#TipTuesday – Halloween Pet Safety

Halloween (and HOWL-o-ween) is almost here! While most of us enjoy this spooky holiday, it can be full of dangers for our pets. Here are a few tips to keep your four-legged friends safe this weekend. Firstly, keep any candy well out of reach, chocolate and sweeteners like xylitol are toxic to dogs. It’s best to keep pets safely enclosed since you will probably be opening the front door frequently to greet trick-or-treaters. Also, make sure your dog has proper identification on his or her collar. Decorations are fun, but your dog may think this is a new and exciting chew toy! Ensure that your pet isn’t left unattended with any decorations or lit candles.

Tip Tuesday

It’s that time of year where everything seems to be pumpkin flavored; but did you know that dog’s enjoy pumpkin too? Pumpkin puree can be very beneficial for dogs and is a great way to give your dog a nutritional boost. A main benefit for our four-legged friends is the fiber content in pumpkin. “Pumpkin contains nearly three grams of fiber per one cup serving. Increased dietary fiber can help pets suffering from diarrhea. Both cats and dogs are prone to large bowel diarrhea (also known as colitis), often from food changes or dietary indiscretion (eating something that one should not).” Pumpkin also provides a healthy punch of moisture to your dog’s food, especially if they are eating a dry dog food. Furthermore, pumpkin is a great source of potassium, vitamin C, and beta-carotene. As always, consult your veterinarian if your dog is experiencing digestion issues or you plan on making any dietary changes. You can make your own pumpkin puree or purchase it from the store, make sure that you are NOT using a pumpkin pie filling, which contains sugar and spices.
