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.

- Those are some great Halloween Costumes for Dogs but I am afraid that our Miss PittyPat would be like your Sydney and not enjoy it very much.
