There’s nothing worse than a pet emergency, except for those times when a dire situation could have been prevented. When it comes to celebrating a holiday with pets, the focus definitely tends to shift away from the routine toward creating special moments and lasting memories. But, without a conscious and complete nod to Halloween pet safety, all the potential fun and good times can quickly become downgraded by a pet’s holiday-related fear, stress, illness or injury.

Covering All Bases

One of the best defenses against Halloween-related threats is to simply keep your pet away from possible dangers. Keep your pet confined to a comfortable, well-ventilated back room away from the constantly ringing doorbell. You could also crate them during the peak hours of trick-or-treating to keep them from bolting out the door into the night.

One of the most frightening and destructive phenomena is a natural disaster. Natural disasters often happen with little to no warning, and can cause confusion and chaos if not planned for in advance. 

It’s likely that most of us have a disaster preparedness plan in place for ourselves and our families, but what about our pets? If pets are a part of the family, there are a few specific things to plan for to make sure they are cared for in a natural disaster.

Let the team at True Care Veterinary Hospital make sure you have the knowledge and skills to make natural disaster preparation for pets a breeze.
