First, make sure their costume fits! Your pet cannot tell you if something is too tight around their neck, so it’s up to you to know this. You should be able to comfortably fit your finger between your dog’s neck and anything on their neck, including their collar. If you cannot fit your finger comfortably under a garment around their neck, it is too tight! As for their collar, you don’t want it so lose it can come off, but it should not be binding either.

Make sure your dog is not tripping on their costume and not overheated in their costume. An overheated dog can quickly turn into a dehydrated dog which can turn into an emergency, so be wise and dress them appropriately and make sure your dog has access to water.

If your dog has a tendency to chew on things other than bones, be certain that you monitor them while wearing their costume. A new outfit with colorful things sewn on it can be too much temptation for your dog and all parts of costumes are not necessarily something safe for your dog to chew.

Make sure your pet can breathe comfortably in their costume. Costumes that cover their mouth, nose and face are not recommended.

So when you buy Halloween costumes for dogs, be sure to follow the above suggestions.

Here are some tips to encourage your dog to become accustomed to the costume idea:

* Do not wait until Halloween night to put your dog’s Halloween costume on. Start a couple of weeks prior. Use treats to motivate him.
* Let your best friend sniff around the costume, drape it over him for a minute, give him a treat and praise. Do this a few times.
* Do the above on a daily basis, and leave the costume on longer each time. Then put the costume on him, loosely. Repeat what you have done in the tips above. A minute or so at first and then gradually in longer increments. Accompany this with much praise and treats.
* If your best buddy becomes perturbed and upset, and just doesn’t like the idea of being dressed, forget the costume. A simple doggy t-shirt, Halloween collar or bandana may be a better option.
If your dog resists all efforts to dress, then just take your dog along as part of the family. Remember there are some adults and children who also don’t like dressing up.

How Did Halloween Costumes Originate?

Did you know that the origin of Halloween was based on the spirits of the dead?

When we were kids we had a great time wearing the various Halloween costumes that our parents provided for us. We would join up with the rest of the neighborhood and go “trick or treating”. Now our children and our pets experience it, but do we really know the origin of putting on Halloween costumes. So now we buy Halloween costumes for dogs

The origin of the celebration can be traced back to ancient Celtics. They have this feast called Samhain which is a festival held during the end of the harvest season and which is also the Celtic New Year. According to Celtic beliefs, during this time of the year, the spirits of the dead will go up to the surface world and try to possess living bodies for the year to come.

To prevent there bodies from being possessed, Celts would light bonfires and dress up in all sorts of morbid costumes just to discourage the spirits of the dead from entering their bodies.

However, the practice of wearing costumes in America can be traced to the 1900s. It was only in the 1930s that Halloween costumes began to be mass produced. The usual costumes that people rent or buy are those of different monsters including but not limited to vampires, ghosts, ghouls, demons, witches, and skeletons.

Other costumes that seem to have a following are clowns, nurses, dogs, and that lowly Halloween symbol, the pumpkin.
Superhero characters are also fast becoming popular costumes. The demand for new and modern costumes has made costume makers busy and rentals of costumes fully booked.

But the “true” concept of dressing up during Halloween is to mimic the supernatural, the ghoulish being, or basically the scary stuff.

Nevertheless, who are we to keep traditions from adapting to the modern times? Things will always evolve, that’s just how things naturally work. We can’t simply insist on wearing only scary stuff during Halloween. Creativity will play a role in this aspect and people will always crave for new things.
