If your dog is a tad nervous, calming products are available. Take a look at "Comfort Zone For Dogs."  It is a plug-in diffuser that releases a calming pheromone or the spray which you can use on bedding, furniture, etc. It may be just the thing for your best friend who finds all the noise and commotion on Halloween a little stressful.
Featured Breed - Chihuahuas
Chihuahuas have the distinction of being the smallest canines in the world, Despite their small size (they often grow as big as 12 pounds and stand just 6 - 9 inches tall) this breed make good watch dogs and are known for their saucy expression and alert attitude.
The Chihuahua Originated in Mexico, named after the Mexican state where it was first discovered.
They are prone to barking and jumping at times, but those that do just need a little
training and discipline. Chihuahuas are very loyal and devoted to their owners.
Many Chihuahuas are sensitive to the cold due to their small body size. Owners often dress their dogs in Clothes such as in coats and sweaters in cold weather.

Featured Product Pet Safe SmartDoor
I am always on the lookout for safety products that use new technology. This one caught my eye. It is a high tech doggy
door which it ideal for dogs that like to come and go and perfect if you have had a problem in the past with other animals
or snakes getting into your home. It is designed for the safety of you and your dog. The PetSafe SmartDoor allows you to
control the access of your pets. When the SmartDoor is set to Automatic mode, only your dog wearing the SmartKey can pass
through the door. As your pet enters the adjustable range of the SmartDoor which is adjustable up to 3 feet, the SmartDoor
will detect the SmartKey and it unlocks automatically.
After your dog passes through the door, it will lock automatically. Without the SmartKey, no other animals are able to
pass through. You may view it here.
