Even if your pup hates wearing outfits, we've found a few costumes that we're pretty positive you can convince them to wear long enough for a picture, with a few treats as a bargaining chip, of course. Just be sure the costume doesn't interfere with your pet's sight, hearing, breathing, or mouth and you're good to go, per the American Veterinary Medical Association. And, of course, never leave your dog unattended while they are in costume or when there's candy accessible to them.
