Who says you can’t dress up for Halloween if you’ve got four legs or feathers? If your pets are proud to live in Hawaii, show off their true colors on October 31 with aloha attire from The Pet Hale, the best pet store in Mililani, HI. If you do dress up your pets this Halloween, make sure you follow a few basic safety tips to keep your pets happy.

3 Halloween Safety Tips From Mililani’s Best Pet Store

1. Take Note Of Your Pet’s Reaction

Some pets love wearing clothes, others are indifferent, and still others are downright unhappy when donning anything other than the coat they were born with. Keep a close eye on your pet’s reaction when putting on their costume, and do not force apparel on pets that appear uncomfortable or anxious when wearing costumes.

2. Avoid Safety Hazards

Unfortunately, you cannot assume that just because something is designed for pets, it is totally safe. Make sure any pet costumes you purchase are only made of non-toxic materials. You should also avoid clothing that has buttons or other detailing that your pet might swallow, and skip any accessories that limit vision.

3. Supervise Your Pet At All Times

If your pet appears comfortable in the costume you purchased, you may be tempted to grant him or her as much freedom to roam as usual; however, you should never leave dressed-up pets alone. Their costume could snag on something, or they could get bored and might start chewing on it, which could lead to an intestinal obstruction.

At The Pet Hale, they know that pets are part of the family, and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t dress up your furry friends this Halloween as long as you follow the above safety tips.
