Everyone loves Halloween, when adults, kids and even pets can get creative and dress up as their favorite theme or character. And every year it seems that more and more dog owners want their pets to join in the fun. Because, let’s face it, anything that involves the word ‘treat’ will get those tails wagging. Costumes are getting ever more creative as people vie on social media to show the cutest and most original design concepts.
While the classic themes of pumpkins, witches and skeletons never go out of fashion, movies also provide inspiration. Flying monkeys, cowardly lions and wicked witches are also popular choices for dogs.
