How to Celebrate a Pet-Friendly Halloween Day?

Here is a quick guide on how you and your pet can celebrate this Halloween in the safest way:

Costume Selection

Halloween calls for spooky and vibrant costumes that add charm to the celebrations. Theme-based costumes such as vampires, witches, skeletons and devils are the most popular ones. You can also dress your pet in the most creative theme-based costumes and let them enjoy the festivities just like you do. If your furry animal feels uncomfortable, try using something minimal like a bandana or a collar based on the Halloween theme.

Decorations

Shimmery garlands, lit pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, glow sticks, etc. are the heart and soul of the Halloween decorations. But are these decorations safe for your pets? Definitely not! All these Halloween decorative items can trigger your pet’s curiosity and they might injure themselves by knocking over lit pumpkins or chewing glow sticks, leading to burns, choking and digestive issues. You can consider using pet-friendly decorative items and let your furry friends enjoy the best paw-sible way.

Games & Activities

Is there a party without fun games and activities? Halloween is also about entertaining games and fun-filled activities that keep everyone engaged and happy. Plan some easy and engaging fun activities for your pets like hunting, trick-or-treat, bobbing for tennis balls, best costume contest, etc. so that they do not feel left out and enjoy the festival to the fullest.

Gifts & Goodies 

One of the most exciting parts of Halloween celebrations is the gifts and goodies some people exchange. Just like humans, pets love getting surprised with exciting gifts and there are few better occasions than Halloween to make your pets feel loved. Consider pampering your furry friends with colourful squeaky toys, treats and pet-friendly glow sticks this Halloween.

Food & Drinks

Every celebration is incomplete without tasty treats and refreshing drinks and so is Halloween. Pumpkin pie, caramel apple, cookies, candies and chilled drinks are some of the most served delights during Halloween celebrations. However, these are not safe for your pet and some of them can be toxic for them. However, you can serve them with pet-friendly foods like peanut butter, bananas, pumpkin biscuits and blueberries.

Safe Corner

Halloween celebrations are closely associated with constantly ringing doorbells, loud noises, spooky costumes and unfamiliar faces. These characteristics make the party both exciting and engaging and keep the fun alive. In contrary, it can be a scary experience for your pet as they are not accustomed to frequently visiting strangers in spooky costumes. Make sure you create a calm corner for your little one with their comfy bed, favourite treats and toys to make them feel relaxed and safe.

Final Words

Halloween is the much-awaited and one of the most exciting times of the year filled with tasty treats and sparkling decorations. While this can be a festive time for you, your pets may suffer from wary noises and uncomfortable costumes. With a little preparation, you can enjoy Halloween at its best and also make your pets have a blast.

Following the tips mentioned in this blog and making small changes will help keep your furry companions safe and have a furr-tabulous Halloween celebration.
