Pet Costume Contest

Hi, I’m Lucy from Paws & Whiskers Pet Club. Join us for a fun-filled Halloween Pet Costume Contest with creative outfits and exciting prizes!

There are three ways to enter. Best Costume celebrates a standout outfit and awards a $100 pet-store gift card. For matching looks, Best Pet-and-Owner Duo offers a grooming session worth $80. If your costume takes a playful approach, Funniest Look could win a hamper of dog toys and treats worth $60. Each dog enters one category, so choose the one that best fits your idea.

Once you’ve chosen your category, check in between 1 and 1:30 p.m. to collect your entry number. The contest starts at 2, with each owner leading their dog along a short display route and pausing for a photo. Judges score costume creativity, presentation, and how comfortably the outfit fits; your dog won’t need to perform tricks. Winners are announced at 3, and you can take a break in the quiet rest area whenever your dog needs one.

Join us on October 31, from 1 to 4 p.m., in the enclosed courtyard at Paws & Whiskers Pet Club, 48 Oak Lane, Portland. Entry costs $15 per dog and includes one contest category, a digital photo, and a treat bag. Register through the club’s Halloween event page or at reception by October 29. Keep your dog on a leash and choose a costume that allows normal movement, breathing, and vision.

Register by October 29, choose your category, and bring your Halloween look to Paws & Whiskers. We look forward to welcoming you and your dog.
