- Make sure your pet sports a reflective collar for visibility with ID tags, name, cell phone number, and microchip.
- When opting for costume wear, check for fit and comfort. Do a dress rehearsal a few days early to allow time for modifications.
- Have important numbers available: vet, ER vet, ASPCA poison control hotline.
- Consider pet’s visibility when selecting costumes. Dogs may be more easily frightened when they cannot see well.
- When taking Fido out to trick-or-treat, choose light-colored costumes for best visibility by others.
- Black costumes are very hard to see in the dark AND difficult to recognize when worn on a black dog. Choose contrasting colors to your dog’s fur.
- Dogs will often hang their head when extremely unhappy with costumes. Consider removing the headpiece or footwear.
- Help your dog become more comfortable with costume by daily practice with treats and praise.
- Reduce stress by treating your dog to a brisk walk before sundown on Halloween eve.
- Dogs who won’t wear costumes will often tolerate a bandana, reflective collar, or collar light.
- ONLY take well-socialized dogs on house-to-house trick-or-treating
- Candles are dangerous. Choose battery-operated versions for safety.
Happy halloween

Hello there! This article couldn’t be written much better!
Looking through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He always kept preaching about this. I’ll forward this post to him.
Pretty sure he will have a very good read. Thank you for sharing!
