Be sure to be prepared when it comes to the safety of your pets. Make sure they are either micro chipped or have tags on them. This is one of the busiest times for rescue shelters and animal hospitals. If your dog is scared of the noise, use a fan or turn the volume up on your TV or stereo, make some kind of white noise to drown out the boomers.
Most of we here at Pawcific NW Petsitting want to wish you a safe and fun filled holiday weekend.

With Halloween just around the corner, there are a few things you need to be aware of to keep your pets safe, sound and happy.
- First remember that dogs don’t know that those little wrapped packages of candy are not for them. Keep out of reach, Chocolate can be lethal for some dogs and wrappers or hard objects, such as lollipop sticks can cause choking hazards.
- If you have lighted pumpkins or those little sacks with candles in them, keep your dogs well away. One strong wag of the tail can cause these lighted Halloween decorations to tip and possibly cause a fire hazard.
- If your pet is anxious or frightened easily by loud noises or strangers, try keeping them in a seperate room and well away from the door.
- If your pet has to be part of Halloween and the dress finery, be sure that the costume they are wearing doe not pose a choking hazard, block their air passages or tempararily blind them.
- If your pet does dash out the door unexpectedly, be sure to have proper indentification tags on their collar. If they are chipped, be sure their information is up to date.
