Hello All,
It’s October! Time for turning leaves, pumpkin picking and Halloween treats! I love this time of year, don’t you? I thought I’d pass along some Halloween safety tips for all of my 4 legged friends!
1. Chocolate is a no-no for dogs. It can cause all sorts of problems for dogs including vomiting, diarrhea and even seizures. Candy containing artificial sweeteners can be poisonous too, and be very careful of candy wrappers that get left around; the foil and cellophane wrappers can cause choking!

1. Chocolate is a no-no for dogs. It can cause all sorts of problems for dogs including vomiting, diarrhea and even seizures. Candy containing artificial sweeteners can be poisonous too, and be very careful of candy wrappers that get left around; the foil and cellophane wrappers can cause choking!
2. Don’t let dogs eat pumpkins or decorative corn. They can cause gastrointestinal upset or intestinal blockage!
3. If you decorate for the holiday be careful to hide electric cords and keep decorations out of reach! Puppies love to chew!
4. If you carve a pumpkin, be careful if you light it. An excited pup can knock over the lit pumpkin and start a fire or get burned!
5. Please don’t dress up your dog unless he really wants to, sometimes a dog can get very uncomfortable and it causes stress. 6. If your dog does love to dress up, make sure the costume is safe. It should not constrict movement, hearing or sight. Try a “dress rehearsal” night. Make sure there are no small pieces parts to chew off! Remember a festive bandana is another option!
7. Too many costumed visitors can scare a dog! If he seems upset, maybe you might need to put him in a separate room during the busy times.
8. When you open the door for trick or treaters, make sure your dog doesn’t dart outside! And always make sure you dog is wearing his collar with identification! Just incase he escapes and becomes lost!
To help celebrate Halloween, I wanted to extend to you a ghostly good savings offer. If you go to www.DogCandlesAndMore.com you will save 21% off your entire order. Just use coupon code “howl” and receive 21% off! This offer will last just about as long as the candy in our house and it will be gone on October 31, 2009. What would look really great would be to dress your dog up in it's costume and order a photo candle with the picture. If you check out the http://www.DogCandlesAndMore.com/custom page, you will see Lacey all dressed up as Underdog and see how great a candle would look with your picture!
Happy Halloween!
May all your wags be happy!
