Dogs With Animal Magnetism

Being an animal is cute enough, but what’s better than dogs dressed up as other animals? If you always thought your dog would look good with a wild mane, we recommend you try the California Costumes Lion Mane Dog Costume to give him the untamed and confident look of the king of the jungle himself.

Let your dog be the center of attention with his bright, feathered pet apparel.

Costumes for Chowhounds

Food is delicious and everyone appreciates it, but food-themed dog Halloween costumes really inspire a new level of appreciation when sported by beloved pets. Maybe it’s because we want a “slice” of our furry friends’ cuteness or because the sight of a food product wobbling down the streets is entertainment in itself. Regardless, food attire is sizzling hot this Halloween, and you can’t go wrong picking one of these super cheesy costumes for your furry friend.

A customer-favorite and all-around classic is the Casual Canine Hot Diggity Dog Halloween Costume that covers your pup with bread buns on each side and features a beautiful squirt of felt ketchup on your dog’s back.

Looking for something a little sweeter for your furry angel? The Rubie’s Cupcake Dog Costume will complement your dog’s sweet side with pink ruffles, sprinkles and a faux cherry on top of your pup’s head. So original it almost looks handmade, this costume is the perfect sugary solution for a dog Halloween costume.

If you’re looking to spice things up this Halloween, then the Rubie’s Taco Pet Costume is the ideal choice of pet apparel for your food-loving dog. Featuring a loaded taco in a soft-shell tortilla wrap as well as a sombrero headpiece, this Halloween dog costume is a hit for small dogs looking to rock a delicious entrée this holiday.

Superdog to the Rescue

While our pets tend to be our everyday heroes at home, you can show them a little extra appreciation this Halloween by suiting them up in a real hero costume! What better way to give your pup the feeling he can take on any challenge and save the day.

With Rubie’s Firefighter Pet Costume, your dog can join the ranks of thousands of firehouse dogs all around the world. Featuring a jacket with reflective stripes and a matching hat, this pet apparel is sure to warm any pet lover’s heart. Just be sure to keep your pup away from the fire hydrants!

Tips for Dressing up Your Dog

Dogs dressed up on Halloween can be super fun, but can pose a challenge if your furry friends are not up for all the costume frenzy. As a precautionary measure, make sure that your pup is safe in his pet apparel and that none of his natural movements or behaviors are compromised. It can oftentimes be a struggle to get your dog into a costume, either due to its complex design or because your fur baby is too excited to stand still—regardless, you can usually get your pup to obey with a yummy treat as a reward.
