Announcing The Magic Zoo Halloween photo contest winner!
Paws For Reaction mascot and my baby girl Keira is one
lucky girl- she just won a Halloween Photo Contest held by The Magic Zoo! The
Magic Zoo sells beautiful “handcrafted jewelry for animal lovers.” Miss Keira
was wearing her adorable witch hat to match my witch costume and she got to
visit with every family that came trick-or-treating. She was pretty proud of
her costume and how great she was as at welcoming the kids so when I told her
she won the contest she was pretty excited!

The neighborhood is getting spookier as Halloween crawls closer and closer. Horrific decorations adorn festive homes while they search for the best costume continues. Little do pet parents know the candy and décor of Halloween could end up being dangerous for household pets.
Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI) released its Top Halloween PetDangers and Safety Tips on Oct. 15 to help educate pet parents about how this scary holiday could negatively affect their pet. VPI reports that in the United States alone consumers spend $7 billion on Halloween candy, decorations, and costumes. Unfortunately having all of these seemingly benign holiday objects in the home means that consumers could be exposing their pets to toxic or hazardous things.
