The Eight Best Dog Costumes for Halloween

Halloween is a fun time of year for pets and their owners. Whether your dog prefers tricks or treats (or loves both), you can make sure your four-legged friend stands out with the ultimate costume. If you’re looking for the perfect Halloween dog costume for your own playful pup, read on to discover some of the best options for your furry friend.

Punk rocker

While dressing your dog up as a punk rocker for Halloween will involve a trip to the dog wash the next day, this costume is great for pups who have style and attitude. Show off your dog’s wild side with a punk rocker costume, complete with some non-toxic pet hair color spray. In addition to a doggy leather jacket and a studded collar, give your pooch a little mohawk and add some wild hair color for a look that will make other dogs stop and take notice.

Fire fighter

Our first responders, including fire fighters, are our true heroes. Many dog fire fighter costumes have reflective features just like a real fire fighter outfit. A matching fireman’s hat completes the look.

Hot dog

A hot dog is a classic Halloween dog costume. It’s especially cute for smaller breeds like Corgis or Dachshunds, but larger dogs can look adorable in them, too. These costumes usually have Velcro straps for a secure, comfy fit.

Spider

For dogs who like tricks just as much as treats, a tarantula costume will turn your four-legged friend into a scary eight-legged creature. Featuring a furry body, flexible legs and a headpiece with eyes and fangs, this unique costume is sure to scare any other pooch who crosses your path.

Prince or princess

Even though your dog might be your princess every day, you can give your pooch the royal treatment on Halloween with a prince or princess costume. These costumes usually come with special accessories like wigs, crowns or headpieces to complete the look.

Inmate

If your pup is all bark and no bite, or if she has a habit of getting into trouble, an inmate or prisoner costume might be the perfect outfit for Halloween. Dress up your dog in a black and white shirt and even a hat for a cute, unique and humorous costume that other pups will be sure to notice.

Pirate

Turn your pooch into a true buccaneer with an adorable pirate costume. Some of these costumes feature a front-walking design that makes it look like your dog is standing upright on two feet. Complete the look with a tiny tricorn hat and show the other dogs in the neighborhood that your pup is ready to pillage all the Halloween treats.

Unicorn

Let’s face it—some dogs just can’t be scary no matter how hard they try. Take your pup’s cute factor to the next level with an adorable unicorn costume complete with a horn that you can strap to her head.

The right Halloween dog costume can bring out your playful pup’s personality and help them enjoy the holiday just as much as you do. After a fun night out, it’s usually best to stop by your local dog wash to get your pup fresh and clean. Visit The Soggy Dog today for a quick, no-hassle, no-mess wash!
