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

After making a name for itself over in Leeds city centre, Alfonso's Deli 2.0 has touched down in Horsforth.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonso's Deli in Leeds' beautiful Grand Arcade serve up some of the best sandwiches in the city.
They've built up such a good reputation in fact, that they have now opened a second deli in the up-and-coming suburb of Horsforth.
Located in a prime location on New Side Road, this deli has a slightly different look to their original space, complete with a beautiful red awning and stuffed to the brim with American memorabilia.

Here you can find fresh Cuban coffee which goes wonderfully with their authentic toasted Cubano sandwiches, perfectly crafted with their house-made bread which are then pressed made-to-order.
New for Horsforth, they're now serving New York deli sandwiches on brand-new house schiacciata bread.
And the bread is as fresh as it gets, made in their own bakery downstairs alongside a selection of New York deli bakes.

Stuffed with toppings such as smoked deli meats, cold cuts, fresh cheese and whatever else you fancy.
Oh and it doesn't stop there, you can also buy a cigar if you fancy it alongside a selection of merch, hot sauces and provisions like tinned fish.
So whether you're stopping by on your way to work for a morning coffee or treating yourself to a stellar sandwich for your lunch, Alfonso's Deli is here to whisk you away to Miami for the afternoon.

They're officially opening their doors to the public this Thursday 15 October, and we just know it's going to go down and absolute storm.
Make sure to pop down and give them a big warm welcome to the neighbourhood.
A 1970s-inspired cocktail bar is coming to Leeds this month from the team behind some of the city’s best bars
Clementine Hall
We've been waiting a while for this one - and it's finally here.
If you know a thing or two about cocktails, or just drinks in general, then you're going to be just as excited as us.
The very talented team behind Roland's and The Domino Club, just to name a few, are setting their sites on a brand-new venture.
Introducing Paper Plane, an intimate new cocktail bar that will be taking over the old Casa site in the city's beautiful Grand Arcade.
Paper Plane will be inspired by the glamour of 1970s air travel and will be a vinyl-only listening bar, serving a world-inspired cocktail menu alongside a carefully curated whisky collection.
The space will be lovely and intimate, with around just 40 covers, designed to transport guests somewhere completely different from the minute they step foot through the door.
And what a location too, joining a whole host of fantastic independents in the arcade such as Alfonso's Deli, Stuzzi and Sonder.
Not only has Roland's been consistently one of the busiest bars on Call Lane since they opened back in 2014, but The Domino Club was recently crowned one of the best cocktail bars in the world. Now that is some accolade worth shouting about.
Paper Plane was announced all the way back in July, and just this week they have announced their official opening date.
Paper Plane will be opening its doors on Thursday 29 October, and we can't wait to welcome them to the city. We'll definitely see you there for a cocktail or two (or three).
Keep an eye for further updates via their Instagram page here.
