While Halloween is something that many families look forward to and enjoy, it is a holiday fraught with potential problems for dogs. “What costumes to wear? Who will take the children around the neighborhood? What candy to hand out?” For most families, these are some of the usual and fun questions that come up around this fun holiday. Another question is “How is the poor dog going to react?” or “What happens if the dog freaks out with the onslaught of kids and costumes?” These are important questions and something to think about before it’s too late.
