All Things Dog Blog

Halloween is right around the corner, time to start figuring out decorations! For those of you who love to include your dogs in this exciting holiday all sorts of new Halloween toys and accessories are now in stores for your pets and you to enjoy. Just the other day I received a few goodies from Petco to try out on my favorite boys, Tanner and Oliver, as well as their modeling assistant, Scruffy. Scruffy doesn't have much to say, but he's very cooperative!

In this image, Scruffy is cuddling with this new "cat mermaid" costume. Now, if I tried to put this on my cat Patches, she would probably revolt with some combination of hissing, scratching, and biting. On the other hand, I know many cats who have the sweetest demeanors, and may not enjoy it, but will more than willingly allow their owners to dress them up like a mermaid. This cute little costume is covered all over with sequins and is one size fits most.

Here's Tanner with this adorable new toy and Halloween colored leash. This great little monster toy has plastic in his arms so it makes a fun noise and will keep your pup occupied for hours! It's belly also squeaks which will instantly get any dog's attention. This great leash comes equipped with an LED light which is great for taking your dog for a walk in the dark. This light is rechargeable either via solar power or USB cable. It is also water resistant and comes with a 90 limited warranty.

Oliver got the privilege to model this adorable Halloween-themed sweater. The warm turtle neck will be perfect for you Northern folks who battle a chilly October 31. It will fit most dogs his size--around 10 lbs. and likely up to about 15 lbs. It is knitted with a design of skulls and crossbones on the back, with green, white, and black coloring.

Scruffy (the stuffed dog) is wearing the skeleton costume... oooohh scary! It comes with the skeleton jacket (also a harness, super convenient!) as well as 4 small skeleton footies. The footies fit Oliver's foot perfectly, other sizes may be available in stores as well. Note that this costume includes a skeleton headpiece with ear holes included. I love the functional nature of this costume!

As if Tanner wasn't cute enough already (did I really say that?), here he is modeling a giraffe costume from Petco. It was a bit short and small for his body, so I assume this costume will most likely fit dogs around 40-50 lbs. How precious is he in this?! I can't get over it, and he looks like he is enjoying himself as well. Well at least one dog is ready for Halloween.
