Should pets be dressed up for Halloween?

I'm not much for dressing pets as it is. Am I wrong for thinking that Halloween is just another excuse to make pets look ridiculous?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I only think it should be reserved for special dogs who enjoy it.
I've only had one dog that I dressed for Halloween. He was a black lab and his name was Bear. He was the most comic animal I have ever met.

I found a black skeleton suit and put it on him one year and it blended in perfectly. I took him trick or treating with a group of kids and when they would yell 'Trick or Treat!', bear would also howl. It was a hoot, and he was an instant hit!

The second time he went trick or treating, I found a kid sized pink tutu and stuck it around his hips. His name that year was 'Pavlova's Dog'... get it? (Pavlov... Pavlova?) He had fun peeing on that tutu before the night was through.

Anyway... both times he kept his machismo intact and made a whole bunch of people laugh. I'm sure he was a reincarnated clown. So to answer you question... I think it would depend on the dog.

Gladiator, why is this answer unhelpful? Here at Mahalo, "unhelpful" means that it didn't answer the question, or was not done in a helpful spirit. It *does not* mean that you disagree with the answer. Bunny's answer was helpful.

Yes, there should be a law that allows you to take the day off of work and have a parade with all your pets in it on Halloween Day, dogs,cats...Llamas, whatever you got, every city.

My husband and I used to raise Bichons for show. You know, the fluffy cotton dogs with the round haircuts? We had a mated pair --the male had selected the female out of her litter when he was 12 weeks old and she was 7 weeks old.

They were extremely fond of each other. They would walk side by side, like they were joined at the hip.

So my husband got the brilliant idea to paint a sturdy giftwrap cardboard core white and fasten it to their halters (we used halters instead of collars to avoid wearing down the fur on their necks; plus they're pretty strong willed).

They looked just exactly like a giant, walking Q-Tip! It was hilarious. We took our 2-year-old son around the neighborhood (he was Tigger) along with our "Q-Tip" and got all kinds of comments from other trick-or-treaters. The pups loved the attention!

In my personal opinion, some may do this to dogs, however as a loving cat owner, I know my cat does not like a flea collar or to be covered by blankets, so I am positive that wearing clothing would not be a good thing for her to have to endure. However, my girlfriends big fuzzy dog gets dressed up like one of the children and goes trick or treating as added protection for the kids and I think that is pretty cute.

Yes, especially if you are a Democratic capybara and election day comes so soon after Halloween.

I have never had a pet complain to me that its owner dressed it up for a holiday.

In my opinion, if you have a well trained dog, you should both dress it up and take it around the neighborhood begging. Say, for a good charity like UNICEF, and/or some treats.
