Halloween is No Treat for Pets!

People may find it deliciously fun to be scared – but your pets do not!

Doorbells ringing, kids screaming, and strangers in costumes can be stressful for your dog or cat.

This Halloween, please keep the following in mind so your whole family can have a good holiday:

1) Don’t leave your pets outside on Halloween, and be sure they do not dart out through an open door. Shy pets should be kept in a separate room when trick-or-treaters visit.

2) Make sure your dogs and cats are wearing up-to-date and legible identification, just in case they do get out. The Placer SPCA strongly advises that all dogs and cats be microchipped, and offers microchip implants for only $20 during all business hours, or $15 during monthly microchip clinics.

3) Keep candy away from your pets. Chocolate in particular is poisonous to dogs, and all candy, not to mention foil and cellophane wrappers, are terrible for pets.

4) Be careful around lit pumpkins. Your curious kitten or puppy might be interested in it, and pets can knock them over.

5) Pet costumes can be adorable, but be sure your pet has the temperament for it. Costumes should not be constricting, cause your pets to trip, or obstruct their vision. If you do dress them up, monitor their stress and irritation levels and remove the costumes if they seem agitated.

If you have questions regarding animal care and behavior, please contact the Placer SPCA at (916) 782-7722 or (530) 885-7387 or visit placerspca.org.

Let's Celebrate Our Inner Bull

As part of a campaign to bring awareness and education about Pit Bull’s to the general public, Placer SPCA is offering a Pit Bull Education Class on Saturday, October 26, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., at Placer SPCA Roseville Companion Animal Care Center (150 Corporation Yard Road, Roseville).

This class will discuss the history of the breed, characteristics, breed tips and common myths associated with the Pit Bull breed. Reservations are required; please contact (916) 782-7722 ext 103 to register.

For the month of October, Placer SPCA is reducing adoption fees by 50% for all Pit Bull / Pit Bull mixes. If you are considering adopting a dog into your family, please consider adopting a Pit Bull!

A well-bred, well-socialized and well-trained pit bull is one of the most delightful, intelligent and gentle dogs imaginable. In fact, they once held the nickname the “nursemaid’s dog” because they were so reliable with young children. Some of the most famous dogs in American history were pit bulls, including Stubby a decorated World War I war hero, among many others.

Today, Pit Bulls work as therapy dogs, visiting nursing homes; as protection or sentry dogs for the police; and U.S. customs dogs, working in narcotics and explosives detection. Some even work in search and rescue, including a trio from Sacramento that worked tirelessly at the World Trade Center during the aftermath of 9/11.

The majority are cherished family members, who have become very attached to their people, loving nothing more than cuddling on the couch or sleeping in bed with their pet parents. All dogs adopted from Placer SPCA have been spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated and tested for heartworm. All adopters receive a voucher for a free veterinary exam.

For more information about Pit Bulls or the programs and services offered by Placer SPCA, please call (916) 782-7722, ext. 200 or (530) 885-7387 ext. 200, or visit placerspca.org/PitbullAwareness.
