Halloween Safety Tips For Pets And Healthy Halloween Dog Treat Recipe

Pet Safety For Halloween

You want your pet to have a happy and safe Halloween. Here some safety tips provided by the American Red Cross.

1. A t-shirt is probably the best costume if you need to use one. Do not use anything that is around the neck or over the face. Make sure there is nothing detachable or chewable that can lead to stomach upset or intestinal obstruction.

2. Chocolate is toxic to animals. Please don’t give your pets or let anyone feed your pets chocolate or any other candy.

3. Keep pets confined for trick or treating. Pets should be kept in another room during parties and when kids come to the door. If you don’t keep your animal in another room,  they can escape from the opening and closing doors, so make sure they are wearing identification.

4. Don’t let your pet get spooked. Animals can definitely get “spooked” and scared from kids in costumes and all of the noise – another reason to keep them in another room and not take them trick or treating.

Here is a Halloween treat that is safe for your dog to eat:

PUMPKIN WAFERS DOG TREAT RECIPE from All-Natural-Dog-Treat.com

Ingredients:

One 15 oz. can mashed pure pumpkin (NOT the spiced pie filling)

3/4 cup cream of wheat (or rice cereal if wheat-sensitive) You can mix this dry–no need to cook it first

1/2 cup dry powdered milk
Directions: Preheat oven to 300 F.Mix all ingredients together. Drop small spoonfuls ( I use the about half of a tablespoon) onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes.If you’d like to make bite sized cookies for small dogs, training rewards or just small treats, use a pastry bag and squeeze out rosettes about the size of a dime for tasty bite sized cookies.
