Last year, Victor celebrated Halloween as Sushi. That’s right. A cute piece of sushi that served as both puffy jacket while he walked a strike picket line with me (yup) and weathered the rain at a Halloween Dog Walk fundraiser along Hamilton, Ontario’s Bay Front Park.

This Halloween, we shake it up. He’s a unicorn. 

Yes, thanks to the folks at Pet Krewe pet costumes for sending us a unicorn costume to review, Victor is feeling magical and mythical. Designed in New Oreleans, Pet Krewe offers an assortment of holiday pet costumes from sailors to spiders, pirates to Santa Clause and some for cats too!

It took me a few tries to figure out these costume head pieces have two draw strings – one for around the neck and one for around he face. You need to tighten both for the costume to stay on.

Plus, not being one to follow instructions, I initially missed some helpful hints on the package: tie the cords prior to putting the custom on … tie the cords into bows after you’ve got the hat in place. We’ll give that a try trick or treating.

In the meantime …. here’s some of Victor’s friends ‘unleashing the parade’ and giving Pet Krewe Unicorn Costume a try:

Buster, the farm dog, good-natured about the experience, but was having nothing to do with getting dressed up….

Sasha, Victor’s best gal pal was characteristically easy-going, indulgent and willing to poise as a mythical half elk, half unicorn creature of lore….
