Share
Halloween is full of spooky fun for us, but for dogs it can be a stressful night of strange costumes, constant door knocks, and tempting treats that aren’t safe for them. With the right preparation, you can make sure your pup stays relaxed and happy while the ghosts and goblins are out and about.
Why Halloween Can Be Stressful for Dogs
- Noise and disruption – frequent door knocks, the doorbell ringing, excited visitors.
- Costumes and masks – unfamiliar appearances can confuse or frighten dogs.
- Dangerous treats – chocolate, sweets and raisins are toxic; wrappers can cause blockages.
- Unusual routines – late-night visitors and changes to the household flow.
Top Tips to Keep Your Dog Calm
- Create a safe retreat – set up a quiet room with their bed, toys, and calming background noise.
- Limit exposure – keep your dog away from the front door during trick-or-treat hours.
- Stick to routine – walk and feed your dog at the usual times before festivities begin.
- Keep human treats out of reach – chocolate, sweets and raisins are dangerous for dogs.
- Use natural calming support – supplements can help your dog relax without drowsiness.
