Halloween Pet Costumes
Heavyweight Champ
This creative costume features the body of a champion boxer.
It has fiberfill-stuffed arms that are complete with little boxing gloves. There are also a pair of blue shorts that your four-legged friends front legs will fit in.
With a World Heavyweight Championship belt on, your small dog will walk around feeling like the top dog (don’t tell the cat we said that).
Hamburger
Crafted with 100% polyester jersey knit and felt fabrics, this funny dog costume is as well-constructed as your favorite deluxe burger.
The body wrap features fabric straps with hook and loop fasteners that go around your dog’s neck and chest, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The fiberfill-stuffed “bun” is delightfully cushioned and even features printed sesame seeds for that authentic burger look.
Lush, felt “lettuce” edges the bun, while the side panels are generously garnished with a printed burger patty, veggies, and all the condiments you could wish for.
Peacock
So just how does one turn a pet into a peacock without a magic potion?
This costume makes it a cinch, with its easy-on body piece that makes your pooch’s midsection look like the wings of a bird.
The tail section stands up and is printed with pretty peacock plumage in hues of emerald, cobalt, turquoise, and gold. T
The headpiece turns your forever faithful’s furry face into a peacock’s head, complete with beak, eyes, and even a blue crest.
Sailor
Your pup would follow you anywhere so that means he deserves the best dog costume!
It starts with a simple white shirt that fits with a fastener along the belly of your dog. It has printed bones, rank stripes, and blue piping to give it a signature sailor vibe.
The collar has blue ribbon edging to really bring the look together! Of course, every sailor needs a sailor’s cap, and your dog is no exception! The costume comes with a sailor hat with an elastic band that fits under your dog’s chin. The little hat is so cute!
Pair it up with one of our sailor costumes for men or women pet owners and you’ll have the perfect matching outfits for Halloween fun!
Toto Basket
What’s more endearing than a dog traveling in a basket? Nothing that we can think of.
Your little dog would be just as helpful as Toto was if you two were whipped beyond the rainbow. When you’re dressing up this Halloween why not do one of the best Halloween costumes with your soulmate?
You can find one of our great Dorothy costumes and your pooch can come along as Toto in his charming basket.
Shark
While some might interpret this Shark Dog costume as a tiny shark gobbling up your precious pooch, we’re pretty sure this is one of those excellent mutually beneficial arrangements.
Your pupper gets to look even more adorable, stay cuddled up and warm and, meanwhile, this soft shark gets to get a look at the world above the sea!
Our scientists are still hard at work to create the next hybrid creation: a flying shark doggo. So far, our Bird Dog and Angel Dog have wanted nothing to do with this little Land Shark, but you can add a pair of wings to your doggo costume if you want to beat us to the punch.
Pirate
They’ll be ready to sail the seven seas (or just chase a few squirrels) in their own captains’ jacket and tri-corner hat with adjustable chin strap.
Made with 100% polyester fabric, this dog costume is up for the rough and tumble life of a dog on the hunt for buried bones.
All they’ll need is a good name to go with their new pirate life. Ahoy, Puppy!
Gingerbread
Gingerbread Pups spread cheer throughout Oz and zip through mysterious hidey-holes to show up wherever most needed. They are man and milk’s best friend!
One of many Christmas and food-themed costumes, it has a polyester flannel and fiberfill hood and front drape fit comfy for smaller dog breeds and will make a festive and adorable addition to any holiday needs.
Baby Shark
Everyone loves baby shark!
The officially licensed costume is made from 100 percent polyester fabric and foam. The stuffed shark body has straps that go around your dog’s neck and abdomen, while the shark head opens up for your dog’s head to fit through.
There are also cute graphics printed on the shark’s body, including a helpful “Baby shark” title so that everyone knows that Fido is truly in no danger.
Bring the ocean to your house with this funny Baby Shark Dog Costume. All you need is a few more sharks (and dogs) to make the family complete!
Action Hero
This is a stuffed suit that fits around your pet’s neck and legs. Its printing gives your pet a rugged military rogue look while the wild wig fastens with elastic to complete the transformation.
Throw your favorite toys to bring the jungle to life or play out your other favorite action hero movies!
