Halloween is meant to be a fun and exciting holiday, especially for kids, but for your pets it could be very stressful.
Quincy Veterinarian Dr. Bob Reich says to keep pets from feeling anxious, give your pet a small treat each time someone rings the doorbell.
That way, he says, your pet may look forward to trick or treaters coming to the door instead of dreading it.
?Reich says?be sure?to keep chocolate out of your pets reach as well.
"Pets are moderately poisoned by chocolate. Dark chocolate is worse than milk chocolate. But they'll get in and they'll eat the whole thing of chocolate, and we see this for 2-3 days, so make sure you keep the chocolate out of your pets reach," said Reich.
When choosing a costume for your pet, Reich recommends choosing carefully and removing costume pieces that could be choking hazards or cause vision impairment by blocking your pet's full view.
"Make sure any costume your pet will wear fits properly: leg holes in the wrong places can result in pulled muscles? and costumes that cover up too much can result in elimination (bathroom) concerns." he adds.
Reich says this time of year chocolate poisoning is very common, so keep all candy high up off the floor so your pet can't get into it.
