Halloween is right around the corner, which means it’s time to make sure you and your pup both have a costume ready to impress. You can make your own costume for your canine friend or purchase one online or in a store.
Let's take a look at some of the best options out there.
Do-It-Yourself Ideas
PetMD, a website devoted to pet owners, suggests taking the easy route and making a mummy costume for your pup. This is among the more straightforward ideas, with a few options. ACE bandages, cotton gauze or even a small hooded jacket wrapped in bandages can all work for this adorable attire.
If you’re looking for something sweet, take Buzzfeed's idea and go for a Hostess cupcake. All you will need is a brown shirt that fits your dog and some white fabric to make the iconic frosting swirl. If you’re looking to get really crafty, you can get two long white pieces of fabric and turn your pup into a Hostess Devil Dog.
For smaller dog owners, POPSUGAR has the hilarious idea of dressing your canine up as either Raggedy Ann or Raggedy Andy. All you'll need is some red yarn, a tiny white hat and a little blue shirt for this one.
Out-of-the-Box Options
Heavy, a news and entertainment publication, lists a banana, turtle and piñata as some of the more beloved out-of-the-box costume options. Another fun idea is a UPS worker costume in which the dog's front paws look as though they are the legs of the professional mail carrier. If you are a fan of the movie "Grease," the source has a link to a leather motorcycle-themed dog costume that can turn your pup into Rizzo or Danny!
For other ideas - especially if you would like to purchase the costume online - check out Amazon's list of best-selling dog costumes. The first page has some highly affordable and absolutely endearing or hilarious costumes you can purchase with ease.
Please make sure the costume does not have any choking hazards and is animal safe. Good luck with your dog costume hunt, and Happy Halloween!
