Pet Care

Pets can be distressed by the noise and fuss. Here are some tips to help keep them safe.

  • Keep pets indoors if at all possible. They may be startled by loud noises or confused by people in costume - especially in masks.
  • Don't put a costume on your pet. Many find this uncomfortable.
  • Don't take your pets trick or treating. They may get confused and upset. 
  • Pets are sensitive to loud noises and can be startled by loud bangs. One suggestion is to place them in a room with a radio on to help cover sudden noises.
  • Keep sweets away from pets! Some sweets are toxic to animals.
  • Be careful with decorations as pets will pull at them. Also, be mindful if you are using real candles.
