Tips for Halloween Costume Safety
Keep in mind that not all pets enjoy or feel comfortable being dressed up. A costume can feel constricting and scary to a pet. Not the fun kind of Halloween scary either. Here are some recommendations for a safer experience for your pet.
- If your pet is uncomfortable with the costume, take it off immediately. You may just choose to don a festive Halloween themed bandana instead.
- Avoid costumes with small bits, string, and buttons, since this can present a choking obstruction hazard.
- Make sure the costume allows them to breathe normally and they can move freely.
- Choose lightweight and simple costumes, unless your pet is a costume pro.
- Never leave your pet unattended in their costume.
