To Halloween With Your Dog or Not to Halloween With Your Dog… That is the Question!
The Wag Co. surveyed pet parents nationwide to see how they were preparing to celebrate Halloween with their pets. A national random sample of 1,000 U.S. adult dog or cat parents, showed that 95% of pet parents are excited for Halloween this year, and more pet parents are planning to involve their furry friend in all of the excitement.
This year, 59% of pet parents, who celebrate Halloween, plan to take their pet(s) Trick-or-Treating, and for 12% of the Trick-or-Treaters, it will be their first time. It’s no secret that now more than ever, dogs and cats are considered “family members” instead of just “pets.” And Wag!’s survey results emphasize that sentiment across the board, from festivity planning, to costume spending, and more.
A rise in pet spending has been an ongoing trend that sees no sign of slowing down. The Wag! survey found that pet parents are sparing no expense, with 55% of dog parents and 46% of cat parents anticipating the cost of their pet costume to exceed $25; and 30% of dog parents and 26% of cat parents anticipating the cost of their pet costume to exceed $50. Comparatively, 75% of pet parents anticipate the cost of their child’s costume to exceed $25, and 44% anticipate the cost of their child’s costume to exceed $50.
Happy Halloweening…
Many pet parents express concern about their dogs going missing and getting lost.
We all hear about dogs going missing from time to time, but we never want to believe it will be our dog that it may happen to. However, it’s a lot more common than people realize.
Dogily, a pet fashion brand that focuses on creating the most stylish pieces for you and your dog, has now released a new, functional collar. This collar is designed for comfort, style and to keep dog parents up-to-date on where their furry friend is at all times.
As loving and devoted pet owners, we rarely expect to lose a pet. Yet it is reported that each year, more than 10 million pets go missing in North America and more than 75 percent never return home.
The Technology
Dogily utilizes Apple’s AirTag technology that many of us have used to ‘find our keys’ or ‘find our car’ in a parking lot. They have developed the AirTag Leather Dog Collar that allows pet parents to 
add their AirTag to the collar, so they never have to worry about losing sight of their dog. The collar was invented with loving dog parents in mind first.
When a dog goes missing every second counts. Dogily’s built-in spot for an AirTag means that dogs who are wearing the AirTag Leather Dog Collar can be found faster! This can prevent dogs from being caught in dangerous situations and potentially avoid a life-altering tragedy.
