Pets are like family and we love them being involved with most everything we do, but when it comes to celebrating Halloween, the Arizona Humane Society recommends keeping our four-legged friends safely at home.

Check out their full list of Halloween pet tips here and check out some highlights below:

- Confine cats and dogs to a secure room with food, water, toys, a litter box and bedding. Isolate them from the often frightening sights and sounds of trick-or-treaters.

- Not only can candy upset your pet’s digestive system, but chocolate can be toxic and fatal and must be kept out of reach.

- Your dog may be frightened by costumed children or other strangers he meets on the street. He could show aggressive behavior or escape a child’s grip, run away and/or dart into traffic.

- If your pet is frightened or uncomfortable, don’t make him wear a costume. Instead, consider dressing up your pet for photos, and then promptly remove the costume.
