As Halloween approaches, it’s not just humans who get to dress up — your furry friends can join in the fun, too! At Stockdale’s, we’re thrilled to host our annual Howl-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest on October 19, 2024, where your pet can strut their stuff in their Halloween best.

But what should your pet wear? We’ve got some fang-tastic costume ideas and pet products to help you get started.

Costume Ideas for Your Pet:

1. Classic Witch or Wizard — Transform your pet into a magical creature with a witch hat, cape, or maybe even a tiny broom. A black cat or dog would look extra enchanting, but any pet can cast a spell in this timeless Halloween favorite!
2. Superhero to the Rescue — Dress your pet as their favorite superhero, complete with cape and mask. Whether it’s a famous hero or one you made up, your pet is sure to save the day with their cute factor alone.
3. Food-Themed Fun — Think outside the box with food-inspired costumes! Turn your pup into a hot dog or your cat into a taco. These costumes are fun, unique, and bound to get some laughs.
4. Animal-Inspired Costumes — Ever thought of turning your dog into a lion? With the right mane, they’ll be the king of the jungle — or at least the party. Or, dress your pet as another cute animal like a bumblebee, penguin, or even a dinosaur.
5. Seasonal Pumpkin or Ghost — Embrace the Halloween spirit with simple yet adorable pumpkin or ghost costumes. These are classic looks that never go out of style and are easy to put together!
