🎃 Canine Halloween Costume Showdown — We Need Your Vote!

Halloween at The Canine Project® is always a highly anticipated event. Co-founders Jan Sprung and Nancy Novograd love celebrating the season with their pups —and this year’s costume options are all too cute, making it hard to decide on one for the big canine Halloween party.

From classic hot dogs to roaring lions, spooky bats, and charming chefs, Cosmo and Bailey strutted the Halloween runway looking so good in all the spooky outfit options. Picking a favorite costume is impossible!

So this year, we’re asking for your help to decide. Head to our Instagram to help us choose the best Halloween look for each pup.

Cosmo’s Classic Halloween Looks

Hot Diggity Dog!

Cosmo kicks off the Halloween Fashion Show in a hot dog costume—a timeless favorite that always gets a lot of smiles and laughs.  Thanks to a few spritzes of DAILY RE:FRESH.® spray he smells more like the spa vs a BBQ.

Count Dogula!

Cosmo looks fabulous in his purple vampire costume. He may look like a vampire dog, but he smells nothing like a crypt.

Mr. Post Dog

Special delivery of Halloween cuteness in this mailman costume. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor muddy paws will stop this postman from his rounds.

Halloween Pupkin

Pumpkin Spice? Check. Cuteness? Check. This dog pumpkin costume is the perfect look for the season.

Bonus Costume: Caine Wizard 

Add a wizard hat to the purple vampire cape and presto: He’s a canine wizard!

To make Cosmo look perfectly groomed for his Halloween shoot,  Jan keeps Cosmo looking polished and photo-ready with DAILY RE:FRESH® Spray — a light spritz hydrate and cleanses his skin and coat so he is perfectly groomed for every outfit change, no bath required.

“Cosmo’s ready for his close-up no matter how many costumes he tries on. He looks perfect and smells Ahh-mazing!” Jan said.

Bailey’s Dog Costumes

Bailey makes a bold entrance with her lion costume. She’s our queen of the jungle.

Bailey’s next look is a classic: BAT GIRL! 🦇 Look at these wings… she’s ready to swoop through the neighborhood for treats.

Top Dog Chef Bailey! She loves homemade treats🧁 from the oven. And obviously, cleanup after taste-testing with BEST BARKIN’ WIPES® is essential.

All of these Halloween dog costumes can sometimes rub against her skin, especially around the neck and belly. That’s why Nancy keeps BEYOND THE FUR® Vital Skin Therapy Spray on hand to soothe and hydrate Bailey’s skin if it gets irritated after all that dress-up.

“Bailey loves dress-up, but her skin can get a little sensitive. A quick spritz of BEYOND THE FUR® calms everything down fast,” Nancy shared.

Whether your dog is dressing up as a vampire, lion, chef, or hot dog, these grooming and skincare essentials make Halloween easier for both dogs and their humans:

• DAILY RE:FRESH® Spray — Instantly neutralizes odors, cleanses and freshens coats between baths, leaving dogs skin and coat hydrated with a spa-like scent without masking odors.
• BEST BARKIN’ WIPES® — Ideal for face wipes, paw cleanups, and on-the-go grooming.
• BEYOND THE FUR® Spray — Soothes irritated, itchy skin from costume fabrics, dry patches, or fall allergens.
