Halloween is just around the corner—time to bring a little magic into your dog's life! 🎃🐾

While you're thinking about your costume, decorations, and spooky festivities, why not include your furry friend? This way, you can celebrate Halloween safely, fun-filled—and maybe even with a little bit of mystical fortune-telling—with The Pet Oracle !


1. Pumpkin treats for your dog

Pumpkins aren't just for carving; they're also a delicious and healthy snack for your dog! Packed with vitamins and fiber, pumpkin can be a great addition to your dog's diet.

Recipe for Halloween pumpkin treats:

Ingredients:

  • 240 ml pumpkin puree (pure, not pumpkin pie mix)

  • 100 g oat or spelt flour

  • 1 egg

  • 60 ml water (as needed to make the dough fit)

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C.

  2. Mix everything in a bowl to form a dough.

  3. Roll out the dough and cut out small Halloween shapes – pumpkins, bones, ghosts…

  4. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

  5. Let it cool completely and then your dog can snack!


2. DIY costumes with a magical touch

Why should only we humans have fun with costumes? Your dog can rock their own look, too. Here's a simple DIY idea: bat wings— comfortable, quick to make, and super cute.

Material:

  • Black construction paper or foam rubber

  • Scissors

  • Hot glue or tape

  • Elastic band (fits around the chest like a harness)

  • A bit of glitter or paint for extra magic (optional)

Directions:

  1. Cut out wings from construction paper or foam rubber.

  2. Attach the wings to the elastic band so that it fits comfortably around your dog's chest.

  3. If you like, you can add glitter or fluorescent paint for an extra spooky effect.

  4. Put on the wings, done – now your dog can proudly strut around the Halloween party!


3. Future Interpretation with The Pet Oracle

This Halloween, you can take the mystical spirit to a new level: Let your dog participate in The Pet Oracle ! A playful, magical way to share a little future magic.

Here's how:

  1. Prepare the oracle: Set up a Pet Oracle board (or create a DIY version with favorite treats). If you don't have one yet, simply lay out some treats and let your dog choose.

  2. Ask a magical question: For example, “What Halloween adventure awaits us?” or “Which spooky treat should we make next?”

  3. Interpret the response: Refer to the guide (or interpret it creatively yourself) and see what message the treat conveys. Each moment can be playful or profound—whatever you prefer!

Pro tip: Invite friends and their dogs over and let them take turns predicting the oracle messages – twice the fun!


4. Safety first: Halloween tips for dogs

  • Sweets & Chocolate: Keep everything out of reach – chocolate is poisonous to dogs.

  • Costume comfort: The costume should neither restrict movement nor cause stress. Keep it simple!

  • Decoration: No small parts, cords, or lights that your dog could chew.

  • Keep calm: Some dogs don't like loud noises or crowds. Set up a quiet corner if things get too busy.


5. Share the magic of Halloween

Halloween is a time for the mystical, playful, and unique. Whether you're enjoying treats, crafting magical costumes, or exploring the future with The Pet Oracle, the most important thing is to celebrate time with your dog.

One last spooky thought:
If your dog could predict the future, what would they say about your Halloween night? With The Pet Oracle by your side, you might find out… and discover a little bit of magic along the way. ✨🐾
