PetSmart Howl-O-Ween Photo Competition

Posted by Clare Bristow

It's that time of year again when dog owners feel the need to dress their dogs up in Halloween costumes!

PetSmart is running its annual photo competition, and you have until next Sunday, 14 October to enter a photo of your dog. The picture above is of one of the 2006 finalists.

If you decide to dress your dog up this Halloween, please bear in mind the following:

make sure the costume isn't tight fitting;
ensure your dog's movement isn't restricted;
there aren't any buttons or other decorations your dog can easily pull off and swallow; and
if your dog doesn't like to be dressed up, shies away from the costume and just looks miserable about the whole thing, don't force him to do it!

If you need inspiration for a dog Halloween costume, this short video (1 minute 43 seconds) should give you a few ideas:

If you do enter your dog in the PetSmart Howl-o-ween photo competition, please let me know and send a photo to clare AT DogTopics DOT com so that I can put it on the site - it should help you get a few more votes!
