Animals

Some dogs really enjoy getting dressed in costumes – they might ham it up and revel in the attention.
Other dogs can become scared or uncomfortable in clothing of any type.

If you want to dress your dog up, start simple and see how she handles it. If she does not like it, then don’t push the issue.

Try a Halloween bandanna or collar instead. If your dog does seem to enjoy getting dressed up, be certain you choose a costume that fits comfortably.

If it is too tight, it could cut off circulation or cause sores to develop. Loose-fitting outfits can trip your dog or get caught on objects around the house.

Because of these potential dangers, never leave your dog unattended in the costume. She could become injured or may ingest parts of the costume and choke, become sick, or develop gastrointestinal blockage.
