Candy, costumes, and trick-or-treaters are around the corner. Halloween can be a great time to include your pet in the festivities, but it also poses some dangers for your furry friend. Here are four tips to help your pet have a safe and fun Oct. 31st.
As someone who cares about animals, you can imagine how distressing it is to be separated from a beloved pet. Not only is it a stressful time for the owner but a terrifying and dangerous time for the pet. There are vehicles, predators and no food, water or shelter from the elements.
Yes that’s right, animals such as dogs, cats, and ferrets can feel pain. And unlike humans, pets can’t tell us if they’re in pain.

The first step to identifying pain, is knowing what to look for.
