Is your pet anxious about Halloween?

Halloween is a fun, inherently Irish season for children and adults alike to decorate homes, dress up as ghoulish characters and get in touch with their spooky side! Our pets, however, don’t often see it that way. Costumes, fireworks and trick or treaters are scary for them but not in an amusing way. Older animals especially can become so stressed out with changes to their routine or external environment that they become ill.

Luckily, there are measures we can put in place to make sure our furry friends are happy and anxiety free heading into the Halloween season.
