🎃 Halloween can be downright frightening for pets—and not just because of the costumes!

In this episode of Doc Halligan's Collars and Cents!, veterinarian Dr. Karen “Doc” Halligan shares practical, potentially lifesaving tips to keep your dogs and cats safe while avoiding unnecessary emergency vet bills.

- Why Halloween candy, especially chocolate and products containing xylitol, can be dangerous for dogs.
- How to prevent frightened pets from escaping when trick-or-treaters arrive.
- Why every pet should wear proper identification, even indoors.
