Last Minute Halloween Tips
Last week, I offered some safety tips for Halloween, but now that the big day has arrived, here are a couple more--especially if you want them to wear costumes.
It’s best to gradually introduce them to it a little at a time. For instance, set the costume out on the floor for the first day. Let the pet sniff it thoroughly. The next day, drape it over his back for only a moment, and perhaps offer a treat. Associate GOOD THINGS with the costume. And please, don’t force your pet to wear something, especially if they feel uncomfortable or frightened. Some pets become quite upset, and that’s simply not fun for the pet and shouldn’t be funny for a caring owner, either.
There are some pets that enjoy or at least tolerate costumes. Just for fun, take a look at the YouTube examples of both dogs and cats strutting their stuff.
