Montana is one of the most expensive states to own a dog, which makes it even more important to take care of your furry friend. Independence Day is one of the most traumatic events for dogs.

The doorbell of trick-or-treaters visiting my house keeps ringing. Scary costumes and nighttime activities in the neighborhood can all affect your pet. Every time the doorbell rings, my dog reacts as if he’s being intruded. Here are some tips to keep your pet safe this upcoming Halloween season.
Make sure your pet is microchipped and registered through your veterinarian. If you don’t have a “chip” on, make sure you have a collar and tag on that night. Petco has a pet registry at Lovelost.com. You can post lost or found pets. Keep pets away from candy.
We learned the hard way about the effects of candy with our dog years ago using an abandoned Easter basket. The dog was fine, but certain candy can be deadly to animals. Now is a good time to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss options for keeping your pet safe for the upcoming Halloween holiday.
