When the leaves begin to turn colors and pumpkins begin appearing on neighborhood porches, you know that Halloween is just around the corner. While spooky season is a fun time of the year for many people, it can also become a little too scary for pets if owners don’t take precautions.
Dr. Erin Ray, a clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS), and Dr. Lori Teller, a VMBS clinical professor, share their veterinary advice for keeping pets safe at Halloween to help pet owners best celebrate the spooky season with their furry friends.
One of the most iconic parts of Halloween is the food, including candy and party snacks like popcorn balls and caramel-covered apples. Because these foods are abundant at this time of year, pet owners should pay close attention to what treats their animals indulge in.
