Have a Howling Good Halloween

WEST CHESTER, PA - Just a reminder as Halloween draws near – dogs and chocolate aren’t a good combination. Chocolate contains a drug called theobromine, and for some dogs, this is a toxin that causes serious illness -- or worse.

Regardless of your trick or treat plans – follow these simple safety rules and keep your dog safe this Halloween.

1. No chocolate. Be careful where you put the bowl of candy.
2. Keep pets in a quiet room, insulated from doorbells and noise.
3. Keep pets on a short leash if you go outside.
4. Watch out for those pumpkins with candles.
5. Don’t force your pet to wear a costume if they are not amenable.
6. Bring your pet inside on Halloween night. Pranksters can be cruel.

Offer some dog-friendly treat alternatives. There are some howling new products available on the internet this fall. Type in Woofy-Pop on your favorite search engine -- and you’ll find a yummy, crunchy microwave-ready popcorn snack. Dogs roll-over for parmesan, bacon and chicken popcorn flavors.

Planning on snuggling and watching a scary movie this Halloween? Nothing can spoil the moment like bad breath. Have some Yip Yaps on hand – you got it. They’re a breath freshener for dogs. Speak!
