MAUMEE, Ohio — Trick-or-treat has really gone to the dogs.

If you thought Halloween costumes were just for kids, or even just for humans, a lot of costumed pets had a surprise in store for you Saturday.

Three Dog Bakery, the pet treat company with locations in Toledo and Perrysburg hosted a Halloween costume contest for pets at the Toledo Humane Society.

Participants donated to the shelter to enter their well-dressed companions in a Halloween costume contest and parade dubbed Growl-a-Ween.

Costume-contest categories included cutest, best store-bought, best homemade, most original and best human-pet-duo costume.

This was the fifth year for the event. 

Humans are getting their own costumes ready for this year's trick-or-treat as Halloween approaches. For a schedule of trick-or-treat hours for Toledo-area communities, click here.
