It looks like Americans won't be forgetting their fur kids this Halloween. They're getting in on the costume action in a big way.

The National Retail Federation says pet owners are expected to spend 370-million dollars to dress up Fido and Fluffy this year. That's 40-million more than last year.

Demand is also growing for complementary costumes designed for dogs and kids. Like football player and cheerleader outfits or Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad.
