Halloween for pets can be more trick than treats, but with a little planning and the right safety measures, we can help our fur babies stay safe this paw-lloween!
1. Monsters!
Well, at least the ones dressed up like monsters. We know that the ghost, zombie, or vampire behind the costume is really just a kid trying to score some Halloween treats, but our pets might not.
Reactive pets will need their owners to do a bit of planning for them. Time your daily walk and bathroom breaks before the festivities start, and if you do head out into the night, always have your pet on a leash – a firework, scary costume, or other Halloween thrill may send them running!
2. Halloween Candy
In the excitement of a Halloween candy haul, we can’t forget that these treats can seriously harm our pets. Chocolate, xylitol, and other common ingredients are poisonous for our fur babies no matter how much they want a taste, so keep pets away when you’re inspecting the kids’ haul and secure candy bowl in-between handing it out.
That doesn’t mean our pets have to miss out on the fun, though. You can make them a delicious and nutritious treat following our recipe below.
Halloween Treat Recipe For Cats And Dogs
3. Unsafe Costumes
Some pets love wearing clothes or costumes and even “ask” for them because they love the extra attention and showing off. However, other pets prefer to be au natural, and that’s okay too!
Here are our top tips for pets who will dress up for Halloween:
- Always supervise your pet while they wear a costume
- Ensure that the costume does not restrict their movement or breathing
- Pay attention to their body language. If they look distressed, remove the costume!
- Don’t assume that because a costume is sold for pets that it is safe. Avoid costumes that are too tight, obscure vision, or have dangling parts that could be a choking hazard.
If your fur kiddo isn’t into costumes, they can be a part of an iconic Halloween look if you dress up instead. For dogs, they could be Toto or Scooby, and cats could be Salem or Garfield, depending on their coloring – get creative with it!
4. Decorations During Halloween for Pets
Decorating is one of the best parts of Halloween, but there are definitely a few things pet parents should avoid!
Lit pumpkins or witchy candles can really set the vibe, but pets should never be around open flames unattended. And while fog and smoke machines create an incredible atmosphere, the smoke sits low and our little guys or gals will end up breathing it in. Likewise, dry ice looks amazing but can cause burns if our pets come in contact with them.
5. Scaredy-Cats (… and Dogs)
As much as we love Halloween, some pets just won’t. And fair enough! Strangers at the doors, loud and strange sounds, and the frights and scares at every corner can be a total sensory overload for some pets that cannot always be avoided.
NHV Matricalm or NHV Lesstress may help them regain their chill
For the scaredy-cats and scaredy-dogs outs there, NHV Matricalm or NHV Lesstress may help them regain their chill. This is especially important if they are known to flee when spooked, since the last thing you want to do is search for a missing pet during the Halloween chaos!
Both Matricalm and Lesstress may encourage calmness and relaxation with pet-safe herbs, but Matricalm is best for cats who may not agree with the taste of Lesstress.
Armed with these tips, your pet can have a Halloween that is more treats than tricks! Want to talk about your pet’s ongoing or situational anxiety, and how natural supports may help? Chat in with a pet expert below – we’d love to meet your little one and make personalized recommendations!

Holistic Support for Rescued Puppies and Kittens
Giving a rescued pet a second chance at life is a beautiful thing to do! So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
How NHV Supplements Provide A Comprehensive Adopted Puppy Kit and Kitten Kit
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.

- A natural calming remedy
- Contains mild (non-addictive) sedative properties
- Beneficial for reducing stress and anxiety in dogs and cats
- May reduce destructive and aggressive behavior
MULTI ESSENTIALS

Pet's Weight Dosage
To be taken twice daily. All NHV supplements are designed to be used together, and can, therefore, be given at once for convenience.
Select your pet's weight to determine the correct dose.
To be taken twice daily. (Each supplement) Determine your pet’s weight and then use the easy chart below to determine the correct dose. This is the minimum dosage.
Pet's Weight Dosage
0 - 15 lb = 0.5 ml
16 - 30 lb = 1.0 ml
31 - 45 lb = 1.5 ml
46 - 60 lb = 2.0 ml
61 - 75 lb = 2.5 ml
Over 75 lb = 3.0 ml
For small animals (rabbits, ferrets), avians and reptiles use 1 drop for every 2 lb of body weight.
Long term use: Feed recommended dosage every other day (1 day on 1 day off). If used in large dosages or over a long period of time it may become irritating to the stomach lining. Some pets may require a larger dosage due to their metabolism. You can safely double the recommended dosage.
How to Administer: Shake well before use. The easiest method is to use the dropper provided and place the drops into your pet’s food or favorite treat. You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth. Some pets can be finicky, if this occurs consider hiding the drops in foods most pet’s love such as fish, chicken or yogurt or a favourite treat. If your pet only eats dry food then soak a few kibbles at feeding time.
For Best Results: Herbal dietary supplements are beneficial to the health and well-being of your pet and are safe for long-term use. Every pet responds to natural herbal supplements differently, therefore it is important to be consistent and administer the product daily. Supplements generally take two to four weeks to take effect, however this will vary from one animal to the next.
Product Storage: All NHV Natural Pet Products are pure herbal extracts and contain no artificial additives, preservatives or coloring. Shelf life after opening is 6 months and must be refrigerated after opening.
Cautions and Contraindications: Do not use Yucca in pregnant or nursing animals. Allowing breaks in feeding helps alleviate the possibility of a irritating effect on the digestive tract. Speak to your vet before using our products. A second visit is recommended if your pet’s condition does not improve, or deteriorates after continued use of the supplements.
