Keeping Your Dog or Cat Calm on the Spookiest Night of the Year

Halloween night might be all tricks and treats for us, but it can be a stressful one for pets.

If your dog or cat has completely lost it on Halloween night, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The door is opening and closing constantly, there’s new people with weird costumes, the noise outside is loud and the energy inside the house is high. 

Keep Your Dog Safe from the Spooks

It’s easy to see how our pets can easily become overwhelmed. Even the calmest pets might react unpredictably when they’re scared. Think bolting out the open door, nonstop barking, growling, or even biting… all out of fear.

To keep everyone safe, it’s best to separate your dog or cat from the front door activity altogether. Set them up in a quiet room with their bed, favorite toy, and some background noise like a sound machine, TV or music. It helps drown out the sounds of constant knocking and shouting at the door.

Calming the Chaos with CBD

If your dog tends to get anxious during holidays or loud events, this is the perfect time to bring in CBD support. I recommend CBD Dog Health or Hemp Heroes CBD or Earth Buddy Pet | The Best CBD & Natural Supplements for Dogs & Cats. All are high-quality, pet-safe options.

You can also use July 3rd, an herbal calming treat from CBD Dog Health that’s designed for stressful events like storms or fireworks. It works just as well for Halloween night. If your dog is super anxious, you can safely use both CBD oil and the July 3rd treats together for extra support.

Start giving them their calming supplements ahead of time—don’t wait until the first costume shows up at the door.


Gut Health Matters Too

Holidays can be unpredictable, so it’s smart to stay proactive with digestion as well. Add In Clover Optagest a few days before, during, and after Halloween to help your pup’s gut stay balanced. Stress affects the digestive system just like it does in humans, and this prebiotic enzyme blend keeps things running smoothly even when routines are disrupted.

Candy and Chocolate Dangers

Chocolate is toxic and the darker and higher in cacao it is, the more dangerous. If your dog does get into chocolate, act fast.

A must-have for every pet parent is Chocolate Detox, a supplement designed to support the liver and help your dog recover from accidental chocolate ingestion. It’s one of those “keep it in your medicine cabinet just in case” products.
