118 GH OCTOBER 2019
It’s normal for furry friends to be uncertain their first time wearing
a costume, so don’t wait for the big night. Dress them up for short
stints (with treats!) a few times beforehand to make costumes
fun and not stressful, says certified trick-dog instructor Sassafras
Lowrey. Outfits that let them move easily, like ones that don’t
cover the whole body, will help keep them relaxed and safe.CowBOY kitty Tu r n

Pets can get
infected with the
human flu. Keep your
distance if you have the
virus. But dogs and cats
can’t get the same colds
that people do, so don’t
worry about giving
Fluffy your sniffles.q: Can you get the flu from your pet?
A: Probably not. The CDC has no reports of people getting
infected with the flu viruses that affect dogs, and there’s no known
cat flu virus. However, because some other illnesses can pass
between pets and people, it still pays to be safe. Here’s how.[ READER Q&A ]2 Just as in
people, the flu
can cause serious
discomfort for your
pet. So make an
appointment with
your vet any time
your dog or cat seems
sick or lethargic.3
The CDC recom-
mends supervising
kids around animals and
always washing your hands
before and after touching
your pet or his stuff.
That’s because infections
like salmonella and
E. coli can spread between
pets and people.HIGHPROTEIN~GRAIN-FREE
