Halloween isn’t just for humans — it’s one of the most fun nights of the year for our furry friends too! Across Canada, dog owners are getting creative with costumes that make tails wag and crowds smile. From classic pumpkin pups to viral movie characters, 2025’s trends are all about comfort, creativity, and canine personality.
Before we jump into costume ideas, remember that safety and comfort come first. Avoid tight outfits, make sure your dog can see, breathe, and walk freely, and always add reflective gear for evening walks.
