Trick or treaters may make your pets nervous or anxious due to the increase in noise, decorations and unfamiliar people. Ensure your pets are kept safe in a separate room during peak activity hours. If you decide to dress your pet for the occasion, here’s a few safety tips to keep in mind:
1) Ensure pet costumes don’t impair their vision, movement or air intake.
2) Avoid costumes that have small choke hazards.
3) Avoid dying your pet’s fur. Even if it’s labelled as non-toxic to humans, it may still be harmful to your pet.
Pet parents, do you own THAT dog? A smile for your Monday. 😆🐾

Halloween is approaching. This can be a fun time for excitement and overindulgence. But if pets accidentally ingest candy or décor, it can quickly become a real horror. Here’s a few items to make sure your pets avoid:
🍫 Chocolate is toxic to cats and dogs.
🍬 Candy is high in sugar and fat and can lead to pancreatitis. Also watch out for candy wrappers.
🍇 Grapes and raisins are extremely poisonous and can cause kidney failure.
🕯 Lit pumpkins with candles can burn curious pets.
If your think your pet has ingested any of these items, call your veterinarian and watch for any unusual symptoms. We're here for you after hours, weekends, and holidays.

What Is An Emergency? | Emergency Animal Hospitals of Collin County
Would you be prepared if you had to evacuate during a disaster? It’s important to have a pet preparedness plan and emergency kit in place.
➖ Make a Pet Evacuation Plan to know where to go in an emergency: vet’s office, local animal shelters, pet-friendly hotels, boarding facilities, or trusted relative and friend’s houses.
➖ Pet Emergency Kit Checklist: bottled water, pet food, blankets, leash, collar, harness, pet life jacket, flashlight, basic pet first aid kit, your pet’s medical records, vet’s contact info, medications, photos of your pet.
Make sure to keep your pet information current and supplies stocked!
A key ingredient found in antifreeze is ethylene glycol which is highly toxic and affects the nervous system and kidneys. Unfortunately, it has a sweet taste which can be enticing to your pet with only a small amount being fatal.
➖ Where ethylene glycol is found: base of portable basketball hoops, toilets, printer and pen ink, eye masks, snow globes.
➖ Signs your pet has ingested antifreeze: unsteadiness on their feet, vomiting, depression, increase in thirst and urination, loss of appetite, seizures.
If you think your pet has ingested antifreeze, take them to a veterinary hospital for immediate medical treatment.
