October is here, and that means pumpkin patches, spooky décor, and costumes galore. But while the season is full of fun for us humans, it can also bring a few hidden tricks for our four-legged friends. At Scoopy Doo Pros, we believe every pet deserves peace, love, and poop-free yards, and that also means keeping them safe when the ghosts and goblins come out to play.
Here are our top pet safety tips for a groovy and worry-free Halloween:
It’s no surprise that pets have a sweet tooth (or at least a curious nose) — but Halloween candy is not a treat for them.
Chocolate: Toxic to dogs and cats in even small amounts.
Xylitol: This sugar substitute found in sugar-free gum and candy is extremely dangerous for pets.
Wrappers: Foil and plastic can cause choking or digestive blockages.
👉 Keep candy bowls, trick-or-treat bags, and wrappers out of paw’s reach. A treat for you can be a dangerous trick for them!
We love a groovy pet costume as much as anyone, but safety and comfort come first.
Make sure costumes fit properly — nothing too tight, restrictive, or full of dangling parts they could chew.
Choose lightweight fabrics so pets don’t overheat.
If your pet looks stressed or tries to wiggle free, snap a quick pic and let them enjoy the party au naturel.
👉 Remember: a happy, comfortable pet is the best accessory to any Halloween costume.
Halloween means more folks out and about after dark. Keep your pets visible and safe with glow-in-the-dark or reflective gear:
Reflective collars, leashes, and harnesses.
Clip-on LED lights that attach to collars.
Glow sticks or light-up charms (pet-safe only).
👉 The brighter your buddy, the easier it is for cars and people to see them. Safety never goes out of style!
Halloween should be full of laughs, not emergency vet visits. By keeping sweets away, choosing safe costumes, and lighting up those nighttime walks, you’ll help your pets enjoy the season as much as you do.
