BOSTON (WHDH) - Doctors are sharing advice to ensure a fun and safe holiday for both kids and pets.
Doctors suggest:
- Start trick or treating during the daylight
- Wear light or reflective costumes at night
- Carry a flashlight
- Make sure children can see clearly through their costumes
Experts advise those who have pets to:
- Call the vet or poison control if your dog gets into the candy; chocolate can be dangerous for dogs
- Consider installing a baby gate to keep pets from running out as trick-or-treaters come to the door
- For those who choose to dress up their pets, make sure the costume doesn’t restrict breathing or vision
The dogs featured in festive costumes are a few of the many who are up for adoption by the MSPCA.
