20 million people dress their pets up for Halloween
Pets have busy social calendars these days and they have full closets as well. Costumes for dogs and cats are becoming more popular.
The National Retail Federation estimates that 20 million pet owners will dress their pets this Halloween, spending 350 million dollars on the costumes.
The online marketplace eBay had 1.5 million pet costumes for sale on Oct. 21 out of 800 million items listed for sale, with 159 million active customers in 200 countries, said Zoher Karu, Vice President of Global Optimization and Data for eBay.
Pet costumes represent 2 percent of Costume SuperCenter’s sales. The company sells nothing but costumes and accessories on eBay and other sites.
