Cute And Cheap Dog Costumes

It's a lot of fun to dress your dog up for Halloween. There's so many cute and funny costumes to choose from, it's no wonder that around 11% of pet owners are planning for their pooch to dress in a costume this year.

But, do you really need to spend a fortune on a pet costume? I never spent much money on my own costumes, so I don't see myself spending a lot on an animal who would rather chew up an outfit than wear it.

So I set up to make a list of costumes that were both adorable and affordable. I decided to use $15 as the cut off, not counting shipping or taxes. A lot of times free shipping is available and taxes usually only apply to one state. I tried to find as many as possible that are $10 and under. Some of these are sales prices, so while they are less than $15 as I write they could go up in price.

I hope you'll find this list of cheap dog costumes helpful as you do your Halloween shopping.

Hot Diggity Dog Halloween Costume

    It uses Velcro closures for easy on and off. It's pretty comfortable for dogs, though not all will like the hood. If that's a problem, it's easy to push the hood back. It has an advantage over costumes that use hats, since the hood can't fall off or get lost.

    Since it is one piece and won't fall apart, it's great for trick or treating. Dogs will have no problem walking in it.
