Halloween Costumes for Dogs

For Halloween This Year, I'm Going To Dress My Dog as...

As you can see from this picture, my dog Sydney was not thrilled in her role as a dragon sidekick (my son dressed as a knight that year), but everyone who saw her loved it.  I made this costume myself using a commercial pattern and had fishing line attached to the wings so I could make them flap as we walked along.  It was hysterical.  She felt less than dignified though, and it showed.  We still have the costume, and when she sees it come out of the box, she heads in the other direction.  Any direction, as long as it is AWAY from the foul thing.

There are tons of costumes available for your dog to wear in all sizes, shapes and themes.  Below, I have grouped them into categories so you can find just what you are looking for.

Be sure to scroll down to see the knight vanquishing the fearsome dragon!

What do you think of dogs in costumes?

Hilarious or cruel and unusual punishment?

Hilarious!

Shirley says:

While my husband says it is humiliating, my chocolate lab got tops of attention and lots of petting while wearing her bumblebee costume. She'll do anything for attention!

JoyfulReviewer says:

Dog costumes are so cute. If your dog will allow it, then go for it.

Hilarious! Our dog actually gets excited when we get on his costume, no clue why, but he is going to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle this year. Very cute dragon!

OhMe says:

I think they are so funny but my dog would never go for it.

You should be tarred and feathered for disgracing your noble pet this way.
