Dog Gone Halloween
Published on: October 05, 2014
It’s Halloween, dog gone it! Of course you have your pet costume lined up and somewhere to go. People go crazy over dog costume contests and parades, as evidenced by the crowds attending the Haute Dog Howl’oween Parade in Belmont Shore where you can even pay $5 for a front row seat to watch mutts strut their stuff.
Among the 14.3% of celebrants planning to outfit their pets this Halloween, 10.8% will dress them as a pumpkin, the top costume again this year. Hot dogs, devils and bumble bees are strong sellers, too.
Americans are expected to spend $2.8 billion on Halloween costumes:
$1 billion on children’s costumes
$1.4 billion on adult costumes
$350 million on pet costumes
