🎃 Halloween Is Fun for Us — But Frightful for Our Pets!

Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year for families — costumes, candy, and spooky fun!
But for our pets, it can be confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes even dangerous.
At Korna Pet, we love celebrating holidays just as much as you do, but we also know that preparation is key to keeping your furry family members calm and safe during all the festivities.

👻 Why Halloween Can Be Stressful for Pets

While we humans enjoy the thrill of Halloween, pets often see it very differently.
Think about it from their perspective —

• Too many strangers knocking or ringing the doorbell.

• Unfamiliar costumes and scents.

• Noisy fireworks and loud party sounds outside.

• Tempting but toxic treats like chocolate, candy, and raisins.

All these things can make even the most confident dogs or cats feel anxious, scared, or disoriented.

🏠 Create a Safe Space

If you know your pet is sensitive to noise or new visitors, start by creating a calm retreat in your home.
Train your dog or cat to feel comfortable in a quiet space — whether that’s a crate, a separate room, or a cozy corner.

• Keep curtains closed to block flashing lights or movement.

• Play soft music or white noise to mask the sounds of fireworks and doorbells.

• Make sure they have their favorite toys, blanket, or chew close by for comfort.

A familiar scent and a quiet environment can make all the difference.

💊 Calm Their Nerves (Naturally!)

Every pet handles stress differently, and sometimes they need a little extra help.

• CBD supplements can help some sensitive pets relax naturally — ask our team about products that are safe and veterinarian-approved.

• ThunderShirts or snug wraps work wonders for dogs who feel calmer with gentle, constant pressure.

• For mild anxiety, try giving a long-lasting chew to keep them distracted and content.

🚪 Manage Trick-or-Treat Traffic

The constant sound of the doorbell can drive pets wild.
To minimize their stress:

• Leave a bowl of treats outside with a friendly sign that says “Please don’t knock — pets resting inside.”

• Keep your pet away from the front door to prevent accidental escapes.

• Always make sure they’re wearing ID tags or have an updated microchip, just in case.

🍫 Keep Dangerous Treats Out of Reach

Halloween candy is a delicious treat for humans but a serious hazard for pets.

• Chocolate, especially dark or baking chocolate, is toxic to dogs and cats.

• Xylitol, a common sugar substitute, can cause dangerous drops in blood sugar.

• Candy wrappers can cause choking or intestinal blockages.

If you think your pet has eaten something unsafe, contact your vet immediately.

💡 Bonus Tips for a Smooth Halloween Night

• Give your pet a long walk or play session before the festivities start. A tired pet is a calm pet!

• Keep candles and decorations out of reach — wagging tails and curious cats can knock them over easily.

• Never force your pet into a costume if they seem uncomfortable. A simple festive bandana often works better!
