As Halloween approaches, we love seeing our furbabies get a little festive makeover to bring a bit of joy into our lives. While they might look cute in their costumes, they also need to feel comfortable and most importantly, they need to be safe. So we'll give you some tips on how to get safe Halloween costumes for dogs.
-
It is essential that the costume is safe, comfortable, and does not restrict movement in any way.
-
A dog's body language is a very important way of communicating with each other between dogs, and costumes can sometimes disguise that communication. You need to pay attention to your pet's body language at events where they'll interact with other animals.
-
Make sure you don't scare your pet with your costume. As you adjust your animal to its costume, wear yours around them. Animals that see people dressed in weird outfits are easily overwhelmed and stressed.
-
You don't want small, dangling accessories on the costume that can get chewed up.
-
Costumes can be a real drag for some animals, especially if they are not used to it. When dressing up your pet, it is imperative to make sure that it is comfortable to wear and that it is not stressed while wearing the outfit.
In addition, you could also provide your dog with special Halloween items while they are getting their costumes on, because they may feel a little stressed about the costume thing, so you should make them feel happy by providing some spooky treats and cookies specifically made for them for this time of the year, just in case.
