Halloween Safety To make your Halloween less scary for your pet, follow these five tips from the Humane Society of the United States: Eat your own treats. Candy, especially chocolate, poses a serious threat to pets. Give safe, nutritious pet-treats instead. Avoid costumes for your pet. Pets dislike confining clothes and masks. Rubber bands cut into skin, pull hair, and can rub the skin raw causing pain. Keep your pet inside. Halloween pranksters sometimes target pets, even in fenced backyards. Don't take your pet trick-or-treating; it may become overexcited and break loose or bite. Be sure your pet wears a collar with ID in case it slips out of the house while you distribute goodies. Play keep-away. Prevent access to seasonal decorations such as candles and jack-o-lanterns with open flames or streamers that could entangle or choke your pet.
