Halloween dog costumes are such a festive way for you and your dog to celebrate Halloween.
Halloween is such a fun time of year. It’s a time when we get to be creative and pretend to be someone else. If you have a dog, you can dress him or her up too . How cute is it to see a dog in a Halloween costume? Most dogs seem to enjoy the experience and love the attention they receive when they are in a Halloween outfit made just for them.
If your dog doesn’t like wearing the costume, and tries to shake or pull it off, you can try a few things. Start a week or so before Halloween so you dog will have a chance to get used to the costume. Put on one part of the costume such as just the cape or just the leggings and let him get used to that. Give him a treat and praise him big time when accepts the piece of clothing on him calmly. Leave it on about 5 minutes and if he seems ok with it, add another piece of the clothing. If he doesn’t react well, try again an hour or two later. Do this every day and by Halloween, your dog should be very happy to wear his cool Halloween costume. If your dog just won’t adjust to wearing a costume, you can always wrap a Halloween themed bandana around his neck or even decorate his collar.
So, what kind of Halloween dog costumes are available for your pet?? Almost as many as there are for people! You can have them dress up as Super Hero characters such as Super Man, Wonder Woman or Bat Man. You can dress them as movie characters such as Yoda or Darth Vader from the Star Wars movies, or Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Or even a spunky pirate dog costume. You can dress them in story book characters like the Cat in the Hat. You can even dress them like comic book characters like Dino from The Flinstones .
Astro Dog Costume – The Jetsons Costumes
Another fun cartoon character dog costume is Astro from the Jestsons.
Your pup can also go with movie characters such as Indiana Jones or Darth Vader. There are so many ideas for cute dog costumes! You can see the options are unlimited.
Little dogs seem to do the best with wearing costumes. They are easier to dress and seem to crave the attention they get in their outfits.
Whatever size of your dog he’s sure to enjoy a Costume party. What a fun idea to have all his playmates to come over for some treats (dog treats that is) and fun.
Big Box pet stores such as PetSmart and Petco often have promotions in their stores around Halloween where you can get your dog’s picture taken in his costume.
Dogs love to be the center of attention. And she will get plenty of attention wearing her very own costume. Your dog is part of your family and wants to celebrate Halloween too! What better way than with a Halloween dog costume?

Loved the convict and the bee costumes!
May 3rd, 2010 at 4:22 am
the bee costume is the best!

I was told having a pet makes you live longer, thank you my cat.

I am planning to dress up as a prisoner this coming Halloween and it’s good to know that there’s a prisoner costume for my dog.
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:54 pm
This Halloween Costume for Dogs is the cutest site! Gives me great ideas for our Great Dane (his name is Slinky). The Astro Dog Cotume would suit his personality.
Thanks!

I really like the Astro dog costume from the Jetsons! I have a siberian Husky puppy and that costume would be awesome to dress him up in! Thanks for the share

OMG, so cute! I am definitely gonna get a tutu for my bulldog this Halloween. She’s a gentle giant, and she’d look really funny in a little pink tutu…
July 13th, 2010 at 10:19 am
What great Halloween dog costumes! So many wonderful ideas to include the favorite member of the family in all the festivities.
July 14th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
These are hysterical! I really like the Astro (Rastro?) one. I used to watch the Jetsons a lot as a kid.
July 17th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
The costume for my dog this year is going to have to be the prison dog costume. My dog can be a bad dog sometime and maybe this will set him straight!
July 17th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
I think I want my dog to have a Star Wars costume this year for Halloween. Maybe I will try to find a Darth Vader outfit for him.
July 25th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Oh my gosh! That video is hysterical–not just the dogs and the costumes, but the music goes really well with the images. I might have to get a dog just to dress it up for Halloween.
July 27th, 2010 at 5:01 am
Oh how cute is that bumble bee costume. You know you can’t leave the dogs out of all the Halloween Fun!
July 27th, 2010 at 6:59 am
hi
Is letting the children that come to our home for halloween candy pet our 8 week old puppy to much stimulation?

To be honest, all this costumes looks weird ! Hehe, it must be funny to catch a dog dressed like these above lol!
August 1st, 2010 at 3:51 pm
In all seriousness, if I find a pirate costume to dress my dog up in I would. That would be so funny. Also, possibly a pet cat as well, they could be pirate buddies.
August 2nd, 2010 at 3:47 am
The prisoner costume is great! Perfect for a mean-looking dog!
August 5th, 2010 at 1:47 pm
We bought our little Chihuahua a Santa Costume last year. I finally got a photo of her in it, but she looked at us with a look that said… “I can’t believe you’re dressing me up in this!” It was too cute!
August 5th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
It’s good to know that there’s a prisoner costume for my dog
August 10th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
These Halloween costumes are really funny! I like the wings on the bee costume.
August 10th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
That dino dog costume is too cute! Would love to see that on a rottweiler!
August 10th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
I always say “Dogs are human too”. Every dog I’ve ever had has thought they were human. I love my dogs like a member of the family. I know there are a lot of other people like that too and these costumes are great. Really love the astro one but all of them are great. Kids would love it if their dogs dressed in the same costume don’t you think?
August 13th, 2010 at 6:09 am
Wow! I never realised there were so many costumes for dogs. I love the Prison Dog costume. This will be a buy for me. Thanks for all the tips.
August 13th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
I think the flower dog costume at the top is just darling. I think it’s the antennas that do it for me. Too cute. Our dog doesn’t try to pull clothes off, she just goes in-mobile. It’s like we’ve tied her up or something. Poor thing just mopes around. Dog costumes are so fun though.
August 15th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
After looking at all these costumes, I am definitely going to go out and buy one. The frog prince dog costume is perfect for my little guy.
August 16th, 2010 at 11:30 am
My favorite costumes are the ones where the dogs are prisoners. Not that I think they should be locked up but the running joke with my family is that our dog thinks her name is “NO NO BAD DOG”.
August 20th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
I like the prison dog costume the best. We are a dog friendly business as well and we cater to the real estate business for dog lovers, we will definitely recommend your site to some of our clients.

