- Holiday Hazards: Keep harmful foods, decorations, and tree ornaments out of reach.

Fall & Halloween Dog Safety Tips from Camp Bow Wow Towson
As the crisp fall air rolls in, we know how exciting the season can be – from beautiful foliage to fun Halloween celebrations. But while you're preparing for the seasonal festivities, it's important to remember that autumn can also bring some unique challenges when it comes to your dog's safety. Here are a few tips to keep your furry friends happy and healthy this fall:
1. Beware of Toxic Treats
Halloween brings plenty of candy, but many sweets can be harmful to dogs. Chocolate, artificial sweeteners like xylitol, and raisins are dangerous and even life-threatening if ingested. Keep all candy out of your dog’s reach, and ensure they have their own dog-safe treats to enjoy while the trick-or-treaters come around.
2. Stay Visible on Walks
As days get shorter, you'll likely find yourself walking your dog in the dark more often. Make sure your pup is visible by using reflective gear, LED collars, or glow-in-the-dark leashes. This will keep both you and your dog safe from traffic and help you keep track of them in low-light conditions.
3. Leaf Piles Hide Hazards
Jumping in piles of leaves is one of the best parts of fall for kids and dogs alike! However, leaf piles can also harbor hidden dangers, such as sharp objects, mold, and ticks. Always check the area before letting your dog romp through those crunchy leaves.
4. Costume Comfort
Dressing your dog up for Halloween? While costumes can be adorable, they should never restrict your dog's movement, breathing, or visibility. Always check for signs of discomfort or anxiety when your dog is in costume, and if they seem unhappy, opt for a simple festive bandana or collar instead.
5. Trick-or-Treating Safety
The constant doorbell ringing and strangers in costumes can be stressful for dogs. If your dog tends to get anxious or over-excited, it's a good idea to keep them in a quiet room away from the commotion during trick-or-treating hours. You can also bring them to Camp Bow Wow Towson, where they can enjoy a safe, fun environment while you handle the trick-or-treaters.
6. Cold Weather Prep
With cooler temperatures on the horizon, make sure your dog is ready. Short-haired breeds may need a sweater or jacket to stay warm during walks. Additionally, check your dog's paws for cracks or dryness, which can worsen as temperatures drop.
Need a Safe Place for Your Pup This Halloween?
If you're looking for a fun and safe place for your dog during trick-or-treat time, give us a call at 410-DOG-4000 for your daycare or boarding needs! At Camp Bow Wow Towson, we offer a fun-filled environment where your pup can play, relax, and enjoy the festivities safely, away from the Halloween chaos.
Stay safe this fall, and we look forward to seeing your furry friend at camp soon!
