万圣节带宠物出门与留守注意事项：糖果、装饰与开门迎客的安全清单
万圣节临近，家中有宠物的居民在布置与迎客时有几处常见风险。巧克力与含木糖醇（xylitol）的无糖糖果对犬猫有毒，应放在宠物够不到的地方；南瓜灯内的蜡烛与电线装饰也可能造成烫伤或误食，电池与发光棒同样需要收好。
10月31日晚讨糖活动期间，频繁开门容易让受惊的宠物冲出门外。做法上，可在开门迎客时段把宠物安置在安静的内间，佩戴带联系方式的项圈与身份牌；宠物服装只选合身、不挡视线与呼吸的款式，若宠物明显不适即脱下。当晚 West Hollywood 等地有大型街头活动，带宠物出门前先考虑人流与噪音是否适合。
Halloween Pet Safety Checklist: Candy, Decorations and a Busy Front Door
With Halloween approaching, households with pets face several common risks. Chocolate and sugar-free candy containing xylitol are toxic to dogs and cats and should be kept out of reach. Candles inside pumpkins and wired decorations can cause burns or be chewed, and batteries and glow sticks should also be stored away.
During trick-or-treating on Oct. 31, a frequently opening front door can let a startled pet slip out. Keeping pets in a quiet inner room during peak hours, with a collar and ID tag carrying current contact details, reduces the risk. Costumes should fit without blocking vision or breathing and be removed if the pet shows distress. Large street events that evening, such as the West Hollywood Carnaval, may be too crowded and noisy for most pets.
