Fun Pet Halloween Costumes: It’s Time to Start Thinking of Ideas
Halloween is just around the corner and if you enjoy dressing up and dressing up your pet, here are some fun Halloween Costumes ideas. If you have great ideas of images of your own to share, feel free to add to the ‘Comments’ section below!
Small Dog Pet Costumes
Dressing up your small dog is often easier than finding costumes for larger dogs. When deciding on your pet costume, determine which theme you want to go with. Will it be an entire family theme, or just something for your pets to share?
Dog costumes are often broken out into the following categories: TV and Movies, Classic, Animals, Holiday, Pirate, Princess, Sports and Superhero. Depending on your own interests and preferences as well as your dog’s build, finding a costume that perfectly represents you and your pet can be fun.
Here are just a few of our favorites:
- Casual Canine Taco
- Minions (from Despicable Me)
- Beetlejuice characters
- UPS Dog (with a special dog treat delivery)
- Einstein Dog
- Chia Pet
Large Dog Costumes
There are a number of costumes for larger dogs. Love Star Wars? There is a whole line of costumes for large dogs that are completely Star Wars related, including:
- Big Dog Darth
- R2-D2
- The Princess Leia Buns-Dog-Headband
Not a fan of Star Wars? Here are just a few of our other favorite costumes for larger dogs. Most of these costumes can be created by you, at home:
- Lion Dog (take an old mop, run it through the washing machine and craft a mane for your pooch)
- Ballerina (a tu-tu will fit most any pup)
- Super Dog (choose your favorite hero with a cape – Superman, Batman, Robin)
Cat Costumes
Cats, if willing, can also be dressed up for Halloween. Cat in the Hat cat costume – you bet. How about Puss ‘N’ Boots? You can either buy costumes pre-made or make your own. There are a number of ideas on websites such as Pinterest to give you some great ideas to play around with. Recently, we saw one creative person crochet a Princess Leah wig for her cat, and put the cat in a white gown. Love Yoda? There is even a costume for cats that fits across the front of their body with their front paws appearing as Yoda’s legs.
Don’t be surprised if your cat doesn’t enjoy being in the Halloween spirit as much as your dog might. Test out some clothing on your cat first to determine how it feels about being dressed up before committing to the time and cost of buying a costume. We hope these ideas are inspiring for you and help you look forward to upcoming fun of Halloween.
