Halloween Costumes for Dogs
Halloween is right around the corner, so it's time to start buying halloween costumes for all the members of your family. For me, family includes my two dogs.
There are two routes you can choose - the full on pet costume - for dogs that enjoy dressing up, or the simple pet costume accessory - for dogs that won't put up with much of a fuss. I have one of each type in my family, and although you might laugh and think no dog wants to wear a costume, I trained my youngest dog from the age of 10 weeks. She was always wearing something! But I strongly suggest you underestimate the patience of your pet. Halloween is meant to be fun! Even for dogs. If you haven't ever dressed your dog up before, either work your dog into the theme naturally (think toto from the Wizard of Oz) or select something that will seem natural, like a jester collar. Your dog will enjoy the holiday much more if they feel comfortable in their costume, and pet costume accessories are a perfect compromise.
Just as you can find a huge selection of adult costumes and kid's costumes, there's also a very wide variety of costumes for pets. So, if you're a traditionalist, you can find witch or skeleton costumes for your dog, or, if you're not, you can find just about anything else! If your kids are into StarWars this year, buy the Yoda pet costume and let fido become part of the theme. Or if the family is into Superheroes, there are several pet superhero costumes to choose from.
Remember, if you have a well socialized dog, there's no reason to leave your him or her out of the fun this Halloween season. You'll have a great time hearing all the other trick-or-treater's commenting on how cute your "best friend" looks and your dog will love the attention.
