But please do not put your pet in a costume unless you know he or she likes to be in disguise! Wearing a costume can cause undo stress for some pets. Make sure the costume does not have any dangling or ill-fitting pieces that can be caught on something or chewed off.<\/p>\n<p>* <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Keep pets inside<\/span> to avoid pranksters. Sadly, there are people out there who may be out to cause your pet harm. This is especially true for cats. And keep your pet in a separate room during trick-or-treating hours. Too many strangers and door bell ringing can be stressful on animals.<\/p>\n<p>* <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Keep the pumpkins and decorations<\/span> out of reach of your pet. Wires, cords, and plastic can all cause harm if pulled and chewed.<\/p>\n<p>* <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Have fun and Happy Halloween!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0We hope these safety tips help.
