Winning Pet Costumes

Do you ever feel like your pet deserves more than just a plain white sheet on Halloween? Sure, dressing your dog up like a ghost is more than most people do, but really, you couldn’t think of a better idea?

I’m a huge fan of classic costumes, but when it comes to the comfort of your pet I think there are plenty of awesome costumes that keep your dogs mobility in mind, while making them look awesome.

Here are some winning pet costume ideas:

  1. Scuba dog costumes are both elaborate and fun to design. Looking for mini flippers and a loose pair of snorkeling goggles may seem overwhelming, but with a quick Google search you can find plenty of inexpensive options.
  2. Sailor pets look dashing in their red and white stripes with blue skirts or pants. You can even make a mini sailors hat out of white felt. This is one of my all time favorite pet costumes. It’s incredibly versatile!
  3. Cowboy dogs and cats crack me up. Mini gun holsters and cowboy hats perched on happy pets will warm even the crankiest of neighbors.
  4. Red Riding Hood is a good costume for the pet that doesn’t like to be dressed up. It’s easy to tie on, it doesn’t interfere with overall movement, and it’s adorable.
  5. If you have a mini dog, like a Chihuahua or tea-cup poodle, you might consider dressing them up as a green caterpillar. Caterpillar costumes come in bright greens and yellows and help your pet stay visible even in the dark of Halloween night.
