What should your dog be this Halloween?

Wondering what your dog should wear for Halloween?

Do you like to celebrate holidays and occasions with your dog like we do? What should your dog be this Halloween? We are off to the Pugoween Fundraiser for PugALug Pug Rescue at PawsWay on Sunday with Kilo the Rescue Pug so we definitely needed some inspiration.

Check out our Video of 99 Cool Halloween Pet Costumes

I am sure political costumes will be popular this year, especially in the US, and who could forget Fishstick the Pug on the red carpet as Donald Trump with his lovely bride Lottie at Woofstock filming Backseat Barkers.

Movie characters like Star Wars, Minions, Ghost Busters, Batman, and Disney Princesses are always popular. Kilo doesn’t mind his Super Pug, Bat Pug or Minion Costumes too much. Which do you think he should wear?

I thought Petco did a fun job getting Influencer Dogs to try their costumes this year including our friends from Gone to the Snow Dogs. The theme was Better Halloween Together.

Keep Your Dog Safe and Happy on Halloween

Make this Hallows Eve fun for both of you. Always choose pet clothing that is safe and comfortable for your dog to wear. Make sure your dog can easily stand, sit, lie down, walk, and use the bathroom at any time while in costume. Always double check f there are things sewn onto the outfit, your pet may try to eat them and can get really sick. If your pet doesn’t like getting dressed up, don’t force him or her. Kilo the pug is not a fan of putting his paws through tight sleeves or wearing much so he often just has loose soft things or a simple bandana or collar or harness or vest instead.

Stay safe this Halloween by making sure your dog doesn’t escape or ingest anything dangerous like chocolate or candy, decorations, or costume pieces. Always contact a vet or the ASPCA Hotline immediately if they do. Halloween is the second most common time for dogs to get lost after July 4th and a common time for poisoning to occur.

Foods You Should Never Share With Your Dog Kilo sits on couch with bowl full of chips watching Blue Jays Game

  • Don’t leave your pet unsupervised or in a high traffic area.
  • I bet we see a few Blue Jays costumes in Toronto as well, especially if they win today. Just be careful with the Halloween treats and chips LOLDo not leave snacks within reach. Kilo will steal chips and chocolates, wrapper and all.
  • Make sure your dog can’t get out the front door while handing out candy.
  • Make sure tags are up-to-date, detailed and on.
  • Keep them on a leash during Halloween!

What Do You Think Kilo The Pug Should Go As? What’s your dog going to be this year?

Share your photos and costume ideas with us in the comments below, by e-mail and on Facebook so we can add your dog in the gallery which we will be updating daily.

    There are some fab ideas!! Red was a devil one year, a witch complete with the pointy hat the next. She wasn’t too happy so last year she wore a Halloween themed sweater, and this year I bought her a pumpkin sweater. Keeps her warm and in the holiday spirit.

    What an awesome video, I hadn’t heard about the Petco initiative!! I think Kilo looks great in all his costumes but he should go as a superhero ’cause he’s so super!!

    You have so many cute costumes! Echo has the same batman costume! Gracie has a dragon costume. Echo doesn’t mind his at all, but Gracie is a little unsure about hers.

    Every year I run into the same problem – super cool costumes (like yours) for dogs your size. So hard to find cool costumes for larger dogs. Bummer…
