Halloween Pet Safety Tips with The Pet Lady

WOODSIDE, N.Y. - Oct. 16, 2017 - PRLog -- Halloween has become increasingly popular over the past few years, especially for pet owners. According to the Halloween Spending Survey, an annual report released by the National Retail Federation (NRF), (https://nrf.com/media/press-releases/nrf-157-million-americans-will-celebrate-halloween-this-year) it is predicted that Halloween spending for 2017 will reach a record high $9.1 billion in sales. Pets will not be left behind, with 10% of consumers planning to dress their furry friend as a pumpkin!

Let's be mindful of a few pet hazards present during the Halloween season and make sure to follow these safety tips for our four-legged friends!

• Decorate with your pet in mind.

• A tired dog is a good dog!

The new all-in-one PET DINETTE & Leash allows pet owner to pack all of their walking essentials so that they can grab n' go with ease! This item includes a 5-foot leash and two modular serving and storage bowls that can be used to serve water, hold a portion of food, treats or store your credit card, license or house key. You can attach a waste bag dispenser too! Pet owners can hold the PET DINETTE & Leash comfortably in their hand during walks thanks to the soft rubber handle.  Having these necessities right at your fingertips will be sure to make it a more enjoyable occasion for all! https://www.sitstaygoco.com/.

·         Create a Zen space.
You can also set the calming mood and freshen up their Zen space with a Wax Melt from Pet House Candles. The Wax Melt, along with the entire Pet House Candles line, has been specially formulated to freshen pet-loving homes thanks to their effective odor neutralizer. These unique melts are made from 100% natural wax and infused with their signature blend of essential oils.  In addition, they are made in the USA and free of dyes and paraffin/petroleum by-products.  The Pumpkin Spice and Falling Leaves scent would make the "paw-fect" fragrance to add to your home this Halloween! https://www.onefurallpets.com/.

• The candy bowl is NOT for Scruffy or Fluffy. Bags full of candy and chocolaty treats can be extremely tempting for our fur-friends. It's important to keep that Halloween candy stash in a safe place, far out of paws reach.  Instead, share a SmartBones with your pooch! SmartBones Holistic Grain Free Dog Chew is the perfect chew to keep your dog happy and occupied.  In addition to being rawhide and grain free, SmartBones® Holistic Chews are gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, contain no chicken-by-products and are low fat. Just like all SmartBones® chews, they are highly digestible too.  https://www.smartbones.com/.

• Ghosts, ghouls and goblins can cause doorbell anxiety! Strangers dressed in costumes and the constant ringing of the doorbell may be scary to even the friendliest of pets. Fear, anxiety and unusual activities and visitors can all pose threats to our pets during this holiday.

Calm your pooch with Treatibles Hemp Wellness Chews! Treatibles products all contain phytocannabinoid rich oil extracted from whole plant medicinal grade hemp grown in the USA. In addition to cannabidiol (CBD), one of the most therapeutic compounds, several other phytocannabinoids as well as terpenes are included creating what is known as the entourage effect, providing a full spectrum of benefits for pets, including helping to ease anxiety. The Treatibles Pumpkin flavored chew is the perfect option for this time of year!  https://www.treatibles.com/.

•  Let Fido Trick-or-Treat in style. If you plan to take your pet trick-or-treating with the family or to the local Halloween parade, be sure to keep him or her leashed at all times. A fun way to include your pup is to strap on A Pet with Paws Doggie Backpack (http://www.apetwithpaws.com/) before hitting the streets. This stylish, eco-friendly backpack will make a fabulous fashion statement this Halloween and will give Fido the opportunity to carry his own poop bags. In addition, this backpack is the perfect spot for your pup to store his very own treat collection too! https://www.apetwithpaws.com/.

• Only dress your pet up if they are safe and comfortable! Did you know 1 in 5 millennials will dress their pets in costumes this year? If your furry friend doesn't mind dressing up, make sure that you select a costume that doesn't restrict his normal movements, breathing or vision. Costumes that interfere with these things can cause ligament or joint injuries, and animals are more likely to bite if their vision is impaired.
