The post A Note on Fall & Halloween Dog Hat Orders appeared first on All You Need Is Pug.

• 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.

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!

Hello, October! The leaves are changing, the pumpkin-flavored goodies are popping up at every local food joint, and the dogs are getting ready to don their jackets and costumes. We are knitting up a storm and working around the clock to create the Halloween costumes that our wonderful customers have ordered for the upcoming holiday. We are thrilled to announce that this has been our busiest fall season to date. We even had to close acceptance of Halloween orders before the date that we originally selected as our cut-off point! We are honored that so many of you have chosen All You Need is Pug to help you celebrate this wonderfully witchy and ghoulish holiday!

While we cannot squeeze in any more orders for custom Halloween knits, you can still add a bit of pugly cuteness to your October with our selection of fall greeting cards. Our collection includes The Great Pugkin Card and the Curious Pug & Pumpkin Card. Both items can be customized with your choice of text to add a personal touch and make the cards uniquely your own. Visit our Etsy shop to grab your pug stationery and send us an Etsy message if you would like custom paper goods designed just for you!

All of these features have been incredible in helping our small business to reach people around the world. While it is wonderful to have received so much attention in such a short period of time, we have had to cut Halloween orders off early due to the current high order volume. Please be aware that as of September 16, our Halloween orders are closed. Any orders placed after September 16 cannot be guaranteed to arrive in time for Halloween. While your dog may not get to enjoy a new hat in time for this ghoulishly fun holiday, we can assure you that he or she will appreciate it come winter! Our holiday orders tend to get cut off early as well, so we recommend placing your orders as soon as possible to avoid missing out this holiday season. Visit our Etsy shop if you would like to browse our product line or get in touch with us in regards to placing an order.
