10 "Hocus Pocus"-Themed Pet Toys And Accessories
Do you love spooky season? The 1993 Disney classic "Hocus Pocus" is the perfect Halloween movie watch with your pets while curled up on the couch (one of the characters is an immortal black cat, after all). With the sequel streaming on Disney+ starting September 30, now is the time to stock up on "Hocus Pocus"-themed pet toys and accessories to make this Halloween hex-tra special. From food bowls to collars to scratchers, stans of the Sanderson sisters (and their pets) will be bewitched by these frightful finds.
What to consider when purchasing pet toys and accessories
Sizing: Closely check the sizing for any toys or accessories that you are purchasing for your dog or cat. Even if your pet wears a specific size in one brand that doesn't mean they will wear the same size in another. Examine size charts and measure your pet if necessary to ensure you purchase the right-sized toy or accessory.
Supervision: Always supervise your dog or cat when they are playing with toys or wearing certain types of accessories. If left to their own devices, your dog or cat could get tangeld in an accessory or ingest part of a toy that could result in a medical emergency.
Comfort: If you're purchasing any wearable accessories for your pet, make sure that your dog or cat is comfortable wearing it. You might want to opt for seasonal versions of the accessories that your dog or cat wears daily, such as a collar, ID tag, or bandanna. Always make sure that the accessories don't interfere with your pet's normal movement. If your pet is displaying any signs of discomfort, discontinue use of the accessory.
Delivery: Many of these "Hocus Pocus"-themed accessories for dogs and cats are handmade. Some of the products are made to order, so plan ahead if you would like the toy or accessory to arrive before October. During the Halloween rush, delivery times may be longer than usual.