I wish they had a KISS costume for dogs that would be totally wicked. My dog has been a devil and a cop
August 24th, 2010 at 12:02 am
I have a doxie and purchased the Hot Dog Costume last year for Halloween. She looked adorable but it was all I could do to keep her from “eating the buns.” I can’t wait for this year. I’m already thinking the bumble bee for this year. Great site!
August 26th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Love the Jetson’s dog costume. I was looking for that exact one. Sort of looks like he’s been carried on the other dog’s shoulders. Cute as can be.
August 30th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
I think it’s the antennas that do it for me.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:27 pm
I’d love to see my dog Harley, who is a big boxer in the Dino costume as that is his personality!
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:34 pm
I have a ‘Harley’ too Tonya. Although mine is a she and a cocker spaniel.
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:46 am
I never realised that there was such a market (and supply) for Halloween dog costumes. I thought I was catering to a niche, but yours is awesome
September 6th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
All I can say is aaaaaawwwwwwwwww – I want one!!! What cute doggie costumes – and the pictures and descriptions are top notch. I enjoyed my visit very much – thanks!
September 6th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
I just had to tell you how much I loved visiting your site. It has such great pictures and the descriptions are really very good too. Nicely done!
September 6th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
The costumes you are describing here are really nice and so cute too – now I have too many choices for Halloween but I’ll be back. Decision, decisions!!!
September 7th, 2010 at 9:20 am
Ha! Love these. My favorite is the Astro costume but it might be a little dated. Do kids these days even know who Astro is? My next fave is the prison costume. Too cute!
September 9th, 2010 at 5:03 am
Love these costumes! My dog is not going to be happy, but he sure is going to look cute this Halloween! Thanks for putting this together.
September 9th, 2010 at 8:00 am
I have seven dogs in our house. And Thank you for sharing your collection of costumes for dogs. It gives me an idea. Thanks
September 15th, 2010 at 8:25 am
I think that every dog should own one, what a brilliant website! I will have to bookmark this one
September 15th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
I absolutely looooove all the dog costumes that I’ve seen here on your site. They are too cuete!! The only thing that I would like to see dig=fferent would be more costumes for the bigger dogs like German Shepherds, Rotties, etc.
September 15th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Me too! I have asked several of the costume companies if they could provide costumes for big dogs but so far, nothing. 2 of my dogs are big guys.
September 22nd, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Oh dogs are so beautiful, i wish i could have my own household of dogs. It would make my day time everyday to see them have fun.
October 1st, 2010 at 9:32 pm
These are hilarious! The Astro one is my fave.
October 13th, 2010 at 12:28 am
These costumes are just fantastic! thanks for the ideas.
October 20th, 2010 at 5:44 am
My question is why do pet owners wish to impose human fashion up on pooches? Halloween can be fun time for you but a Halloween costume for your pet invites danger as it may obstruct vision, tangle when they stride around and is an impediment when t comes to bathroom needs. Please let your pet enjoy its freedom as fur is quite enough to save him from harsh weather.
October 21st, 2010 at 4:13 pm
I really love that bee costume! The Frog Prince is cute too.
My dog was a pirate last year. She might go as either a dinosaur or Elvis this year, haha.
October 26th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
I love the bee dog costume. Looks so cute on cute little thing
November 2nd, 2010 at 3:00 pm
LOL, some of these costumes are so funny. Not sure if my Border would put up with wearing though!
November 3rd, 2010 at 5:02 am
Our Dog , called Brutus had a selfmade dog costume this haloween:
He was the Statue Of Liberty .
November 3rd, 2010 at 2:11 pm
The prison dog costume has to be the cutest! I would love to dress my dog up for Halloween every year.
November 8th, 2010 at 2:55 am
haha.. the prison dog costume is awesome.
December 6th, 2010 at 9:41 am
I’ll have to agree with everybody else and make the prison dog my favorite. The frog prince costume was a great idea though.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:51 am
Halloween is actually a pagan celebration
January 10th, 2011 at 2:27 am
I have a similar dog and have put up the same costume as in this video posted. A pirate costume on a bull terrier is hilarious. The dog looks so funny. The prison striped costume will also make a brilliant selection for a funny dog like mine.
January 15th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
My dog loves when she have to where the newst and smartest halloween dog costume!
Btw. Thanks for sharing

The Youtubevideo is really the best part of this wonderful post. But I’m not shure that all dogs enjoy wearing clothes:)
January 30th, 2011 at 2:08 am
I actually suggested to my Yorkie that he should wear one of these customes but he refused and he did not “speak” to me in two days!
Any suggestions to how I can make him wear one?
January 30th, 2011 at 4:28 am
lol, some of these are great(no, actually all of them are) – have to get one for my dog. He’d love it

These are all really cool, but I think the frog prince one is my favorite. It makes the dog really look like royalty

We dressed our Scottish Terrier as a dragon this Halloween. Of course, she hated it but we thought she looked cute as a button!
