We love Halloween. Dressing up in scary costumes, happy children everywhere, waiting to see what kind of monsters will appear on your doorstep next. It's great fun for the entire family. And pets are family too, so we don't want to exclude them.

We often dress them up too, and they couldn't be happier or cuter. To be honest, our pets like it because they see how delighted we are, so they are happy because we are happy.

Over the years, these pet costumes became more complex, and now some of them could easily be described as scary and adorable works of art. Proud pet owners often share their photos online, and we have compiled a list with some of the best pet Halloween costumes. We know you are going to like them.

But keep in mind that there is a different side to this story. The pets in our photos are happy, but not all animals enjoy this mascaraed. PETA UK, for instance, advises people against dressing up their pets in costumes

You should never force your pet to wear a costume if it bothers it. RSPCA says that our pets use delicate body language to communicate with other animals.

When you dress your pet up and cover their body parts, it can make them feel uncomfortable. Avoid costumes that restrict an animal’s range of motion, obscure their vision, or block their mouth.

Pets give out some obvious signals that they're distressed – they are shaking, crouching, or trying to get rid of the costume. But there are also some subtle indications – dogs are tuck their tails, and cats flick their tails. If you see them doing this, it's time to take the costume off.

PETA UK's Director, Elisa Allen, had this to say to people who dress up their pets for Halloween: "Dress up yourself, but please leave animals out of it.

They feel uncomfortable, confused, and stressed when they're forced into costumes, and we've even heard of dogs and cats choking or running away, never to be seen again."

"PETA strongly cautions that costumes with tight rubber bands can cut off circulation and that long or trailing parts can get caught on objects—with potentially disastrous consequences—making Halloween night feel like a trick, not a treat."
