It is quickly approaching Halloween time, where parents get excited to not only dress their children up and parade them around town, but also their pets. The statistics show that one in ten parents are now dressing up their pet as well as their kids. This relates to a stunning 160 million dogs and cats that end up in those embarrassing costumes (or at least the dogs and cats think so). Not only are they dressed up, but in many cases they are marched around in parades and brought to costume parties to show off their best looks.
Animal behaviorists say that these types of bonding events between humans and their animals help build stronger bonds. Not only do these types of events give families bonding time together, but they also help the pets to become more socialized.
This year’s favorite costumes are going to be a bumble bee equipped with a stinger, a cow, and a mail man which is sporting a “Mutt Mail” logo. Also, for cats there is going to be devil, witch, pumpkin, and of course a mouse costume.
The only disadvantage for the pets in all of this excitement is that they do not get to eat candy afterwards. However, it doesn’t mean that after all this trick or treating that they don’t deserve to get some natural bully sticks !
