Editor’s Letter
October 2024
Lucy Morris Editor-in-chief Happy Halloween you purrfect furry friends and owners! I hope Halloween is a spooktacular time for you and your companions. As Halloween approaches, our thoughts turn to the spooky and spectacular, and our pets are no exception to the festive spirit. This haunting season brings unique opportunities and considerations for pet owners. While the idea of dressing up our furry friends in adorable or frightful costumes is tempting, it’s crucial to prioritize their comfort and safety. If you choose to costume your pet, ensure the outfit doesn’t restrict their movement, breathing, or ability to see and hear. Always supervise costumed pets to prevent any distress or potential hazards. Halloween decorations can pose risks to curious pets. Keep candles, jack-o’-lanterns, and electrical cords out of reach to avoid burns or shocks. Be mindful of decorative items that could be choking hazards if ingested, such as fake cobwebs or small plastic accessories. The influx of treats during Halloween can be dangerous for our animal companions. Chocolate, in particular, is toxic to dogs and cats, so keep all sweets securely stored away. Consider offering pet-safe treats as an alternative, allowing your furry friends to partake in the festivities without putting their health at risk. Many pet stores offer specially formulated Halloween-themed treats that are both safe and enjoyable for animals. You can also prepare homemade treats using pet-friendly ingredients like pumpkin, sweet potato, or lean meats. This way, your pets can indulge in the holiday spirit alongside you, creating a fun and inclusive experience for the whole family while ensuring their well-being remains a top priority. For pets who may find the constant doorbell ringing and parade of costumed visitors stressful, create a quiet, comfortable space where they can retreat. This ensures they have a safe haven away from the excitement and potential anxiety triggers. Embracing the Halloween season with our pets can be a joyful experience when approached with care and consideration. By keeping their well-being at the forefront, we can ensure that both humans and animals alike have a safe and enjoyable spooky season. Next time, join us in the most wonderful time of the year, and we know you’re all about involving your furry friends in the festivities see you there! Happy holidays!
