10 Hilarious Halloween Costumes For Your Puppy

October 11, 2019

Halloween has finally arrived! It’s that time of year to hang up creepy decorations, pick out pumpkins, and drink pumpkin spice lattes. It’s also an appropriate time to decide on costumes. Don’t leave your puppy behind—there are various costumes your furry friend can wear! 

If you aren’t sure of the best puppy costumes for your furry cutie, choose a funny one. Here are 10 funny costumes your puppy can wear this Halloween. Let us know which costume you pick for your cuddly pet pal!

1. Taco

If you’re a foodie, dressing up your pup in a yummy-looking costume is a real treat! Most food-related dog costumes are hot dogs and pizza—these are cute, but we recommend shaking things up a little for this year’s Halloween. A taco costume is sure to get a few laughs at a party or while trick-or-treating!

2. Superheroes

Whether you’re for Marvel or DC (or neither), all kinds of superheroes dominate our current culture and media. And they aren’t going away anytime soon! Dress up your puppy as your favorite caped crusader like Batman or as Marvel favorites like Thor. You can even go for cartoon superheroes like Underdog.

3. Other Animals

What’s funnier (and cuter) than your furry friend dressed as a lion? What about a turtle or a rabbit? Whichever animal costume you choose, your puppy will surely be a hit at any Halloween event you take them to. And if you have a cat, you may dress them up in a cute getup, and pose both for an Instagram-worthy picture!

4. Beanie Babies

Beanie Babies are seriously the cutest plush toys ever created. A Beanie puppy costume? Even cuter. This getup is super easy to make—just print out “TY” tag online or create it yourself and place it on your pup’s collar. Your guests and neighbors will gush and laugh over your adorable beanie puppy.

5. Banana

A banana costume is a classic dog costume that will likely garner a few laughs. Many banana costumes are a one-piece suit, so your furry friend will also feel nice and comfy while wearing it. Simple yet funny, your pup’s banana attire will definitely be a hit at any Halloween activity.

6. Pumpkin

Another simple and classic getup, a pumpkin costume lets your puppy get into the Halloween spirit. Most pumpkin costumes are very comfortable for puppies to wear, and don’t require much work to put on. They’re also pretty cheap and easy to find at a pet shop.

7. Police

Most of the time, our puppies’ daily job involves eating, sleeping, and giving us lots of cuddles. And yet, when the situation calls for it, our furry friends are willing to put their lives on the line to protect us. Why not thank them by dressing them up as a police officer? The costume itself isn’t hard to find or create—and as a bonus, your puppy will be able to show off their “tough guy” persona!

8. UPS Dog Uniform

Once you see your puppy in a UPS uniform, it’s hard to resist taking a picture!  Many puppies aren’t fond of having cloth material covering their body, and with this costume, they won’t! The UPS dog uniform only goes around their neck and front legs, giving your pup the freedom they want. Expect lots of looks and laughs with this costume!

9. Bug

If you’re looking for a puppy costume that will never go out of style, bug costumes are your perfect choice! You may dress your puppy up as a ladybug or spider and still turn many heads at a costume party. With another pup in the mix, you can make your dog’s costume even funnier by having the second dog wear a frog costume. We promise it’ll be a Halloween night to remember!

10. Harry Potter Characters

Harry Potter is one of the most well-beloved children’s books in the world. There’s just something so adorable and funny about a puppy wearing Harry’s glasses and school robes. Some prop glasses even come with Harry’s iconic scar. If your furry friend just won’t tolerate glasses on the face, you can have them wear a scarf or shirt that proudly showcases their Hogwarts House!

Make sure your puppy is completely comfortable with any costume you put on them. Don’t force them to wear anything they don’t like. Also, check that the costumes you pick out are safe for puppies to wear and easy to take off. If your pup becomes sad or anxious when wearing a costume, take it off immediately. You can always opt for alternatives like a tie or a bow. We’re sure your puppy will have the time of its life this Halloween!
