Look for a Safe Halloween Costume for Your Dog

Although the safest activity for your dog on Halloween night is a nap at home, if you decide to dress your dog in a costume make sure it’s a safe one. Be sure there’s nothing he can chew and choke on. Make sure the costume is not too tight, constricting his breathing.

Also, be sure he’s not getting overheated. Finally, reflective surfaces are excellent; although you plan to keep your dog with you at all times, many dogs get loose on Halloween night due to all the excitement. If you are chasing after your dog in the dark, reflective costumes will be the safest for him.
