Halloween trick-or-treating is an exciting time for kids but it can also be a distressing time for our pets. Each year in Ireland, veterinary practices around the country are inundated with wounded from fireworks and bonfires. Animals become so terrified from the noise of bangers and fireworks going off near their homes that drives them to extreme behavior.
The ISPCA recommends you should always have helpful pet identification such as an ID tag on your pets collar and a micro-chip in the event your pet escapes. Unfortunately stray animals bear the impact of Halloween pranks and many defenseless animals are tortured each year by Halloween louts. If you witness an animal being subjected to cruel treatment, please notify your local Gardai and contact the ISPCA National Animal Cruelty Helpline on 1890 515 515. Please help us stop the mistreatment of innocent animals. Take precautions to ensure your pets stay safe, calm and remain indoors this Halloween. With a little caution, Halloween can be a safe and enjoyable time for everyone.
