LA County warns pet owners to secure toxic treats, keep pets indoors, and use safety measures for Halloween.

As Halloween approaches, Los Angeles County animal officials urge pet owners to keep animals safe by securing toxic treats like chocolate and raisins, disposing of wrappers properly, and keeping pets indoors in quiet spaces to reduce stress from noise and crowds. Experts recommend microchipping, up-to-date ID tags, and avoiding costumes or decorations that pose choking or fire hazards. Electric candles and pet-safe treats are advised, and owners should monitor for anxiety signs.
