Halloween is a popular holiday across the U.S. and especially in Alexandria where pets can be seen trick or treating up and down King street at local merchants. It can also be a stressful and even a dangerous holiday for pets. Awareness and planning will help your pets stay safe. Share these easy tips with your pet sitting service provider:
Keep candy and goodies out of reach. Keep pets away from candy bowls to avoid accidental ingestion of chocolate, which can be toxic to dogs and cats. Also beware of candy wrappers, which can be hazardous if swallowed.
Be careful with costumes. Only dress-up your pet if he is receptive to it. If he isn’t happy, take it off. Masks can cut off peripheral vision, making a dog or cat nervous. Even the best behaved dog or cat can get upset when he can’t see what’s coming from the side. Inspect the costume and remove any small or dangling pieces that could become a choking hazard.
Make sure candles are out of reach. Even if you think your pet won’t get at the candles, they can be knocked over, and tails & fur can quickly ignite. Use a safety glowstick or flashlight instead.
Keep pets inside in a safe room of your house. Keep pets inside in a closed room, or use a gate to contain them so they don’t run out when you open the door to trick-or-treaters. Give your pets toys or treats to keep them occupied. Better yet, greet trick-or-treaters outside to avoid excessive knocking.
Walking your dog. Make sure the dog can’t back out of his collar. Your dog may get nervous seeing the unusual costumes. Put a harness on your dog if you can. Verify these instructions with your pet sitting service provider if they come during this time.

Most pet lovers are familiar with the need to transport their pet from one location to another, such as to the vet or to another home. This kind of pet transport is usually done by placing the pet in a cage in the car, or teaching it to ride on the back seat. Some people even have a van with a special compartment for their pets, such as show dogs. The dogs can then be transported to shows and back home again with the minimum of fuss.
But what happens when pet relocation has to be international? There are special laws in each country governing and often restricting the entry of pets such as dogs and cats. Often the pet has to go into quarantine to ensure it has no diseases that could be brought from its country of origin. Additionally, International pet transport often involves flying and this is something quite foreign to most animals. Not only that, but airlines have strict protocol governing the transport of pets; you cannot just book an extra seat on the airplane and march aboard with your pet. Nor can it go into the hold with all the rest of the luggage.
The best way to transport a beloved pet for long distances is to book it in with a dedicated organisation such as Pet Transport Australia that knows all the ins and outs of getting pets to their destination safely and in good condition. Not only can they get your pet to an interstate destination with no fuss, they know all the rules and regulations of most countries for pet transport via air or sea and so can facilitate an international journey much more easily.
When you have to move yourself and your family and belonging across vast distances, having your pet taken care of by professionals means one less hassle and worry for you.
