Yes, Your Cat Hates Its Lobster Costume. But It’s A $1 Billion Industry Anyway.

Halloween isn’t just for people anymore. Dear kids dressed like Buddy the Unicorn and “Disco Scooby-Doo,” if it walks like a dog and barks like a dog, it’s probably a dog in a pumpkin costume. Dogs occupy 71 million households in America, and their owners are turning pet costumes into a booming $1 billion industry. Sure, we can no longer afford gas, groceries, or health care, but Pickles’ taco ensemble will be one to remember!

CertaPet surveyed the field to uncover the most spooktacular dog and cat costumes driving the movement: dinosaur, pumpkin, and hot dog. Rounding out the rest of the top 10, we’re staying on theme with sharks, ghosts, Chucky dolls, lions, Ewoks, Scooby-Doos, and Grinches. But if those don’t quite pass your vibe check, we’ve got plenty of butt-wiggling inspiration ahead.
