Keep Your Dog Calm When Trick-Or-Treaters Call

By , About.com GuideOctober 18, 2011

Follow me on:

Halloween is a fun time for kids as they hurry from house to house and collect bulging bags of treats. Unfortunately, it's not such a good holiday for nervous dogs. The constant parade of visitors can cause reactions like:

  • Restlessness
  • Drooling
  • Panting
  • Whimpering
  • Hyperactivity

If you want to help your dog and prefer not to use drugs, a natural product like Canine Calm mist (pictured below), which uses soothing aromatherapy, might ease the Halloween stress.

If your dog likes to get into the Halloween spirit, there are plenty of pup products, like costumes, collars, and toys, themed to the holiday for canine fun. Just be sure that your dog's costume includes an ID tag in case she escapes as you're passing out candy.
