KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- Everyone wants to get in the Halloween spirit, even pets.

The dogs at the Lindquist Veterinary Care Center were barking with joy as they posed for the camera in their Halloween costumes.

The veterinary center held its first ever pet costume contest.

The staff took pictures of all the animals that came in with their costumes on.

The winner will get coupons for his or her pet’s next visit.

The clinic will announce the winner on Facebook and on its website on November 5, and it will be posted in the lobby.
