Halloween dog toys are how your pup joins in without wearing anything. Petco stocks plush pumpkins and ghosts, skeleton rope tugs, squeaky bats and durable chew toys shaped like candy corn and spiders, sized from toy breeds up to large dogs. Good for a distraction while the doorbell keeps ringing.
Choose based on chewing style rather than size alone. Plush is best for gentle players and gets destroyed fast by power chewers, who do better with rubber or rope. Pick a toy large enough that your dog can't swallow it, check it regularly for tears, and take it away once stuffing or squeakers start showing through.
Large dogs do best with durable rubber chew toys and thick rope tugs rather than plush, which comes apart quickly. Choose a size that your dog can't fit entirely in their mouth. Halloween themed rubber toys and rope tugs are widely available in large and XL sizes.
Squeaky toys are safe for supervised play with most dogs, but the squeaker itself is a choking hazard if your dog tears the toy open. Watch your dog with any new squeaky toy and remove it as soon as the outer layer is damaged.
A new toy gives your dog something to focus on while the doorbell rings repeatedly, which is one of the more stressful parts of the night for many dogs. Setting your dog up in a quiet room with a chew toy or stuffed puzzle toy can reduce barking and anxiety.
