A vet has spoken out on the dangers of creating DIY Halloween costumes for pets as searches for making your own rise
People are being warned of the dangers that come with making their own Halloween costumes for their pets. As fun as it may be to get your furry-friend to join in with spooky celebrations, it could end up causing more harm than good.
What are the dangers of dyeing a dog’s fur? Dr Foreman says: "I personally do not agree with painting, dying or otherwise colouring a pet’s fur. There is no situation where dying a pet’s fur is benefiting the animal themselves – it is purely benefiting us for aesthetic purposes."Dangers of creating a DIY pet costumes from scratch "Premade animal costumes usually must pass some form of safety testing before being sold, DIY costumes are not," the vet claims.
"Pets may also injure themselves trying to get out of clothing – for example, cats and dogs can get neckwear stuck in their mouth, which can cause jaw and tooth injuries, they can seriously injure a limb or their head if they get a leg stuck in a costume and lose their balance." "Looking at the ‘ladder of aggression’, they may start by licking their nose or lips, yawning and turning away, but this can turn quickly into growling, snapping and biting. Owners tend not to be attuned to these early signs of distress, which is why many animals have to resort to the later signs to get the message across."
