Halloween can be a frightful time for pets, especially with all the spooky sounds and sights. If your dog shows signs of distress, such as trembling, hiding, or trying to escape, it’s essential to address their fears head-on!

Many dogs develop anxieties due to past negative experiences, like fireworks or storms. For those with moderate to severe reactions, traditional desensitisation might not be enough. Instead, pop into Petstop and check out their range of calming products designed to help your pet relax during spooky season.

5 Steps to Help Your Pet Cope:

  1. Create a Safe Space: Set up a cosy den by closing curtains and playing soothing background noise. Cover their crate or bed with blankets, and don’t forget to add a calming spray!
  2. Have Treats Ready: Stock up on high value treats to reassure your pup when they’re feeling anxious.
  3. Keep Them Entertained: Engage your dog with toys or a lick mat to help soothe their nerves.
  4. Comfort Your Pet: Don’t shy away from offering comfort. Emotional support helps your furry friend feel safe.
  5. Be Prepared: Incorporate calming products into their routine ahead of Halloween to ease their anxiety.

With these tips, you can ensure a spook-tacular and stress-free Halloween for your pet!
