Pet Halloween Costumes

If you love Halloween, then you probably take a lot of time to put up the perfect decorations, plan a great party and put together an amazing Halloween costume.  If you have a pet, then you should let them in on the fun too with pet halloween costumes.  Halloween costumes for animals are great for parties, for trick-or-treating with the children, or just to compliment your own costume in a fun and quirky way.  Really go all out this Halloween with a costume for your lovable dog, mischievous cat, or adorable bunny rabbit!

One of the most popular types of pet halloween costumes are costumes that make your animal look and feel like a human for the day.  These costumes include little ballerina tutu’s, tiny leather biker jackets, cowboy items such as neckerchiefs and hats, fireman costumes, pirate hats, bridal veils, king and queen crowns and capes, and tuxedo jackets and bowties.  These costumes are fun because they are unexpected and cute.  They are also good to match your costume or compliment it.  If you’re dressing as a bride, for example, why not dress your pup as the groom?  Just imagine the looks and laughs you’ll get from all the little trick-or-treaters!

Another really fun pet halloween costume idea is dressing up your pet like another animal.  Items such as bunny ears for cats, cat ears for dogs, and frog costumes for rabbits are surprising and fun.  These costumes can really get a laugh out of your party guests and make your pet the star of the show.  You can make these costumes as simple or as realistic as you like, by putting tails and ears together or making a full-body costume.  Or you can even have your pet’s fur dyed to match that of the animal you are dressing them up as.  You’ll confuse and surprise your friends and trick-or-treaters when they try to figure out why your dog is suddenly a cat or a reptile!

Pet halloween costumes can also be of the comical variety.  Put a hotdog bun around your dachshund and make everyone laugh!  Or put a tiny little monkey toy on your dogs back to make them a silly rodeo dog.  You can even use puns in your pet halloween costume, such as a giant clock on your dogs back for a “watch dog” or a big “T” for your cat’s costume to evoke the funny phrase “Catty” at all the parties.  The best part is to see how creative you can get with your pet halloween costume, to delight your friends and family or other fellow cat and dog owners!
