Cause acute kidney failure in dogs. Common in trick-or-treat mix.

Foreign body obstruction risk; often need surgery.

Bitter-tasting fluid causes drooling and mouth foaming (rarely fatal but distressing).

Never leave a costumed pet unsupervised. Check nothing restricts breathing, vision, or movement.

Trick-or-treaters mean constant door opening — biggest cause of lost pets on Halloween.

Curious tails and paws can knock over open flames.
