Halloween at Hounds Town: A Safe & Fun Way for Your Dog to Celebrate
Halloween may be full of tricks and treats for people, but for dogs, it can also bring stress, overstimulation, and safety hazards. Between ringing doorbells, chocolate candy everywhere, and strangers in costumes, October 31st can be overwhelming for pups, causing them to have adverse reactions or unwanted behaviors.
Hounds Town’s dog daycare and dog boarding is the perfect Halloween solution for pet parents who want peace of mind. Plus, many Hounds Town locations throw a dog Halloween party for their townies—your pup can have fun on Halloween, too! Instead of leaving your dog stressed at home, you can give them social and fun time with their pack.
A Break from Doorbells and Door Dashing
At home on Halloween, the doorbell rings nonstop. That constant noise, along with excited trick-or-treaters, can trigger anxiety or unwanted behavior in your dog:
- Barking at the door
- Jumping on visitors
- Attempting to run outside
- Pacing or hiding
At Hounds Town, your dog won’t need to worry about doorbells or unexpected guests. Instead, they’ll enjoy dog daycare with their pack and expertly trained staff who understand dog behavior and pack psychology. It’s a calm alternative to the chaos at home during the holiday, and a great way to maintain dog Halloween safety.
Avoiding Chocolate & Candy Hazards
Aside from the chaos that Halloween brings at the front door, candy is another major risk for dogs on the holiday. Here’s why:
- Chocolate is toxic to dogs (but beloved by trick-or-treaters)
- Xylitol, a sweetener in gum and treats, can be deadly to your dog
- Candy wrappers and decorations can cause digestive blockages
Between party setups and curious pups, things can get risky. Dog boarding or daycare at Hounds Town keeps your dog safely away from dangerous treats and holiday hazards while still giving them a fun-filled Halloween.
Dogs Deserve a Fun Halloween, Too
Just because you send your pup to Hounds Town for dog boarding or dog daycare on Halloween doesn’t mean they are being left out! Many Hounds Town locations host “pawties” for the pups, so you can rest assured that your furry friend is having a good time with their pack. Costumes are always optional!
Sending your dog to Hounds Town on Halloween means they’ll have access to all-day play in climate-controlled playrooms, pack socialization that will make them calmer when they’re at home, and a safe space away from potential dangers on the holiday.
