Halloween Fun With Your Pets: Tips From Swan Harbor Urgent Care

Halloween isn’t just for humans—it’s a holiday your pets can enjoy too! At Swan Harbor Urgent Care in Baltimore, we love seeing our furry patients get in on the spooky fun. From pet-safe Halloween treats to adorable costumes, here are some ways to make October 31st unforgettable for both you and your pets.

🎭 Pet Costume Ideas

Pet costumes are one of the best parts of Halloween. A few favorites we’ve seen at our hospital include:

• Pumpkin pups & spooky cats – classic, adorable, and Instagram-worthy.

• Food-themed outfits – tacos, hot dogs, or sushi rolls are always a hit.

• Superhero pets – because who doesn’t love a cape?

👉 Tip: Choose costumes that are lightweight, allow easy movement, and avoid anything that covers the eyes, mouth, or nose.

🍪 Halloween Treats for Pets

While chocolate and candy are dangerous for pets, you can still spoil them with festive, safe treats.

• Try pet-friendly pumpkin biscuits (great for digestion).

• Look for Halloween-themed treats at local Baltimore pet shops.

• Make frozen “pumpkin pup pops” by mixing plain pumpkin puree with dog-safe yogurt.

📸 Costume Contest at Downtown Dog Resort

At Downtown Dog Resort, we host our Halloween Daycare Party, drop off for daycare in the morning, dressed up in your best dog costume, and receive a free day of daycare and the best costume will Win a WEEK of Free Daycare.
