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! Spot's Spooktacular -Beverly Grove 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. 📍 Citadel Outlets 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. With my nephew @_they_call_me_bash 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. Credit: @runwayplayavista | 📸 @venicepaparazzi 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. Halloween Treat Box from Paw Mentality With these Halloween ideas, you and your pup are sure to have a howling good time this spooky season! Have a howling good time! Calvin 🐾

It's officially fall, which means it's time to give your pup a wardrobe upgrade. I'm not saying your pup needs a whole closet, but a few key pieces can keep them cozy and Instagram-ready all season long. Here are my top 6 pet fashion trends this fall 1. Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice Dress your pup in warm, pumpkin-colored outfits and complete the look with fall must-have accessories such as maple leaves and pumpkin. If you want one-of-a-kind pieces like this delicate maple mesh top, visit The Bacon Collection's Etsy store. Image by Mary Haber Pets | Neakasa Pawsgiving hosted by @mistricks & @misbadasspearl 2.

Whether you go classic or creative, I'm sure your dog's costume will be a real treat! Happy Howl-oween, everyone! 🎃

📸 @mary_haber_pets Hey there, dog parents! By now, your Instagram feed is probably haunted by Halloween-inspired posts and I know how overwhelming it can be thinking of what your pup should wear, planning how to decorate, and capturing it all for your feed. Trust me, I’ve been there! With years of experience from countless Howl-O-Ween parties and, of course, having an obsessed dog mom, I’m here to share my top Halloween content ideas to spook and delight your followers this season. So take notes and follow my lead! Halloween Dog Costumes Ideas Let’s be real. A pup in a costume is an instant double-tap magnet. You know it, I know it. There’s something about a pup in costume that makes everyone stop scrolling and say, “Awwww, so cute!” Now, before you get all stressed thinking you need to create the most extravagant costume ever, let me tell you, simple can be just as effective! Want to get a list of my top recommended costumes? Check out this article. 📸 @petshotstudios If your pup is more on the “I’m not moving in this thing” side of the costume spectrum, don’t worry. Some pups just aren’t about that costume life, but you can always opt for a Halloween-themed bandana or harness. My favorite? Bat wings! Not only do they give off the spooky vibe, but they’re also comfy enough for your pup to wear while strutting around the park or chilling at home. Content Tips: Tell a story with your post! Sure, your pup will look adorable in any costume, but it’s the caption that will really hook your audience so get creative with it! For the ultimate “awww” factor, coordinate costumes with your pup or go all out with matching costumes for a group of pup friends! Imagine the likes pouring in. Drool-worthy Halloween Treats for Dogs What’s Halloween without the treats, right? And if you follow me on Instagram @sweetlifeofcalvin, you know I’m ALL about the treats that I might even get a little treat-wasted every now and then. If your pup has a sensitive tummy, finding Halloween-themed treats might be tricky, but there are plenty of options for pups with stronger stomachs, like me. Local pet stores and barkeries usually offer some spooky cookies this time of year so make sure to check them out. In LA, we have no shortage of drool-worthy seasonal goodies from small businesses that are perfect for spoiling your pup. Content Tips: Get those spooky vibes going by putting your pup in a Halloween bandana or costume and staging a treat-tasting session. A carousel of photos with your pup’s different expressions or a reel of them chowing down is guaranteed to charm your followers. Taste Test with Dogula Make a barkuterie board with Halloween-themed treats! Show your followers the ultimate treat haul for the season. If your pup loves taste tests, you could turn it into a fun video where they try each treat and rate it. If you’re making homemade treats, share the process! Create a step-by-step recipe video and follow up with a taste test for your pup. Your followers will appreciate the behind-the-scenes look and who doesn’t love seeing a pup enjoy treats? Halloween Inspired Home Decor Okay, costumes and treats are fun, but let’s not forget about decorating for Halloween! While we don’t go all out with home decor, adding small spooky elements here and there really sets the mood for photos and videos. Sometimes, it’s just a tiny pumpkin next to me or a witch’s book propped up on my crate, but these little touches go a long way in creating those Halloween vibes. Ideas for Halloween Decor: Haunted Pup House: Turn a corner of your home, your pup’s bed or crate into a mini haunted house. A few cobwebs, skeletons, and bats which you can find at any dollar store or local arts and crafts store will do the trick! Pumpkin Patch at Home: Can’t make it to a real pumpkin patch? No problem! Pile some pumpkins and fall leaves in your living room or backyard and voilà—instant autumn vibes. Pro tip: Fake pumpkins work just as well and you can use them year after year. Spooky Yard: If you’ve got a yard, go all out with tombstones, ghosts, and skeletons. If not, find a lawn or doorstep on your next walk with a spooky setup and snap some pics with your pup! Just make sure your pup doesn’t mark the Halloween decorations. Or worse, attack the fake crows like what I did. Content Tips: Set up a mini home photoshoot! While nighttime shots seem fun and super spooky, make sure your pup is well-lit so they stay the focal point of the photo. You can always add spooky lighting in the background later. Coordinate your pup’s costume with the decor. If you’ve got skeleton decorations, why not dress your dog in a skeleton onesie to match the theme? Your feed will look cohesive and super festive. Dog-Friendly Halloween Events in Your Area For pups who love the spotlight (like me), dog-friendly Halloween events are a must! Whether it’s a Howl-O-Ween party or a pup parade, Halloween is the perfect time to show off your costumes and get all the attention. In LA, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to pet-friendly events. From parties at local pet stores to pumpkin patch meetups, there’s always something going on. I know it can be hard to keep track of all the events, so here’s how to stay updated: Follow local pet-friendly event pages and accounts for your area. They often post the latest happenings. My friends at @losangeles.pups have a complete list of pup-friendly events and breed meetups in SoCal. If you’ve RSVPed for an event before, follow those businesses on Eventbrite, Luma or Partiful to get notifications about future events. Join local Facebook groups or chat groups that focus on dog-friendly activities—members often share event details you might not find elsewhere.
