Funny Halloween Costumes for pets can add a lot of holiday magic to Halloween – they are bound to get lots of laughs and attention from your local trick or treaters! And for the most part – the pets love Halloween too – especially dogs. Dogs love the whole concept of treats – and it’s probably a good idea to give them a treat so that they don’t raid your treat bag. Dogs are also pretty personable when trick or treaters come to the door, and some can be pretty welcoming (others of course – are loud yappers).
Cats for the most part are pretty introverted and dislike the holiday – so maybe give them some catnip to get them going! There is of course the sad history of black cats, though we don’t think of it today. Black Cats during Halloween, and in general, were burned alive because people used think they were demon possessed or assisted witches with Witcraft. So try to show your cat some much needed tender loving care, given their sad past.
Funny Halloween Costumes for Dogs
Consider dressing your dog up as a ghost, a witch, a pumpkin, or goblin – any of these will do. Dogs sometimes can get a little rowdy with all of the commotion and movement on Halloween. So, make sure they look like they are in the spirit.
For the Dog and Cat Who loves Pumpkins
Pumpkins are an integral part of the Halloween Holiday. Pumpkins were originally carved and lite up because it was believed they got rid of bad spirits. And who doesn’t enjoy carving pumpkins for Halloween. Why not bring your dog or cat into the foray and decorate them too!
Consider a pumpkin costume. With your panting, 4-legged jack-o-lantern friend you can scare away the bad spirits of Halloween! Here is a great simple item that I found off of Chewy for dogs – it’s a pumpkin dog coat!
