TORONTO, Oct. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - The second annual Pet Safety Week has begun! This year, Pet Safety Week is October 20 - 26. And to get the conversation started, Toronto Hydro-Electric System Limited ("Toronto Hydro") and the Toronto Humane Society have their top picks for 'Howloween' costumes and safety tips for furry friends.
Halloween is a fun time for the entire family; make sure your pets are safe too.
Indoors:
Outdoors:
There are many hazards that pet owners may not be aware of. From poisonous plants to dangling electric cords, bored cats and dogs are more likely to find ways to get into trouble. There are few resources available for new and seasoned pet owners on overall safety. Pet Safety Week is a reminder for pet owners to stay safe year-round.
