Halloween and Your Dog's Costumes
by Allison WaggHalloween is right around the corner, and here at Always Home Pet Services we enjoy celebrating Halloween with your pets! We will have various activities throughout the day for your dogs to participate in. We encourage pet costumes for spooky photo opportunities.
The trend of dressing pets up in costumes has increased over the years. There are many costumes to choose from and are created specifically for pets, however, that does not necessarily mean that the costume was designed with your dog's overall safety in mind. Some things to be aware of when choosing a costume: Costumes with beads, snaps, buttons, ribbons, elastic, glitter and fabric can all be potentially toxic, intestinal hazards for your canine. Costumes that have dangling parts or pieces can be chewed and swallowed. Costumes can cause overheating, impaired vision, and even difficulty breathing if it covers the face or is too restrictive around your dog's neck or chest. Be sure your pet can breathe easily and move about freely when it is in costume. To ensure that your pet is happy, it is important to remember that comfort is key.
Your dog's safety takes precedent and photoshoots here at Always Home Pet Services will be short and sweet creating lasting memories. We wish you and your dog a happy and safe Halloween.
