๐๐พ PAWS AT HOMEโS SPOOKY SEASON โ DAY 25! ๐ป๐ธ๏ธ
๐ถ๐โโฌ THE SPOOKY SIDE OF PET BODY LANGUAGE! ๐
Halloween might be all about tricks, treats and things that go bump in the nightโฆ but can you tell when your furry friend is feeling a little spooked? ๐ฑ๐พ
Our pets canโt tell us when something is frightening them, but their body language can speak volumes! ๐
๐ถ DOGS โ SIGNS THEY MIGHT BE SPOOKED:
๐ป Tucking their tail between their legs
๐ Ears pinned back
๐ท๏ธ Excessive lip licking or yawning
๐พ Trembling, pacing or trying to hide
๐ Showing the whites of their eyes
๐ฑ CATS โ SIGNS THEY MIGHT BE SPOOKED:
๐ฆ Flattened ears
๐ป Puffing up their fur or tail
๐ Hissing, growling or hiding
๐โโฌ Crouching low to the ground
๐ Wide eyes and enlarged pupils
๐ HOW CAN YOU HELP?
๐ก Provide somewhere quiet and safe to retreat.
๐พ Never force interactions with unfamiliar people or Halloween decorations.
๐ Allow your pet to approach things at their own pace.
๐ Keep their usual routines as normal as possible.
โจ REMEMBER: A frightened pet isnโt being naughty. Theyโre communicating that something doesnโt feel right.
๐ฌ LETโS HEAR FROM YOU!
Does your pet have a funny little habit when something gives them a fright? ๐๐พ
