"Trick or treat, I'm Matt Cail on behalf of Expert Village I'm here today to show you how to prepare for treat or treaters. Something else to think about for Halloween is in case if you have pets to make sure they both, your kitty's and doggy's come through Halloween not being upset by trick or treaters. Like many other observance throughout the year Halloween can be hard on your pets. They don't understand trick or treating or any type of observance related to Halloween. In some situations they can proof quit of upsetting to them for instance, cats can be upset by changes in their environment having a bunch of strangers coming to the door or having people dressed up in costumes even if it's their own owners can proof upsetting to the animal. And they can exhibit behavior such as being skittish, clawing, prancing and otherwise being stressed out. Dogs aren't much better, dogs can be very territorial which can be an issue whenever you have strangers coming to your door. Dogs can bark, growl or otherwise want to bite trick or treaters. So something to keep in mind is to make sure that your animals are safely put off to the side, put to bed early or even cradled if needed to be. To make sure they are kept away from the front door you don't want your animals upset and you don't want animals that are running up to the door every single time trick or treaters come either."
