Celebrating Halloween Safely with Dogs!

How enjoyable is Halloween night for your dogs is debatable but it's certainly gained in popularity with one in five Australians expected to celebrate this year! 

If you just want a bit of harmless fun, we gathered thirteen of our favourite spooky themed accessories and treats to celebrate Halloween with your pooches!

Some Safety Tips

If you have kids and plan on trick-or-treating that night, beware the candy, sweets and chocolate lying around that could poison your pets! 

If you're having a party at home, this is stressful for your dogs as this interrupts their normal routine and they will prefer staying in their den, located in a quieter part of the house or the backyard... 

Always make sure your dog is wearing an ID tag as someone may forget to close the gate or the front door properly! And if you're into decorating the house, keep all decorations, electrical cords, spider webs and streamers well out of reach from your dogs as these are choking hazards or they may end up with an intestinal blockage.








This is the Halloween edition of the classic ZippyPaws Burrow toy. This model comes with three squeaky characters (or critters) that love to hide inside the burrow and play hide-and-seek with your dog!

Once the toys are placed inside the Haunted House (with Dracula, Ghost and Frankenstein's Monster) or Pumpkin (with 3 Bats), give the burrow a little squeeze to make the toys squeak: this will entice your dogs to pull out their play pals. 

These toys is best suited to small/medium dogs and moderate chewers if the kids don't steal them first!


RRP: $29.95 from www.luckypet.com.au
