Halloween isn’t just for children and adults anymore; many are including their pets in the annual tradition. In fact, dressing your pet up in a Halloween costume means BIG business for retailers, as consumers are expected to drop big cash to outfit Fido and occasionally his feline counterpart this year. 

According to a recent National Retail Federation survey, consumers are expected to spend a record $310 million this year on pet costumes.

Here at Patch, we embrace all pets, and want to see what costume your pet will be sporting for Halloween!

We want to see those pets in costume, so post your photos and you could win a $50 gift card!

You have until Oct. 28 to upload the best photo of your pet in costume.

Here’s how to enter:

• Simply click the green "Upload Your Photos and Videos" button above and upload your image (but first make sure you’re a registered Patch user).

• In the caption, let us know the name of your pet and all the details about the costume. We’d also love to know where you’re from and any other information you think we should know.

Patch editors will choose our 10 favorite pictures, and then you, the reader, can vote for the winner in the comments section of an article that will be posted on Oct. 29. We will be taking your votes through 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 2. The winner will receive a $50 gift card.
