Today is one of the hottest days of summer 2016 to date! We know you are likely not thinking of cooler weather, but this is a reminder that All You Need is Pug is limiting orders this fall. Due to my upcoming wedding and family events, we will close for several weeks during peak season. Place autumn & Halloween orders for dog hats & pet costumes between now and August to guarantee that your pups will be cozy this fall! We recommend that US customers place their fall orders by Labor Day. International customers should place orders for dog hats by mid-August in order to receive them before Halloween. We are closing up shop from mid-October to early November, so keep this in mind when planning Halloween & holiday purchases. We may accept orders later than these proposed dates. but we tend to get busy beginning in early August. It is best to order early to make certain that your dog’s custom clothing is ready to go! As fall approaches, keep your eye on our Facebook & Instagram for updates on our cut-off dates.

If you’re looking for Halloween inspiration for your pets, browse our shop for dozens of costume ideas! Many of our customers opt for the Bumble Bee Set or Red Baron Set as cozy options for their dogs. Others purchase dog hats like the Dinosaur Hat or Frog Hat and pair it with other items to build a one-of-a-kind costume. Last season, the Unicorn Dog Hat was our #1 best-seller for Halloween, thanks to an Etsy feature. This year, we have an idea that the Unicorn will remain popular and our new Little Beastie Dog Hats (shown above) will be another go-to choice! Many of our items are available in custom colors, so you can design a hat that is as unique as your pup. Plus, reuse your dogs’ Halloween dog hats all winter long to keep them warm as the cold creeps in. You simply can’t go wrong with cozy duds from All You Need is Pug! Head to our shop to place your order.

Halloween Safety Tips for Pets

Halloween is just a few days away, and with this spooky time of year sometimes unexpected dangers arise for pets. Here are some of our favorite Halloween safety tips to help keep your pets happy & harm-free during your Halloween festivities:

We love costumes (I mean, just look at the business we’re in!), but it’s important to remember that some pets simply do not like to dress up. If your pets appear at all upset or anxious when you put on their creepy new costumes, you should not force them to join the fun. Like humans, all dogs have different comfort levels, and it is important to respect your pet’s response to wearing clothing.
One of the biggest threats to pets on Halloween is candy! Chocolate is toxic to dogs and many artificial colors and sweeteners are also harmful. Keep candy and other Halloween treats away from pets at all times. If your pet is mischievous and will find a way to snatch food from counter tops and tables, then be sure to store it out of reach in high cabinets. Still want to give your furry friend a treat? Consider making some homemade dog-safe snacks using one of our recipes.

Trick-or-Treating is the most exciting part of this ghoulish holiday for humans, but it can be nerve racking for pets. Even dogs who tend to enjoy meeting new people can get anxious or even aggressive with large crowds of strangely dressed people swarming them. It’s fine to let your pets come out to say a quick “hello” to familiar neighbors, but you may want to consider leaving furry family members safe at home while you go out on your quest for candy. Also, be sure to keep pets in a separate room when greeting trick-or-treaters to avoid your beloved family member accidentally bolting out the door.
Jack-o-lanterns are a beautiful part of the day’s devilish decor, but be sure to keep them at a safe distance from pets, who may risk accidentally burning themselves while investigating their illuminated pumpkin pals.
Lastly, HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME! Planning your holiday with your dog’s safety in mind will help you to feel a bit more relaxed when the day arrives so that you can enjoy all of the fabulously freaky fun that will ensue.

There is still time to order your Great Pugkin cards for Halloween! If you live in the United States, order by October 23 to receive your cards in time for this delightfully wicked holiday. Whether you’re sending spooky tidings to your friends and relatives, or framing this fabulously freaky card to hang up as part of your Halloween decor, this sweet pug print is a must-have for the season. We can even customize the card with your choice of interior text if you’d like to send something personal to your favorite ghoul or little monster.

We are currently working around the clock to finish Halloween orders for custom knits! We are accepting orders for the holiday season, and recommend placing your dog hat orders early, as our cut-off date for Christmas orders will likely be in mid-November this year. We will soon be introducing two new greeting cards to our collection, including a new Santa Pugs card and our first ever Happy New Year card, so stay tuned for those. In the meantime, grab your fall paper goods from our Etsy shop and start saving our items to your “favorites” list to prepare for holiday shopping!
