Halloween Costumes for Dogs

As you can see from this picture, my dog Sydney was not thrilled in her role as a dragon sidekick (my son dressed as a knight that year), but everyone who saw her loved it.  I made this costume myself using a commercial pattern and had fishing line attached to the wings so I could make them flap as we walked along.  It was hysterical.  She felt less than dignified though, and it showed.  We still have the costume, and when she sees it come out of the box, she heads in the other direction.  Any direction, as long as it is AWAY from the foul thing.

There are tons of costumes available for your dog to wear in all sizes, shapes and themes.  Below, I have grouped them into categories so you can find just what you are looking for.

Let Fido Channel the Power of the Force!

Let your pooch channel the power of the force, with these Star Wars themed dog costumes. They are available in a variety of sizes to fit your canine.  The main decorative section of these costumes is attached to a shirt that slips over your dog's body making your dog look like a miniature version of the Star Wars character they are wearing. These are among my favorite dog costumes - I like them so much, I almost wish I had a third dog to complete the set.

This one cracked me up! Especially because my dog would be a watch dog only in the sense of licking the robbers to death as they carried out my valuables.

Turn your weiner dog into a weiner with ketchup (or mustard)! This costume is perfect for long bodied dogs such as Dachshunds.

Pirate Costumes for Dogs

Take your dog on an adventure fit for a pirate with one of these pirate themed dog costumes! They might even swab the deck for ya (with their tongues, of course). There are several different styles of pirate costumes for both male dogs and female dogs.  My favorite is the first one with the hook and the parrot on the hat.
