They enjoy chirping at the birds thru the windows, daily treat time and playtime before bed! I’ll try to send a couple photos. Tysm for our fur babies!" Thank you, Billie for this great update!

🍫🚫 Halloween Pet Safety Tip: Keep Candy Away From Curious Noses! 🚫🍬 Halloween is all about treats for kids, but for our pets, those sweet snacks can be a real trick! Pets have a super sense of smell and can sniff out candy—no matter how well you hide it! Kids may stash their goodies in bedrooms, but a determined dog or nosy cat can still find their way to the loot. 🛑 Why It’s Dangerous: Chocolate in any form (especially dark or baking chocolate) is toxic to both cats and dogs. Sugar-free candies that contain xylitol can be life-threatening for dogs, even in small amounts. To keep your pets safe: 🍬 Keep candy bowls and treat bags high up, out of reach, and never leave them on low tables or counters. 🍫 Store sweets in cabinets or containers with secure lids. 🙅‍♂️ Remind kids to keep candy out of their rooms if you have pets at home! A moment’s curiosity can lead to a scary vet visit this Halloween—so let’s make sure the only thing pets collect this holiday are extra cuddles and treats made just for them! Share this tip to keep all furry friends safe and healthy this spooky season! 👻🐶🐱

🎃🚪 **Halloween Pet Safety Tip: Soothe & Protect with a Calm Retreat!** 🚪🎃 Halloween brings excitement for people, but all those visitors in masks, ringing doorbells, and loud knocks can be frightening for our pets—even the bravest ones! With a little planning, you can help your furry friend feel safe and secure all night long. **How to Keep Your Pet Calm and Happy:** 👻 **Set Up a Quiet Hideaway:** During trick-or-treating or parties, give your pet their own safe, comfy space in a separate room—with favorite bedding, food puzzle toys for dogs, or interactive toys for cats. 🎶 **Add Soothing Sounds:** Play relaxing music, turn on the TV, or use a white noise machine to help mask doorbells, knocking, and even the sound of firecrackers. 🧡 **Use Calming Aids:** If your pet is especially anxious, try a Thundershirt or similar calming vest. For pets with severe anxiety, consult your veterinarian about safe, recommended medications. 🤔 **Know When to Retreat:** Even social pets can get overwhelmed by all the activity and creepy costumes. If you’re unsure how your pet will react, it’s always safer to give them a quiet retreat away from the festivities. 🙏 **Happy Pets = Happy Halloween:** A calm pet means less stress for everyone!

Meet **Baguette**—an irresistibly charming, buff-colored male Domestic Shorthair mix! At just 5 months old, Baguette has already perfected the art of undercover surveillance and secret-keeping.

👻✨ Halloween Pet Costume Safety Tips! ✨👻 Dressing up your furry friend for Halloween can be *spook-tacularly* cute and makes for unforgettable photos—but safety and comfort always come first! 🎩🐾 **Pet Costumes: Fun, Not Frightful** - Only dress up your dog or cat if they truly enjoy it—never force your furball into something that makes them stressed or uncomfortable. - Double-check that costumes don’t restrict your pet’s movement, sight, breathing, barking, or meowing. - Inspect costumes for small, dangling, or easily chewed-off bits—these are choking hazards! - Avoid costumes with headpieces and skip any ill-fitting outfits. These can get twisted and lead to injury. - Always let your pet try on the costume *before* Halloween night. If they seem distressed or act out of character, swap the costume for a cute bandana or let them rock their “birthday suit” in style! 🎃👑 **People Accessories = Pet Hazards** - Those finishing touches for your own costume—like small props or plastic accessories—can be irresistible (and dangerous) to curious pets. Keep them well out of paws’ reach to avoid choking or poisoning. When it comes to Halloween, pet happiness and safety are always in fashion! Share these tips to help your community have a happy, stress-free, and stylish Halloween together.

🎃🐾 Halloween Pet Safety Tips! 🐾🎃 Brought to you by Dusey and Harlow Halloween brings fun, costumes, and extra excitement to the neighborhood but it can also be a *tricky* and spooky time for our furry friends! Here’s how to make sure your pets stay safe (and stylish!) this Halloween: 👻 **ID = Peace of Mind** An ID tag is a *lifesaver* if your pet gets lost on Halloween or any other night! Don’t settle for boring tags when there are so many cute, fun, and Halloween-themed options out there. Show off your pet’s personality while keeping them safe! 👀 **Watch Out for Spooks & Strangers** With more people (and costumes!) around, even the bravest pets can get scared and bolt. If you’re going out after dark, always keep your pet on a secure leash and make sure their collar is reflective for extra visibility. 💡 **Prevention is Key!** Keep pets indoors if they’re easily frightened by noise or costumes. Before the big night, double-check that your pet’s microchip info and ID tags are up-to-date. 📣 **Spread the Word!** Share these tips with your community so every pet parent can have a safe, happy Halloween! Stay safe, have fun, and show off those adorable Trick-or-Treat pet looks—with safety in mind! 🐕🦴🧡

IT'S NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY! 🐱😽 And Alfalfa, Dylan, and Evelyn wanted to debunk some black cat myths for you: 1. Black cats have a harder time being adopted than other cats. - Black cats are the 2nd most common color to come into shelters after multi-colored cats. And statistics show that they get adopted at a high rate. So it's not that they aren't getting adopted, there's just more of them to begin with! 2. Black cats bring bad luck. - This myth dates back to the Middle Ages! But in many places around the world, they are actually a symbol of good luck (eg. Japan, Scotland, and France) and can bring you love and good fortune. 3. Black cats are at risk of being used in rituals or abused during Halloween. - this urban legend, once perpetuated widely, has long been dispelled. There is no evidence that adopting black cats around Halloween poses any greater risk to the pets than adopting them at any other time of the year.
