Paws Down…Tails Up
A Hallow’s Eve to Remember
Other than making sure your buddy doesn’t eat chocolate, Halloween is a blast for pet owners. Even those with a no-frilly-outfit rule might fall victim to a Halloween outbreak of cutesy-it is. Whether you’re walking down to the coffee shop or off to the community pet parade, these Hallow’s Eve outfits will be the talk of the town.
ADORABLY SINISTER
An adorably sinister little devil costume seems fitting for the pet most likely to push things off the counter. Your kitty will be the glitter-clad cutie in the neighborhood in this Devil Headpiece from Bootique.

TRADE RUFFS
FOR RIBBITS
First off, a snood is always adorable, and the Bootique Frog Headpiece is no exception. Trade your pup’s usual ruff-ruff for a trick-or-treat ribbit-ribbit, and he’s a shoo-in to win the annual contest. Info: petco.com
TRICKS, TREATS & WITTY TEES
House of Furbaby has joined the Halloween fun with an off-the-charts witty collection of shirts. Sayings include “Boot Scootin’ Spooky,” “Furry Pirate Lookin’ For Bootie,” and more. The best part is the collection can be personalized with your pet’s name.

SWEET AS CANDY CORN
Just when you thought candy corn couldn’t get any sweeter, along comes this little fella. This simple costume from Old Navy will never fail you—cats and dogs look equally hilarious. Info: oldnavy.com
LOUNGE LIZARD COWBOY
Don’t leave the family lizard out of the holiday fun. Bootique’s Cowboy Lizard Costume will probably break the Internet, but it’s worth it to see our scaly friends finally getting their time to reign supreme on Halloween.

THE GAME IS AFOOT
Who ate all the mini-Snickers bars? Don’t worry; Detective Bunny from Bootique is on the case. You should plan ahead, however, because he demands immediate payment, and won’t accept Venmo. He has a strict carrots-only payment policy. Info: petco.com
DRESS YOUR SNOOPY AS CHARLIE
Of course, any dog can dress up for Halloween as Charlie Brown. It would be off-the-charts adorable, though, if you have a black and white Snoopy-looking dog. Bark’s Halloween Charlie Brown Dog Polo would look cute on a kitty too. Info: petsmart.com
A WICKED TREAT
SodaPup is well known for its indestructible toys. The Magnum Sugar Skull Ultra-Durable Chew Toy & Treat Dispenser is one of my holiday favorites. They also offer a vampire bat and Jack O’ Lantern. Info: sodapup.com
BETTER THAN HERSHEY KISSES
We all love Hershey kisses, but this sweet lovin’ is even better. This Kissing Booth Headpiece from Bootique is especially cute at a dog parade or community event. Be warned, though. You’ll need to share your irresistible bestie with the neighborhood—or maybe even the whole town. Info: petco.com
CLASSIC CUTENESS
Even those who have a no-costume rule might make an exception for this one. It’s not officially a costume, but the Wicked Sweet Dress from Bootique is an effortless way to “skirt” the rule if a certain someone in the house is itchin’ to dress up Fido. Info: petco.com
A BOO-TIFUL OUTFIT
Old Navy steps it up here with this on-theme one-piece outfit. The simple black and white theme is exactly right for a boo-tiful look that’s sure to turn heads. Plus, it’s affordable enough to buy a few cute costumes.

PUP-KIN SPICE, OF COURSE!
Do you really think I’d leave all our furry babies out in the cold—without some Pumpkin Spice Latte? Of course, not. This utterly swoon-worthy plush toy from Bootique is just what your dog needs after a long night of trick-or-treating. Info: Petco.com
