Pet owners looking for a low‑cost way to include their pets in Halloween celebrations have a new option. PetSmart announced its exclusive Thrills & Chills Halloween collection, featuring costumes and headwear priced as low as $9.99. The retailer is promoting the line as a budget‑friendly way for families to dress up their furry members without overspending on seasonal gear.
What’s available
The collection includes a variety of themed outfits for dogs and cats, ranging from classic pumpkins and spooky skeletons to playful superhero and animal‑themed designs. In addition to full costumes, PetSmart offers coordinating accessories such as bandanas, hats, and festive headbands that can be mixed and matched. All items are marketed as “budget‑friendly,” with the lowest price point set at $9.99.
How to shop
Customers can browse the full lineup on PetSmart’s website or visit participating stores. The retailer encourages shoppers to act early, noting that popular sizes tend to sell out quickly. In‑store shoppers have the advantage of trying costumes on their pets to ensure a proper fit, while online shoppers can take advantage of detailed size charts and customer reviews.

By purchasing before the holiday rush, families can secure the best selection, avoid last‑minute price hikes, and ensure their pets have a costume that fits comfortably. The retailer also highlights the convenience of finding both costumes and coordinating accessories in one place, simplifying the holiday shopping experience for pet owners.
Community response
Local pet owners have expressed enthusiasm for the affordable options. Many families appreciate the ability to include their pets in holiday traditions without breaking the bank, especially as overall holiday spending continues to rise. The collection’s price point aligns with the broader trend of consumers seeking value‑driven deals during the fall shopping season.
