Pet Owners Use Non-Toxic Face Paint To Turn Their Animals Into Creepy Skeletons For Halloween
If you’ve always wanted to try dressing up your pet with some of your Halloween costume ideas, but have a feeling that they would highly object being clad up for a show, painting their fur might be a great solution!
Using non-toxic pet-safe face paint can be a great way to turn your furry friend into a Halloween costume monstrosity without putting them through the potential discomfort of a cloth costume. Artist Bryn Anderson’s dog Nixie is an excellent example of these dog costumes and just how cute and creepy a skeleton dog can be!
The most critical step is to have non-toxic paint that is safe for animals to ingest in case they start to lick it. Numerous brands sell such colors, and there are online tutorials on how to make your own perfectly safe paint if you don’t trust those brands. A good rule of thumb is that if the paint is kid-safe, it’s probably pet-safe too.
The next step is the inspiration! Painting your pet with a skeleton is a great idea, but there are plenty of other awesome designs that can be done for pet Halloween costumes!

"What do you think ?" Well as long as the paint is non-toxic and the animals agree (in their way) I think it's okay. But it sure is cool!
That looks super cool and is a wonderful way to "dress up" your pet without putting them through the hassle of actual clothing. Well done!
Now this would be a perfect pet to go trick or treating with your kid.
I ike the one with the woman holding the neck of the horse, quite beautiful.
I see stupid people use craft paint as 'face paint' on kids all the time. Now the same dummies are using it on animals. Get REAL face paint!
^ 14 years as Professional Face and Body Painter. Non-Toxic does NOT mean safe for skin (or fur). LOOK IT UP. What you want is cosmetic.
sooooo going to do this with my rottweilers, theyre not happy "wearing" stuff but this will so work and being black....perfect!
Please only use real face paint. The author of this doesn't seem to know what "non-toxic" doesn't mean what they think it means!!!!

I wonder if there is a non-toxic glow in the dark paint you could use. That would be awesome running around on halloween.
non toxic isn't even safe for childrens skin, no really look it up. Only REAL face paint should be used, not poster paint.

Would my dogs like it. No. But if your pet agrees and is not harmed by the paint I think that it is a really fun and creative thing to do.
Such a happy "skeleton-dog"! Reminds me of the characters in Corpse Bride!
cool, i like it, really funny, but don´t let it become the new selfie...
In Western Ma., it's always a good idea to paint your dog orange during hunting season.... although even that didn't always work.
i was browsing over the net on ideas how to make a panda costume for my pet and i stumbled upon this lol and it was great idea!
It would be great if you can find non-toxic glow in the dark paint. Then take the dog out with the kids and they would always know were you
Non-Toxic does NOT mean safe for skin (or fur). Always use REAL face paint made for use on skin, NEVER use poster paint!
