Halloween is a fun holiday filled with treats and costumes, but pets see things differently. Dogs are very good at interpreting human behaviour. At Halloween time we act a lot differently than any other time of the year which maybe confusing for your dog.
We leave pumpkins around, scary props, etc. It must be interesting for Fido to see.
Dressing up our dogs – Halloween is becoming increasingly common – and that’s really bad news for dogs. Some dogs don’t want the costumes on. Dogs do have feelings and try to hide if they don’t like something. We need to respect them if they don’t want to get dressed up no matter how cute they look.
“Pets typically don’t like costumes with elastic on top of the head or around the neck.” Instead, choose an easy-on, easy-off outfit that doesn’t constrict their head and neck. There are other Halloween pet safety considerations when it comes to costumes, like the material and whether it will cause your dog to overheat.
Sometimes just putting a Halloween themed sweater, bandanna, collar or leash on the dog would look good and may not upset the dog too much.
