Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center & Urgent Care

Halloween is probably the most fun holiday to decorate for - you can really unleash your creativity! And who doesn't love a spooky, Gothic decor? Here are a few tips to help keep your pet's safety in mind while decorating:

Be cautious when using candles. Pets can easily knock over a lit pumpkin and cause a fire. Curious kittens especially run the risk of being burned or singed by candle flames.
Keep wires and cords from electric lights and decorations out of reach to avoid electrical shock. Puppies especially love to chew cords.
Pumpkins and squashes are not necessarily toxic to pets but can cause stomach upset if digested.
