keep your pets this Halloween

While you trick or treat with your children this Halloween be sure to maintain track of your pets. If your pet puts on a costume make sure it's flame retardant and fits properly. Honey Creek Animal Hospital in Terre Haute also reminds pet owners to keep candy out of reach. Milk chocolate is the least harmful to dogs, but the darker the chocolate the inferior your pet could feel. If they do consume it, be sure to look for the warning signs like vomiting or diarrhea.

"Sometimes you'll have seizures, tremors, elevated heart rate, usually when you start considering those symptoms it's a good idea to take to your veterinarian as quickly as possible," Honey Creek Animal Hospital Greg Reilly said. People who own a black cat also need to keep a watchful eye. Some people are known to afflict these animals during this time of year. If you see an unsual activity involving animals this Halloween call you local police department.
