Allie The Clown Shih Tzu
You’ve already seen a happier Allie in How A Costume Can Add Quality To Your Dog’s Life. She really wasn’t as downtrodden as she appears here, but this image serves to remind everyone that Halloween may not be the fun for dogs that it is for children and some adults.
Things dogs don’t usually like: breaking balloons and other loud noises associated with partying – and sometimes impaired – adults, costumes that hurt and children who are not respectful of their needs and limitations. One thing dogs – and other animals – may like, but is extremely dangerous for them to ingest is candy, particularly chocolate. Though some dogs have a higher tolerance for the stuff, please be mindful that it is listed as a poison for dogs and should not be offered to them.
Allie didn’t wear this costume other than to get her picture taken for a few minutes. But be aware that some costumes are uncomfortable for dogs to wear for longer periods.
Halloween can be fun for all, but as always, be aware of your companions’ needs and limitations. Have safe fun.
