Trick or Treat?

Welfare

Should you dress up your pet?

Dressing up your pet for Halloween can seem funny, but is it kind? Here’s 3 questions to check in with whenever you put clothes on your cat or dog.

1. Can they move properly?

2. Can they still communicate? Dogs need at least ears, eyes and tails in view and free to move to ‘talk’ to other dogs.

3. Is your pet stressed? Signs of stress in cats include grooming themselves and making more noise than usual. Signs in dogs include licking their lips, yawning or panting.

 

Most pets will not enjoy being dressed up, so this Halloween keep the costumes on you!
