However, October 31 isn’t a good time for everyoneit can be incredibly stressful for pets.
Here’s what you should probably know.
Consider talking to your vet about the options before Halloween if your pet isn’t microchipped.
With so many unfamiliar people in the neighborhood fortrick-or-treating, pets are more vulnerable.
If you want your pet to wear their bee wings happily, introduce the outfit before Halloween rolls around.
Let them get comfortable wearing it for short periods and reward them with treats to build a positive association.
Even after adjusting to a costume, your pet might still show signs of being uncomfortable wearing something unfamiliar.
These unfamiliar objects will spark your pet’s interest and could cause a choking hazard.
