In my opinion, the childrens' costumes are just downright creepy. Who would want their baby to look like the main course for Thanksgiving dinner?

Vincent, however, is downright adorable as a fragile flower.

Vincent is so cute,some pet kids enjoy the dress-up thing, Our kids enjoy the holiday dress-up. But Babies dress like Food, Hey that is sick.

Those who care to share their pics are fee to do so. Send us the URL to your favorite Halloween pics past and present. It's ok if they're not creepy. Better, I think.

I used to work as a trainer at Petsmart. Worst day of the year for us was the costume contest day. The pets looked miserable, and some of the owners took it SO seriously.

Some dogs tolerate costumes. I personally like the cute collars like vincent was wearing. But really, is it really worth it to dress your dog up, and drag it to a store in hopes of winning a $5 gift card?

I used to swear I would never be one of those people who dresses my dog, but... she really likes it. Of course, her "clothes" consist of a jacket, a towel that she thinks is clothing, and a pumpkin costume similar to the jacket. The jacket was $3 on close-out, and she has short fur/ thin skin. When it's chilly, I'll put her coat on before she goes out, and she gets excited and bouncy. Then she began running around wearing her towel after we dried her off from rainy excursions. Now she has a pumpkin costume and seems to enjoy it.

On the other hand my cats hate costumes. I have a recent picture of one of them wearing a miniature baseball helmet and scowling menacingly.

SO MY DOG WAS DIGNOSED MAYBE SHEFFART SHAFT POSITION I DONT KNOW FOR SURE THE NAME ITS WHEN THE DOG LAYS ON SIDE FRONT LEGS ARE ALWAYS STRAIGHT CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO GET THE NAME OF THAT SYSTMPOM THANKS

OK the chicken alien costume is freaky but pretty darn funny. All the more so because of the kids facial expression! Perfect! The kid as lobster in a pot is kinda cute.

Vincent is adorable as always.

Not a huge fan of pet costumes but that said some dogs love the extra attention and don't care. I say take your cue from the pet you have.

In full disclosure I have been looking for a suit jacket for a perfect "Agent J" costume for years now. (think Frank the pug from MIB)

We are saying no to Halloween costumes, thank you very much. We are dogs and not dolls.

Jasmine and J.D.

Neither of my Boston Terriers like costumes or clothing.
I put a Halloween costume on Tess the first year I had her. She hated it. It was on for 10 minutes to take pictures. You should see the pictures! She's in HELL. Never again.

Harpo removes all clothing or coats himself within 10 seconds and then will help Tess remove her coat...so now we go without.

Dr. Khuly,

I emailed you some photos of my Tess in her Halloween costume.

Heather.

Can you explain what, exactly, is "creepy" about the dog in the Jack Sparrow costume? Aside, of course, from the fact that the dog doesn't look at all unhappy or uncomfortable, which apparently conflicts with your ideas.

The baby costumes are all creepy, because you went to some effort to find creepy examples.

Some dogs, many dogs, don't like clothing and are unhappy in it. Other dogs don't mind at all and love the extra attention they get. I don't think I've ever met a cat that liked playing dress-up, but then, I haven't met any Sphinx cats, and they might have a different opinion.

My own won't walk in the rain without her raincoat, appreciates boots when there's snow and ice (and salt) on the ground, and on chilly days comes running when I get her jacket out. She's totally cool with wearing cute outfits to the nursing home when we visit, too.

But then, I've never dressed her up as the main course for dinner, either.

I think it's the no underwear thing. Freaky. Just me, I guess.

You know, as little as dogs need clothes, I think they need underwear even less. :)
