Post Halloween dangers for pets
#1
Now that Halloween is over there is a new danger, especially for our  dogs. It is our Halloween candy. Chocolate is toxic to  dogs and so is Xylitol an artificial sweetener.

We might want to share our treats with our dog, but it is too dangerous. Better to get a dog treat and share that with your dog whenever you want to have one of you Halloween candy treats. You will feel good for sharing with your pet and the pet will be safe because you have given it a pet friendly treat.

With things like chocolate it is better to be safe than sorry. Always keep your candy out of your dog's reach.
Halloween was fun. Let's not spoil it with a veterinary emergency.

Yes there must be a lot of chocolate and other sweet treats still around from Halloween. Putting them on a counter doesn't stop many dogs from getting them. Most cats wouldn't be tempted but dogs would! Some dogs can open cupboards as well! So high up on a shelf or in a high cupboard is best.

A lot of our candy will be around all week. I have leftover red licorice. It is fine in small amounts, but no pet should eat that much sugar.  It is of course the chocolate that is deadly and there must be lots of that still around. If you have a dog you need an upper cupboard or a sealed tin or jar. A plastic container would not be dog proof.  This warning is the same for Christmas. Too many of our Christmas foods are bad for dogs and even poisonous. We wouldn't leave poisonous medication around so why would we be careless with chocolate. We forget that dogs can't eat it. Better to always be cautious about what we let our pets eat.
