Pets at Home have launched an exclusive pamper package this Halloween so that your pooch can enjoy a relaxing spa treatment before trick-or-treating.
When was the last time we involved our four legged friends in a pre-party pamper? This year, Pets at Home are out to change that and are offering a new spa treatment themed around the spooky season.
No tricks for your dog here, only treats are available with their new special canine Halloween spa package. Running throughout the month, an additional £8 at The Groom Room gives pups of all size access to a number of unique treatments.
These include: use of a special Halloween shampoo and spritz (although the exact scent of Halloween has just not been revealed, we imagine it smells spooky and refreshing); a blueberry facial; teeth cleaning and a foamy breath cleaning gel.

To ensure that a full head-to-paw pamper relaxes your dog, the package also includes nose balm and paw balm: perfect for the colder months when their skin might be getting a little drier as it adapts to the weather.
Once your dog has been thoroughly treated inside the spa, all participating dogs and puppies will receive a free spooky bandana. However, if owners do insist on dressing up their canine in full Halloween fancy dress, there are plenty of other outfits to choose from too.
For example, a long-standing Pets at Home favourite is their pumpkin outfit and only costs an additional £8. There are also a range of other spooktacular costumes, including: pumpkin knitted jumpers, witches hats, bat wings and giant spider outfits.
If your dog would rather take on the creepy crawlies than dress up as one, Pets at Home have got a range of ghoulish toys in the shapes of monsters, pumpkins, snakes, even a scary squeaking hot dog.
There are lots of Halloween themed treats and toys in store. / Image: Pets at Home

Steven Foster, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, said: “We’re so excited to be welcoming Jerk Junction to Trinity Kitchen and we’re sure it will prove very popular. Bringing an authentic Caribbean flavour to Leeds, it’s the perfect new addition and complements our already stellar line-up of street food vendors.”
Jake Shaffi, founder at Jerk Junction, said: “Jerk Junction is all about real Caribbean food and culture. Everything we do is rooted in Jamaican tradition, from bold spices and authentic cooking to dishes that bring people together.
“For us, food is family. From our kitchen to every person who comes to our counter, we want people to feel the warmth, the energy and the spirit of the islands. We can’t wait to bring those authentic flavours and good vibes to Trinity Kitchen.”
The announcement follows news that the UK’s largest independent boutique bowling brand Lane7, and footwear retailers schuh and Footasylum, would be opening at Trinity Leeds later this year, whilst the LEGO Store will be relocating to a larger space within the shopping centre.
Posting to their social media, The Maven said: "When news broke The Maven could close its doors at the end of March, the reaction across the city was immediate. The response from customers, bartenders, and hospitality operators showed just how much this bar means to Leeds.
"For nearly 15 years, The Maven has been one of the city’s most loved cocktail destinations and a true institution within the local bar scene.
"When we told you about its potential closure we were flooded with support and interest from across the hospitality community. In the days that followed, several Leeds-based operators stepped forward with genuine offers to buy the venue and keep the bar alive.
"At a time when our industry is too often filled with stories of closures, today brings a little hope - a story about a community stepping up to protect something it values.
"The reports that The Maven would close at the end of March are now firmly in the past: The Maven Lives.
"Thanks to the passion of the Leeds hospitality community and the loyalty of its guests, the bar will continue to be part of the city’s nightlife story. More details about the next chapter for The Maven will be shared soon."
