Doggie Dress-Up!
Believe it or not, Halloween’s right around the corner! Is it just us, or did this year fly by? While we’re sure you’ve been stocking up on candy for the trick-or-treaters and costumes for the kids, have you given any thought to what your dog is going to be for Halloween? Doggie Halloween costumes, both home- and commercially-made, are growing in popularity every year, with many communities even having costume parades and contests!
If you’re stuck on what to garb your pup in this Halloween, here are some great ideas DogWatch came across as we scoured the internet for costume ideas for our own dogs. And if you do dress your pup this year, make sure to send us a picture of it at heidi.fence@dogwatch.com, or post it on our Facebook page!
- I find this costume highly illogical.
- I don’t care if I look good enough to eat. Hands off!
- Chia pup: the dog that grows!
- What, no sauce?!
- Scent sold separately.
- Sadly, the history books overlooked the cutest pharaoh of them all: King Mutt. Perhaps it was the doggie breath?
- Certification classes not included.
- The headless Dogman doesn’t quite have the same ring to it…
- My owner took me trick-or-treating. She got the candy. All I got was this lousy sheet!
- You don’t mind that I borrowed your bikini top, do you?
- Ready to board the train to Dogwarts!
- No, no, we are NOT that kind of hot dog! Stop licking your lips like that!
- Woof! Err…Moo!
Haven’t had enough cute dogs in costumes? (Is it possible to ever get enough?) Check out this great video for more inspiration!
