Monday Pet Tip: Halloween Decorations

Halloween is probably the most fun holiday to decorate for - you can really unleash your creativity! And who doesn't love a spooky, Gothic decor? Here are a few tips to help keep your pet's safety in mind while decorating:

• Be cautious when using candles. Pets can easily knock over a lit pumpkin and cause a fire. Curious kittens especially run the risk of being burned or singed by candle flames.

• Keep wires and cords from electric lights and decorations out of reach to avoid electrical shock. Puppies especially love to chew cords.

• Pumpkins and squashes are not necessarily toxic to pets but can cause stomach upset if digested.
