October already! And while we’re wondering what happened to the rest of the year, Halloween is almost upon us. Which means it’s that time of the year again – trick-or-treating, ghostly gatherings, dressing-up dilemmas, and all sorts of ghoulish goodies in the shops.
Autumn already!
And with October 31st just around the corner, it can mean only one thing… Pumpkins!
40 million of the orange icons will leave supermarket shelves in the weeks before Halloween.
But when it comes to our pets, are these orange icons ‘Ghastly gourds’ or ‘Superhero superfoods’?
Because whether it’s purloining peel, snaffling seeds or raiding the ready-meal-with-a-face (conveniently left out on the doorstep), many dogs (and more than a few cats) are going to be carving out some pumpkin panics for pet parents over Halloween.
Autumn can be a beautiful time of the year, but it is important to be aware of the dangers for our dogs and cats during these months.
Some of these risks are mild, such as skin allergies or certain parasites. Others can be more serious, such as eating poisonous plants or severe stress due to fireworks.
