A charity group has reminded dog owners that their pets may feel unsettled during Halloween. Not only will there be unexpected knocks on the door, people will be dressed in strange costumes.

Soon after Halloween will come Bonfire Night, which can be equally stressful for dogs, as there could be loud noises and flashes through the evening.

The two events happening so close to each other may leave some pet owners concerned. Thankfully, as reported by the Echo, Dogs Trust has shared some top tips for dog owners over the coming days.

The charity hopes that owners will take the right steps to ensure that their pets are not overwhelmed. Dogs Trust states: "Halloween can be a scary time of year not just for those participating in trick or treating, but for dogs, who may find unexpected knocks at the door and people dressed in costumes unsettling.
