Halloween is almost upon us so the first thing to do is to
make sure is that our beloved pug is taken care during this holiday. There will be so much going on, so much
excitement and it is the beginning of many more events. First
of all, if you are going to dress your Pug up please make sure it is
appropriate dress for the weather. Pugs
overheat fast so between the costume and the weather make sure your pug will
stay cool and of course, have plenty of water available for them to stay
hydrated. Remember also to make sure the
costume does not restrict your pug or cause them any harm such as cutting or
rubbing into their skin for this may start to cause an infection and pain to
your pug. A fun comfortable appropriate
costume will help make sure you and your pug will have a nice evening of trick
and treating. If you are walking your
pug around while trick and treating with your children please be mindful all
the excitement, children, noises and such may be too much for your pug so use
caution. Some pugs may get too excited
or panic and get loose which could cause them to take off, get lost or
worse. So it may be best to leave them
at home. If you choose to walk them make
sure their lease and harness is secure, they are microchipped or have all their
dog tags on them, and if they are wearing a costume it is appropriate for your
area.  |

Second thing, the nights leading to and including Halloween is
a night for mischief and pranksters so please keep your pug inside where they
will be safe and secure. It is sad but
those mischievous youngsters and pranksters tend to act out more as Halloween
nears and with that they have a tendency to target our pets even if your pet is
in your own back yard, so again it is best to make sure they are safe and secure
in your home away from the pranksters.
Third, if you are handing out the candy make sure you are
careful to where your pug is at so they do not run out the door as it
opens. Be mindful of your pug as well as
your children. It is best to keep your
pug secure in a room or behind a fence, so they will not be able to get out
while you are handing out the candy.
Finally, when all the fun is over make sure the candy is up
and away from your curious pug. You do not want your pug to get into the candy
and eat it; this could cause your pug to become extremely ill, cause organ
damage or worse death. So please make
sure the candy is up and away from your pug.
As your children are going through, sorting their candy and of course,
eating some the best thing to do it give your pug a dog treat so they do not
feel left out or inclined to indulge themselves. 
Just a few reminders as the Holidays are just around the
corner. Happy Halloween to you and your
little two and four legged goblins.
