Halloween + Dogs = Match Made in Heaven
Halloween is only ONE day away, and with that, I thought I’d offer up some awesome Halloween survey results that I found while browsing around the world wide web. I always thought and assumed that of all Holidays, Halloween was one of the biggest when it comes to pet participation, and after seeing some of these results, my assumptions were confirmed!
If you’re anything like me, you might be a little hesitant to actually dress your dog up, opting instead for a Halloween inspired scarf or bandanna, but it appears that we’re in the minority! Check out the results of a survey done on Dogster.com:
“* 65% of dog owners will be including their pooches in Halloween festivities this year.
* 40% have definite plans to dress up their dogs.
* 72% of those dressing up their dogs will be buying their outfits rather than making them at home.
* 46% percent think the coolest costume last year was Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.
* 43% say their pets resent wearing costumes.
* 19% of dog owners say their pets love getting gussied up for Halloween-the more outrageous the outfit, the better.”“
My favorite little fact is that while 40% of us are going to dress our poochs’ up for Halloween, 43% of us believe that our pets resent actually wearing them! Hilarious. Whatever the case may be, you have only one day left to pick out your dog costumes, get them all dressed up, get the dog-safe treat bowls filled and prepare yourself for the festivities!
