CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - This Halloween should be safe and fun for everyone, including your pets.
“Ninety million pounds of chocolate is sold during Halloween week, so that’s 90 million problems for dogs,” Julia Conner, a Humane Education specialist, says.
Raisinets are a good example of something that could be toxic to your dog, along with candy that has zylitol, a common sugar substitute.
The costumes can be a red flag for dogs as well.
Pets are easily frightened by costumes and loud noises. It’s best to keep them home when the kids are out trick-or-treating.
