š» 5 Ways to Make This Halloween a Total Treat for Your Dog
1. Dress Them Up (Only If They Want To!)
Some dogs love the attentionāothers prefer a Halloween-themed collar or bowtie. Know their comfort zone and let them shine in their own spooky style.
2. Make a DIY Dog Treat Board
Just like a charcuterie boardābut with dog-safe treats! Arrange bones, jerky, biscuits, and maybe a little frozen yogurt in a Halloween mold.
3. Light Up Their Walk
If youāre taking your dog out on Halloween night, use reflective gear or LED accessories. Safety first, even when theyāre dressed like a taco.
4. Set Up a Home āSpook Stationā
Let your dog stay cozy and greet trick-or-treaters from the front window or porchābonus points for festive bandanas or themed decor!

š·ļø Pro Tips for a Stress-Free Howl-oween
-
š Keep candy far awayāespecially chocolate, raisins, and sugar-free gum
-
š Donāt force a costumeāsome dogs are more ābooā than āboo-tiful,ā and thatās okay
-
š§¹ Give your dog a quiet, cozy space indoors if the excitement is too much
-
š Double-check collars, ID tags, or microchipsājust in case someone gets spooked and slips out
š¾ No Tricks, Just Treats
Halloween with your dog is about one thing: having fun together. Whether youāre passing out candy, hosting a pawty, or curling up with your dog and a scary movie, make it a night filled with comfort, laughter, and a few tail wags too many.
