Dog-Friendly Halloween Events in Los Angeles

Are you ready to unleash the Halloween spirit with your furry best friend? Well, you're in for a treat, not a trick! Grab your pup's favorite costume because I have scoped out the best dog-friendly Halloween events in LA.

1. Yappy Hour Halloween Parties

Every year, I attend Spot's Spooktacular hosted by Healthy Spot. There's music, food, and drinks for the humans to enjoy while the pups get wasted on the treat buffet and puptail bar. Last year, I even got a skull tattoo after a few pawgaritas!

2. Pup-kin Patch Adventures

Yes, there are plenty of pet-friendly farms within an hour from LA, but if you want to stay within LA, a great alternative is Citadel Outlets' Big Jack, L.A.'s largest Jack-O-lantern. You will also get a chance to win a $500 Citadel Gift Card when you take a selfie with Big Jack and post it to your Instagram account.

3. Haunted Dog Park Playdate

Gather your pup's crew and head to a dog-friendly park like Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park for a bewitching playdate. Last year, I attended a Schnauzer Halloween meet-up and I tell you, there's nothing cuter than seeing over 100 schnauzers in costumes. This year's meetup is on October 29th from 10:00 am - 12:00 at Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park. Follow @simonsaysschnauzer on Instagram for more info.

4. Howl-O-Ween Movie Night

Rooftop Cinema Club offers dog-friendly "Wooftop" events! For October, enjoy classics like Hocus Pocus and Edward Scissorhands while you cuddle up with your furry friend sharing a bag of popcorn.

5. Spooky Hikes

Explore LA's pet-friendly hiking trails in costume! Runyon Canyon and Griffith Park are excellent options for a Halloween hike.

6. Doggy Halloween Parade

Join the Howl' O Ween Costume Contest & Pawrade at Runway Playa Vista. Be prepared to see the cutest and most creative costumes. My friend Bailey @duchess_bailey dressed up as a fortune teller with her mom and won last year's contest.

7. Bark or Treat at Home

Sometimes, the human and I prefer being comfy in our pajamas at home. If that's also your jam, I highly recommend ordering a pack of Halloween goodies from Paw Mentality. Enjoy a plate of mummies and beef-filled coffin treats while you watch your favorite Halloween movie in the comfort of your couch.
