Halloween is right around the corner, but if you haven’t quite finalized your costume choice, don’t worry; we’ve got you covered… at least when it comes to what costume your pet should wear. Your costume? Hey, how about going as a veterinarian?

And let’s take a moment for some Real Talk here. No matter what results you receive, always put your pet’s comfort and safety first. Walking your costumed pet around the block while everyone is out in costume might sound like a fun idea, but not if your furry friend is wearing something she doesn’t like or is frightened by the unusual appearances of trick-or-treaters. When in doubt, it’s never a bad idea keep your pet at home — costume-free and in a safe space, maybe even by your side. After all, you need somebody to keep you company while you watch Ghostbusters for the 48th time, right?.

Fall means two things: pumpkin spice everything and football! (Okay, fine – also pretty leaves on trees… and tick season. Ugh.)

But let’s go back to football for a second. Have you ever thought about what role your pet might play on a football team? Sometimes it seems pretty obvious – I once had a dog who we actually called her Yuki “Percy Harvin” Seymour because she had moves nearly identical to the Gators’ wide receiver at that time. But if you have a gentle lap kitty or chatty budgie, it might not be an easy decision.

That’s why we created this fun (and fast!) quiz. Just answer five simple questions to find out how your pet might contribute to the team. And no, you don’t need to know the difference between a quarterback and a cornerback to participate. (Although you should know that they do both exist and they are different positions — trust me, I checked!)
