A warning has been issued to all dog owners who will be at home with their pets this week over "unsetting" costumes and "overwhelming" door knocks.
In the run-up to the spookiest night of the year, Halloween, Dogs Trust Merseyside is calling on owners to be mindful of the increase of unexpected door knocks and spooky-looking costumes. The charity has warned that the build-up to October 31 can leave dogs "easily overwhelmed".
The charity wants to warn dog owners that it can be a fun time of the year for human members of the family but for animals it can be "unnerving".
