Kids love to go Trick or Treat, but do you ever take your pets Trick or Treat? Did you know that you can take them to Petsmart and have a lot of fun finding treats, Halloween toys and even outfits that would make your Trick or Treat complete?
I decided to put together a few tips on how to have fun on Halloween with your pets and still keep them save. How do you keep your pets safe?
1. If you put a costume on your pet, make sure it is weather appropriate; so they don’t overheat. Also make sure it is easy on and off as well as comfy for the dog; you don’t want to buy an outfit too small and your baby can barley move in it. My Woodstock is rocking his Martha Stewart Pets® Cyclops Costume and loving it. I did buy him a size large and he is only about 20lbs and the outfit fits him perfect. So keep an eye on sizing.
2. Find Trick or Treat toys that will last all year long as well. My dogs love to trick each other and steal toys from each other all day long; I decided to check out three different toys from the Martha Stewart Pet Selection and the pups have not put them down yet. They are colorful, halloweenish and a lot of fun as well as sturdy. Almost look like baby toys, but they are perfect for your pets.
3. Take your pets trick or Treat at pet stores like PETSMART to get some special treats and let them pick out their very own toy; I know mine love it when I take them for a ride and they get a toy. Just like the kids.. they are spoiled rotten.
4. Keep your Treats real and safe. Try to buy Made in USA as much as possible to eliminate any food/ treat issues. As you may remember my baby Charlie was poisoned by Dog treats from China last year; he had a long recovery but is fine now. So it is worth to check your label and only buy natural products that you can relate to. We checked out some fun Blue Boo Bars and the dogs loved them and price wise they are very compatible with other products. So it pays to shop for treats made in the USA.
5. Keep the pets safe; if you know your pet gets overly excited with lots of people or is nervous in different places, why not get him a new treat or toy and keep them at home instead? They would much rather be in their safe space then on the road with a lot of stranger and other dogs.
That’s just a few tips and ideas that we have to share a fun Trick or Treat with your pets and would love to hear what you have planed for your pet this year?
Happy Trick or Treat

hahhaha… that first costume is so cute. My Daughters dog doesn’t mind at all being dressed up. She gets cold easy so she loves wearing anything that will help keep her warm.

Aw, so cute! We’re a pet-free family dye to hubby’s allergies, but doggies in costumes are so cute! The photo of a dachshund wearing a hot dog costume always makes me smily & giggle

Oh my your pups look amazing – I hadn’t thought of getting Sal anything for Halloween well other than a witches costume but I might have to pop down the shops now and see what tricks and treats I can get her. x

I love the costumes and toys! It looks like your pups are all set for Halloween. I haven’t decided what I am going to do with my dogs yet. I am making tutus for costumes for myself, my daughter and granddaughter so I might have to whip up a couple for my dogs.

I think this is a great idea for my pets this year. I’ve never taken my dogs out trick or treating but I think the kids would enjoy it this year with the dogs as well. Super idea!

I love it when people bring their pets all dressed up for Trick or Treating. These costumes are really cute and thanks for the great tips. Maybe we will dress our two dogs up this year.

LOL, I have never seen anyone dress up their pets before. I have enough trouble picking out costumes for my kids let alone a dog 🙂

What great tips! I never really considered this but if I did dress up my dog it would be very important to consider if he was getting too hot! Makes me want to go get him some Halloween treats!

The dog looks so adorable. I love this idea because our pets really do become like a part of our family so why not allow them to enjoy the Halloween season too. I had no idea they sell doggie costumes at PetSmart.

Awwe! The dog looks super cute with the costume! Plus it looks comfy enough, unlike other costumes that basically stuff dogs like a stuffed chicken

we just got a cat (rescued from the pool area of our complex) and we may just need some treats (though petsmart isn’t here, i did got here when we lived in Phoenix)

I got the Buzz lightyear and woody costumes for my dogs from Petsmart! So cute.
Robin Wilson says
My dog has a Superman t-shirt from Petsmart to rock this year. I am sickened by the latest round of animals that have died from treats from China. Wish that stores like PetSmart just wouldn’t carry them. I was horrified to find out that the AKC treats I was feeding my Zu were made in China. So thank you for the warning!

We have a costume from Petsmart for our poodle…he’s going to be a dragon. I won’t take him trick or treating because he’s a little skittish around crowds, but he’ll enjoy some treats at home.
