near the doors during the Halloween season. A neighbor of mine is an assistant at a vet's office and she said that reports of abuse and killings of black cats goes through the roof around this time.