We are not forgetting your feline friends! This one works perfect for them too!
UPS
This UPS Dog Costume is one of the most adorable occupational costumes that will have your pet playing the role of delivery doggie!
The costume is the signature brown color of the UPS uniform and even includes an adorable hat to go along with it.
The attached package will make it look like he’s on an important delivery and you can begin teaching him how to be the best delivery puppy.
Lion
We really love the way our playful pups look in this lion costume.
It will make your precious pup into a wild lion. The kind that likes to have milk bones, and likes to snatch a tennis ball out of the air.
He will be the cutest lion on the plains or in the neighborhood pet parades.
Sure, he may not like getting into it at first, but we’re sure a few treats will help to convince him. Because who doesn’t want to see our fluffy friend as a lion? We do!
Butterfly
This adorable outfit is a simple set of detachable wings stay on with the soft base and straps, and the matching cap fits over their noggin and features soft antennae, which fits both dogs and cats.
Even if your furry friend doesn’t secretly dream of being a butterfly, they’ll still be the cutest critter ever during Halloween season.
Chucky
This half coat and hood is a comfy fit and a perfect outfit for your pup and has the decorations of a delightful toy doll… except for that slightly suspicious knife he’s wielding.
We’re pretty sure that’s just to help you cut up the bacon bits, though! WHO’S A GOOD GUY?
It is very important to remind your pup who’s a good boy and girl. They need to know that kind of thing or they might become susceptible to the prying spirits of crazy killers.
Fortunately, the worst case scenario of possessions is that they hunger for a few extra treats.
Wonder Dog
Imagine your puppy running around the house in this cute and heroic outfit.
She could even strut her stuff around the block with you if you want to dress up as Superman or Batman. That would ensure that no villainous acts are going down this Halloween.
Nobody wants to go toe to toe with members of the Justice League. Give all the super villains a ‘ruff’ time this Halloween with your heroic pup.
Oh, and don’t forget to take plenty of pictures of your furry hero in action!
Rainbow Brite
Are you an 80s kid? Do you remember spending your Saturday mornings watching Rainbow Brite riding on Starlite to save the world from darkness?
Well, the sad news is that your pup didn’t get to experience that magical time first hand, but don’t worry. It’s time to suit up in this adorable Rainbow Brite Sprite Costume for pets!
The costume comes with hooded suit that fits over your dog’s front legs and chest. The sleeves have bright rainbow colors to recreate the look seen in the classic 80s cartoon series!
It even has an attached faux fur belt and a pair of a little red arms designed into the front. The hood fits over your pup’s head, and it fits with a fastener in the back. The little antennae on the top help put the finishing touch on the outfit!
T-Rex
Enjoy your own version of the dinosaur theme park when you give your pet this Dog Pupasaurus Rex Costume.
This reptile-like green scaled coat is a comfy harness and hood for your pupper that will make them look like a raptor on the prowl.
The dinosaur arms, head, and tail all extend from the base coat to give your pet a real toothy grin and extra adorable arms.
Panda
This front coat and hood will make your pup look like a panda bear running around on its hind legs.
The furry coat features the white and black patterns for everyone’s favorite bamboo-eating bear and allows your dog’s face to pop through the front of the hood.
Faux arms at your dog’s shoulders will look like excited panda arms when they run towards you. How can you even avoid this level of cuteness?
Bumblebee
Who needs a coat when this cozy ensemble will keep your little bumbler both warm and stylish?
The hook and loop fastener down the center ensures an easy dressing routine. No more wrestling Fido into a sweater!
And let’s talk wings. These iridescent wings sewn on the back will have your furry friend ready to take flight (well, metaphorically speaking, of course).
But that’s not all! The hood comes adorned with adorable pipe cleaner wire antennae. Can you imagine your pupper sporting those? Too cute to handle!
Taco
A bit of brilliant printing turns this little costume into a realistic-looking taco with all the fixings.
Two bands help it stay put as your best little pal pads around the party or struts through the neighborhood, pup-or-treating.
You’ll love looking at your pooch so much that you’ll likely find yourself strapping it on for more than just Halloween — Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesdays at your place just got cuter!
