Halloween has gone to the dogs with Yellow Lab Photography and Otiboaty Boutique throwing the party of the year. See photos for creepy and cute halloween dog costumes and 15 other NZ small businesses who sponsored the fun too! We had an incredible turnout, even on a rainy day when we moved our party from Onepoto Domain and held it at Rifle Range Amphitheatre in Hobsonville Point, Auckland.
Dog halloween party in Auckland
Kirstie and Otis from Otiboaty Boutique dressed as Harry Potter Slytherin inspired wizard and witch.
Salome and Max from Yellow Lab Pet Photography dressed as spider and spider witch.
We dressed up our dogs, got a picture at a fun halloween photobooth for the gram, catch up and made new friends!
At the same time we got to show off our doggy’s tricks. We also invited a few of our favourite brands to put together prizes.
Kirstie and I put a lot of effort in to promoting and documenting our event with reels and TikToks. Make sure you check out the halloween party videos!
Dog snacks at the party
Hello Sailor Cafe sponsored the cupcakes for dogs. Their recipe is a favourite of my fussy dog Max’s. They’re in Takapuna and also make cute custom birthday cakes and cupcakes for dogs. See more photos at the dog birthday blog. They’re also in the dog friendly list of cafes in Auckland who allow dogs inside.
The Dog Schnack made all natural spooky looking cookies! Maddy was worried she made too many but there were no leftovers! The people enjoyed opening and feeding the pumpkin, bats and ghosts to their furbabies and the dogs loved the cookies too! Photo @Hulky.hulk.
