It's spooky season and while we all love Halloween, it can be a really stressful time for our pets - Dogs Trust have shared their advice on keeping our pooches safe
It can be a dangerous holiday for dogs, due to the loud noises, bonfires and a lot of toxic food lying around.
A recent study of dog owners revealed that 37% of dogs struggle to stay calm when fireworks can be heard. With dog’s hearing being approximately four times more sensitive than humans, it’s no wonder they find the whizz, pop and bang of fireworks disturbing. They are also reminding dog owners to beware of the toxic threats Halloween treats pose to dogs. Chocolate, raisins, grapes and sweets containing xylitol are all poisonous to pooches, so be sure to keep them well out of reach of curious canines and remind children that their Halloween treats aren’t to be shared with their fury friends. If you think your dog has eaten something they shouldn’t, contact your vet immediately.
