Food is delicious and everyone appreciates it, but food-themed dog Halloween costumes really inspire a new level of appreciation when sported by beloved pets.

Dogs dressed up on Halloween can be super fun, but can pose a challenge if your furry friends are not up for all the costume frenzy. As a precautionary measure, make sure that your pup is safe in his pet apparel and that none of his natural movements or behaviors are compromised. It can oftentimes be a struggle to get your dog into a costume, either due to its complex design or because your fur baby is too excited to stand still—regardless, you can usually get your pup to obey with a yummy treat as a reward.
