5 ways to celebrate Halloween with your dog

Halloween is all about treats, but not all of them are doggy-proof. Whip up some homemade dog cookies or hide their favorite snacks around the house. Let the sniffing begin! James’ tip: found a snack? Sit, give paw, claim your prize. It’s called trick or treat for a reason.

Not in the mood to bake your own dog treats? De Koekwinkel has you covered with the cutest creations! And with code JAMES10, you’ll get a sweet discount too.

Matching outfits? Yes please! Or keep it simple with a Halloween bandana. Need some props? Your Dog’s Boutique, Micky’s Favorites, Action or HEMA always have fun stuff. And a Halloween costume from the kids’ section at Zara? Always a win! Snap a pic with some pumpkins or in a spooky forest… and boom: Halloween vibes on point!

Go for an evening walk with a lantern in hand and a little light clipped to your dog’s collar. Pack your Stanley with something warm, grab snacks for both of you, and enjoy the crisp air. Run into other dressed-up dogs? Bonus. If not, you’re still the coolest duo out there.

Cut open a small pumpkin (don’t forget to remove the seeds!) and stash some treats inside. Let your dog sniff, dig, and explore – it’s basically Halloween enrichment. James rated it a solid 10/10, complete with pumpkin whiskers.
