If you’re not wild about any of the dog costumes out there, and a collar with pumpkins just won’t do it for you, how about if you make your own dog Halloween costumes?

I’m afraid I’m not craft-inclined, but if you enjoy a challenge, or prefer the satisfaction of making something from scratch, I have put together some patterns and other accessories you can use to create your own unique design. If you want to send in some pictures of the costumes you’ve made, I’d love to see them and might even publish them!

Welcome!

In 2015, after meeting one to many vets that didn’t have the most compassionate attitude toward senior dogs, and finding the amount of information online sorely lacking, Caring for a Senior Dog was born. Since then, CFSD has helped thousands of senior dog owners successfully navigate their dog’s golden years to keep them healthy and happy.
