Halloween is Saturday. If your dog thinks every doorbell ring is a personal invitation, this one's for you. 🎃🐶
Trick-or-treat night means the front door opens over and over, and that's when pets slip out, doors get left unlocked, and nobody's watching the porch. A few easy fixes:
1️⃣ Door sensor alerts: get a phone notification the second the front door opens, so you know if it was left open or someone (furry or not) got out.
2️⃣ Video doorbell: see and talk to trick-or-treaters without opening the door every time.
3️⃣ Heading out to a party? Arm the system before you leave. With 24/7 monitoring, a real person at the monitoring center gets the signal if something trips while you're gone.
Quick tip: put the dog in a back room or crate during peak trick-or-treat hours, and keep the porch light on.
Home Shield Alarm is a local Ohio company. Monitoring starts around $27.99/mo and cameras around $34.99/mo.
