Celebrate Day of the Dead With These 15 Etsy Finds For Your Pet!

Get your pets into the spirit of Day of the Dead, or honor the memory of an old furry friend.

Get your pets into the spirit of Day of the Dead, or honor the memory of an old furry friend. More than just Mexico's answer to Halloween, Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is essentially partying with the dead. A national holiday in Mexico, and observed in other regions in Latin America and Europe, the two-day holiday on Nov. 1 and 2 honors the departed in a celebratory manner, remembering loved ones through funny anecdotes and happy memories. Family members come together to remember the deceased by building altars and "welcoming" the spirits of loved ones home. So why should your pet be excluded from the family fun? Here are 15 great finds from Etsy that will help your kitty or pooch get festive or help you honor a dearly departed pet.

I'm especially smitten with this faux-fur-trimmed fleece Santa Paws Dog Costume ($25), but a Bearded Santa Hat ($12) is sure to elicit a chuckle or two. And for just a little bit of Xmas flair, a Red Santa Dog Scarf ($10) or a sweet knit Santa hat ($26) could be just the ticket for pets not in the full-costume mood.

Juicy Twill Trench Cape: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

The fact that I covet an item for myself doesn't mean I need to pick it up for North!

The fact that I covet an item for myself doesn't mean I need to pick it up for North! While I love the preppy front and girly back of this Juicy Couture Twill Trench Cape ($55), I don't love (cross)dressing my dog up as a lil girl pooch. While I wish this style came supersized for humans, tell me if you think this jacket is perfect for Fall . . . or if you're falling out over the price instead?

New Product Alert! Rage Against the Maltese

Aww, what did that adoro fluffy animal ever do to you?!

Aww, what did that adoro fluffy animal ever do to you?! I'm betting this clever shirt got its name based on the common letters between Maltese and machine, but still I've got nothing but love for the teacup pups. (If rage involves chasing and licking, North has a lot of that . . . toward most breeds!)

Regardless, rockin' company Rockstar Puppy recently tweeted about its new tees, and I had to check 'em out. I'm loving this one best but they've got bands of all genres. If you have any other musically inspired group/breed names or song suggestions, "Whippet good" and share in the comments below.

Trend Setters: Shikisai

I love the simple style of the Shikisai.


I love the simple style of the Shikisai. While they've got sketches for adults and toddlers, check out their pet line (extra-small to large). Using just black ink on white background, the shirts all feature line drawings of ordinary objects. While I'm not sure I've got the extra $30 at the moment, put this one on my list for things I'll invest in when the economy picks up again. I'm doodling just thinking about it.
