Halloween Parade for the Dogs

dog superman costumeOne of the best ways to celebrate the Halloween holiday is to sponsor a pet parade. Imagine dozens of amazingly costumed dogs, strolling down the avenue with owners in hand (OK, so maybe a few cats and ferrets too).  Awards go to the best-costumed canine in each category, including best complementary costumes, pet and owner.

The Halloween dog costume parade is already a big hit in many communities, and makes for a great fundraiser for local animal shelters and dog rescue organizations. Think about all the fun and photo opportunities, as well as the potential for public relations and needed contributions.

For many folks without children, celebrating Halloween with their beloved pets allows them some of the fun and enjoyment of the season. Families with children and kids like to participate together and complementary costuming is often a fan favorite.

Regardless of the size of your community, think about the benefits of organizing a Halloween  Parade for the dogs and for all the people who enjoy and love them.

Halloween Dog Costume Tips for 2010

dog Yoda costumeHalloween is the most exciting time of the year for dogs and pet owners. What other occasion gives rise to so much fun? The opportunity to dress up in scary, funny or unique costumes can be a real blast, from planning through trick-or-treating. Don’t forget the treats either, you are practically guaranteed extra candy and goodies (hopefully dog treats too) if you take a canine trick-or-treating with you.

For the very best dog Halloween costumes, you need to do some thoughtful planning well in advance. Check-out some of the available picture archives available online, which display past Halloween dog costumes. There are actually links to 2 such sites available in the Dog Costume Resources section of this site. Check-out what others have used for dog costumes in the past. The originality and creativity in designing many dog costumes is amazing.

Some other important points to consider in selecting a winning dog costume are to use the dogs breed, size and temperament to best advantage. The costume should complement the dog’s size shape and personality. For dogs, the underlying idea is to portray cuteness, or humor. Some breeds are naturally better suited in some roles, because of their physical characteristics. A bull dog for example, looks great as a jailbird, in black and white stripes. However, make sure that your dog will actually tolerate whatever costume and accessories are needed to complete the costume effectively. Many dogs don’t do well with hats or accessories on their head.

Finally, you may want to consider matching your dog’s costume to that worn by other family members and trick-or-treaters. This could actually be the best tip of all. There is nothing more clever than to complement costumes. A “little Miss Muffet” along with a little dog in spider costume, for example. The costume ideas are truly limitless.

Top Ten Killer Dog Halloween Costumes Reviewed

When it comes to Halloween, dogs are a lot like children, they love treats and lots of attention. So why not enjoy your dog this Halloween along with the rest of the family and festivities? And while you’re at it, how about a costume for your dog that complements your party, or trick-or-treaters?

A great way to pick a truly fitting dog Halloween costume is to think about your dog’s overriding personality. Here’s a somewhat abbreviated list of favorite dog costumes from past Halloweens, just to give you some ideas to work with.

1. Escaped Convict/Jailbird
Here’s a classic look for that little rascal, who’s constantly being caught stealing food off the table, or escapes from the backyard to socialize in the neighborhood. The black and white stripes for you – shame….bad dog!

2. The Angel
So you’ve got the perfect dog, why not flaunt it with a halo and pair of wings? The fairy princess is another favorite with wings.

3. Devil
How many dogs fit the devil image, especially when they’re going through puppyhood with an urge to chew and too much pent-up energy? Unfortunately most puppies don’t have much of a conscience either. The Tasmanian Devil would be another great look.

4. Bride and Groom
A great costume theme for two dogs, works even better if the groom is a little nervous and the bride is a larger dog. Could be a killer costume with a lab bride and a chihuahua groom.

5. Superman or Batman
Works well for a dog with supreme confidence and a body of steel. These are dogs who are smart, strong, fast and capable of extreme heroics in taking care of their humans – no slackers in this group.

6. Pirate
The pirate is my favorite Halloween dog costume, just because so many dogs look really cute with an eye patch!

7. Clown
When I think of the clown costume, I remember a couple of golden retrievers who were absolutely hilarious and entertaining with their antics and would have made great clowns.

8. King or Queen
The King and Queen is another great couples look if you happen to have a male and a female dog. This works great if they also happen to be a bit pampered and spoiled and have assumed a royal attitude about the household.

9. Other Animals, Wild or Domestic
Have you ever seen a harlequin great Dane that could’ve passed as a cow, if it had a set of horns, or a pug that would’ve looked great in a frog suit?

10. Cowboys or Cowgirls
This is always a classic for Halloween dog costumes, would also work well for a Mexican bandito, with sombrero and bandaliers.

To pull off a killer Halloween costume for your dog this year, start early. Get your costume ready and give your dog a chance to get accustomed to that hat or other costume accessory. Preparing your dog for the big event will take a little time, patience and practice on your part, but will pay off in a lot of fun and memories on Halloween night.
