Check Out Adorable Dogs in Halloween Costumes From Dog-O-Ween 2025

It was a fun Sunday in Cedar Rapids and Coralville! Theisen's locations in both cities held their annual Dog-O-Ween competitions, and Brain and I were honored to be this year's hosts!

Before we get to the winners, we just wanted to give a big thanks to Tails in Transit and the Cedar Valley Humane Society for joining us at both Theisen's locations this year, and to all of the people who came out to show their support. First and foremost, Dog-O-Ween is about raising money for amazing local rescues and shelters. Oh, and a quick shout out to local business Kaitlyn's Pupcakes for coming out to the Coralville location to sell her homemade dog treats, as well! My dog Tater was very excited to get a pupcake Sunday afternoon. I think it made up for the fact that I smelled like 20 other pups when I got home...
