Halloween Pet Safety

 The Pasadena Humane Society is urging pet owners to include 
their pets as they prepare for holiday festivities. Strangers in 
costumes, the repeated ringing of the doorbell and abundant 
sweets pose special challenges for many pets on Halloween night. 
Help keep your pets safe by considering the following:

Trick-or Treat: Trick-or-treating is for humans only. While 
it may be tempting to take Fido along for the candy hunt, rest 
assured they are best left at home. Strange costumes and lots of 
neighborhood activity might scare an otherwise calm dog.

Sweet Tooth: Keep candy out of your pet’s reach. All forms of 
chocolate can be toxic to cats and dogs. If your pet does ingest 
candy, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Canine Costumes: Costumes aren’t for everyone. If your pet wears 
a costume, remove dangling pieces that may be a hazard to them. 
If your pet does not like it, do not force it on him or her.

Safe Haven: The safest place for all pets on Halloween night is 
in your home. Keep your pet safe in the back room during peak 
trick-or-treating hours, or during parties, as the costumed visitors 
and loud noises can frighten them. Playing soothing music may 
help them stay calm. Walk your dog before the trick-or-treating 
starts and bring cats inside well before dark. If your dog is a door-
dasher, be sure to keep them safely confined in your home.

Identification: Make sure your pet is wearing a current ID tag and 
their microchip has up-to-date contact information. If your pet 
does get lost, please visit Pasadena Humane Society or your local 
animal shelter daily to look for him or her. Visit pasadenahumane.
org/adopt to see pictures of the animals in our care.

Keep your pets away from dangerous decorations: Be aware of 
which decorations pose threats. Some hazards are obvious, like lit 
candles (fire hazards and toxic to birds if scented).

Doorbell Damage Control: Excessive ringing of the doorbell 
can make some dogs bark and raise their stress levels. Consider 
leaving a note that asks trick-or-treaters to lightly knock.

“Halloween can be one of the scariest holidays for our pets,” said 
Jack Hagerman, Vice President of Communications at Pasadena 
Humane Society & SPCA. “Be sure to take precautions for your 
pets to ensure the entire family has a spook-tacular evening.”

In related new: Halloween Community Event: For two-legged 
family members, the Pasadena Humane Society is hosting Howlin’ 
Halloween on Sunday, October 28 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 
its Raymond Avenue location. Activities will include Halloween-
inspired crafts, trivia games with giveaways, candy, and more! 
Costumes are welcome, but please leave your pets at home.

 Different types of influenza 
viruses can spread through 
the community during 
flu season. The Centers 
for Disease Control and 
Prevention recommends 
that everyone ages 6 months 
and older get the vaccine 
annually to protect against 
the most common types of 
influenza viruses.

 “Everyone 6 months 
of age and older should 
receive a yearly flu vaccine, 
to protect against illness, 
missed work and school, 
and even hospitalization,” 
Pasadena Health Officer, 
Dr. Ying-Ying Goh said. 
“Even healthy children and 
adults can get very sick from 
influenza viruses.”

 High-risk groups 
susceptible to severe 
influenza complications 
include seniors ages 65 and 
older, pregnant women and 
people with chronic medical 
conditions such as asthma 
and diabetes, according to 
Dr. Goh.

 Vaccines will also be 
available at the PPHD Travel 
& Immunization Clinic. Call 
(626) 744-6121 for hours 
and availability.
