Fear-Free
Queenie’s Pets® promotes fear-free living for pets, which should extend through Halloween. The holiday, meant to instill fear in humans, can still be as scary as you anticipate - we promise. But don’t plan to take your pup on a stroll through a haunted forest! People dress in strange garments; humans and objects make disturbing sounds. Their homes are suddenly inundated with blow-up ghosts and fake cobwebs. There are sudden noises. Strange characters pop up from the ground and flash unexpected lights.
Put that pet costume back on the shelf!
To be clear, you can dress up like a cat, but please, don’t force your cats and dogs into costumes. They can’t appreciate the irony of being dressed up as a Minion or “Fidel Cattro”. So, to them, costumes are just itchy, constricting, and, frankly, often a punishment. You’ll never find pet costumes on the racks at Queenie’s Pets® retail store - a guaranteed Force-Free shop! Here are costume-free ways you can delight your pet:Buy a sweater!

Give them a treat!
Cats, dogs, and small mammals love a good treat. Take the time to stock up on some household favorites, paying particular attention to soothing toys. For dogs, a Hyper Pet Boredom Busters Bowl can be the perfect distraction to get through the hours of doorbell ringing. Cats may do best with a calming CBD balm massaged into their skin, such as KK Calm Balm. Stock up on some favorite low-calorie treats so you can provide ample positive reinforcement throughout the night. Try out these tasty snacks to help distract them in a fun and oh-so-Autumnal way: Fruitables by Skinny-mini: Soft, low-calorie training treat (or any time)! Tiki Cat Crunchers: Tiki Cat® Crunchers cat treats are grain-free, perfectly-sized, meaty treats for your carnivorous cat.Put down the leash!

Create a controlled context.
Dogs learn in context. In addition to scaring dogs, Halloween genuinely confuses them! Give them a more predictable environment to figure out. Puzzles activate your dogs’ reward center and can keep them engaged for an extended time. Outward Hound Dog Smart Puzzle My Intelligent Pets Medium Genius Classic Sudoku PuzzleCat Tips
