Canine Costumes? Halloween Is For Pets, Too

Halloween isn't just for humans anymore.

Now your cats and dogs can get into the fun, too, with pet costumes.

According to a recent survey done by PetSmart, 16 million people will dress up their pet for Halloween this year, which is equal to about one in 10 pet owners.

But what should Fido wear while strutting his stuff in the dog park on Oct. 31? The choices range from basic to elaborate.

If you're looking for a quick costume, most pet retailers offer simple add-ons, such as Halloween collars, scarves and hats.

There are also full-body costumes for your four-legged friends. Some of the most popular costumes for dogs include a pumpkin, devil, angel, princess, bumble bee, and of course, a hot dog.

For cats, some of the top choices are an angel, mouse and a pumpkin.

Those looking for a more elaborate costume can dress their pets as their favorite superhero, with options including Batman and Spider-Man, or even a Disney character such as Snow White, Peter Pan or Tinker Bell.

And for those willing to put a lot of effort into their pet's costume, your canine companion can also go as Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Wiggles Dog Wigs offers a wig that mimics Palin's signature hairstyle.
