Decking out the family in Halloween costumes is not just for humans. From cats and dogs to guinea pigs and even fish, the whole pet family can take part in some frightfully fun festivities with the help of PetSmart.
Pet parents can choose from Thrills & Chills mermaid costumes for small pets and costumes for dogs, as well as pumpkin chew toys and skull cave fish tank ornaments so pets can join the fun. PetSmart’s Halloween collection includes everything your pet needs including costumes, toys, and decorations to liven up Halloween parties.
This year, cats and dogs alike can transform into dinosaurs, sharks, and spiders. A unicorn and sloth highlight additional costumes exclusive to dogs. There are also spooky-inspired collars and harnesses designed for bringing your pet trick-or-treating. LED reflective collars and leashes from Top Paw can also help keep pets and pet parents safe on evening Halloween strolls.
For the pet who’s less about dressing up and more about toys, families can choose from a variety of Halloween-themed toys, such as a squeaky pumpkin toy or monster arm.
Small pets like guinea pigs can also be costumed with an array of costumes including a mystical unicorn, a fearsomely adorable shark, and a pint-sized pineapple. There are even offerings for fish, including a selection of tank ornament décor like a snorkeling skeleton and a jack o' lantern.
Pets can also partake in their own version of trick-or-treating by indulging in seasonal treats like pumpkin spice-filled bone dog treats or dog-friendly cookies shaped like ghosts and spiders.
Pet parents are invited to PetSmart stores nationwide for an upcoming “Treat Your Boo” event. Dogs will be able to learn tricks for treats, and pet parents can fill a treat bag for their pet at the store’s Trick-or Treat-stations. The party will feature a costume contest with awards for first, second, and third place, plus a certificate for social media bragging rights.
In an attempt to use social media for homegrown brand advocacy, stores will offer photos with Chance the Mascot for pet parents to share with followers by tagging with #petsmartparties. In addition, free yard signs will be available at the event letting neighbors know that dogs are invited to their homes to trick or treat on Halloween night
