Halloween Costume Ideas for Dogs
For those who love Halloween, picking out a Halloween costume for your dog can be just as big of a deal as planning your own. Not only does dressing up your pooch make a great photo op for social media, but it's also a secure way to gain all the smiles as you walk through your neighborhood on the eve of October 31st.
While not every dog has the same enthusiasm for Halloween as their humans may, there's even something here for pets who prefer their birthday suits.
So get an idea of which costume fits your pup's needs and abilities. With the extensive range of dog Halloween costumes and the different ways they stay secured to your dog, there is even something for the most reluctant of dogs.

Another excellent option for squirmy pups who don't love to dress up is the canine cowboy rider. Watch as the cowboy bounces up and down as your pooch runs down the street while trick or treating. This costume is comfortable and easily adjustable, plus it's adorable, funny, and sure to gain you some laughs.

Does your dog give off a devilish vibe? This horrifically cute costume pulled from the pits of hell sports a pair of iridescent horns that even the devil, himself, will envy.
Don't Stress!
For some pets, wearing a costume can cause stress and anxiety. Only put your pet in a Halloween costume if you are sure that she loves it. And to avoid any stressful last-minute changes, have your pup try on her costume before the big night. If the costume by any means stresses your dog, skip it.
A Quick Tip
If you decide to dress your pet up for Halloween this year, make sure the costume does not alter her movement, sight, or ability to breathe, bark or meow. Always measure your pet before ordering her a costume.
And be sure to avoid any costumes with dangling, small, and easily chewable pieces that can present a choking hazard.
