We all love spooky season, but let's make sure it is a safe and fun one for everyone - including our pups! From trick-or-treating to festive decorations, Halloween can be exciting, but it is important to keep your furry friend in mind. Here are a few tips to help make the day both fun and safe for your dog:
- Watch the treats - keep chocolates and other sugary snacks away from curious noses. Instead, have some dog-friendly treats ready to keep your pup happy!
- Mind the costumes - if your dog is wearing a costume, make sure it is comfortable and doesn't restrict movement or breathing.
- Stay visible - Halloween can mean late night walks. Make sure your dog is visible with reflective gear or a bright-coloured harness.
Now, onto the fun part - DIY Halloween ideas for your furry friend! Whether you are hosting a spooky party or just want to get creative, these ideas are perfect for a fun-filled, spook-tacular day.
1. Skull Harness

2. Dog-Friendly Howl-oween Cookies
Make your own dog treats using just peanut butter, flour and milk - follow our recipe here. Roll them into spooky shapes - like ghost or bat cutouts! These make a safe and festive snack for your dog, and you can store extras for later.
3. DOGUE Yellow Raincoat as "Georgie" from IT
For a simple but clever costume, dress your pup as Georgie from IT using DOGUE's Yellow Raincoat. Complete the look with a small red balloon (attached safely to the leash) for that iconic spooky touch. Your dog will steal the show at any Halloween gathering!
4. DIY "Boo" Bow Tie
Turn your dog into a Halloween showstopper with a homemade "boo" bow tie! Grab some black and orange ribbon, twist it into a bow and attach a felt "boo" to the middle. Your dog will look dashing and festive, and you can pair it with DOGUE's Skull Harness for extra flair.
