Dog Events and Costumes
Last weekend’s Burlingame Pet Parade closed out September 2018 with a reminder that Halloween is just around the bend and it’s never too soon to plan your dog’s Halloween costume.
Good news!
If you picked one of the most popular doggy Halloween costumes previously, you can recycle it in 2018. 11% of pet lovers will dress their animal in a pumpkin costume, while 7% will dress their cat or dog as a hot dog, 5% as a bumble bee and 3% as the devil. Americans spend approx. $350 million on pet costumes for Halloween annually, far less than they spend on Halloween costumes for themselves and their children.
