When it comes to Halloween and your canine
or kitty, why leave them out of the fun?? Some pets, like humans, are natural born
show-offs and love to get into the Halloween fun!
You'll know your pets moods best, so make sure that they don't mind
being dressed up or what could be a fun time could turn out horribly wrong. |
Pets, like people, love candy but remember,
NO CHOCOLATE!! It can kill a dog or cat in minutes! Some companies make caffeine free
safe treats for dogs, those make wonderful doggie treats during the Halloween season! |
Like costumes for humans, pets costumes come
in all sizes and varieties. You can find them at department stores, pet stores, drug
stores, almost everyone carries them at this time of year!
Pet costumes are a big thing now! You can also find a
great selection of them at
your local Halloween costume
store. |
