The leaves are starting to turn and there’s a bit of a change in the weather. It can mean only one thing – Fall is here and it’s time to start thinking about Halloween costumes!
And you might not only want to think of what your kids want to go out as – or even you yourself – but also your dog! Whether you’re simply answering the door for trick-or-treaters, or going out with the family door to door, having a costume just for Fido is a great way to involve your pet in the holiday. It’s also guaranteed to bring apprecation from kids and parents alike.
Let’s have a look at some of this year’s great ideas for doggie Halloween costumes.
Tomsenn Dog Lion Mane
Your dog may be a pushover by nature, but with this great costume he’ll take on a fierce look as he dresses up as the king of the jungle. This is a great-looking and highly recommended costume that works great for medium to large dogs.
This mane fits dogs with neck sizes from about 22 inches to 30 inches, which is great for mid-size to large dogs. It has an elastic band to hold it on tightly. It’s woolen and can easily be cleaned.
Pictured is the brown version, but another with black and brown hair is also available.
Rubie’s Costume Wonder Woman Pet Costume
Superheroes have been all the rage over the past few years, especially with Hollywood blockbusters. 2017’s Wonder Woman film brought back the great Amazonian warrior to prominence and was one of the better films in the genre so far. It’s even got a second installment coming for 2019 – and the current schedule calls for it to be released the day after Halloween!
So it’s the perfect time to convince your dog to dress up as this pwoerful woman whose comic career spanned the time from World War 2 up to the current day.
This set is in the classic comics Wonder Woman colors of red, blue, white and gold. It includes a headpiece, red dress and blue skirt with stars. It’s available in four different sizes and you can get more info on the size for your dog in the Amazon listing.
Other DC Comics heroes and villians are also available, so be sure to look for your favorites, like Superman, Batman, Batgirl, Robin, The Flash, Green Lantern, and the Joker.
Rubies Costume Jedi Robe Dog Costume
These are not the dogs you’re looking for. But this IS another great costume from Rubie!
If you (or your pet) are big fans of the Star Wars saga, you’ll love this awesome costume. Whether your pet will be Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin Skywalker before his fall to the dark side, or any of the other Jedi Knights, this costume will definitely help it fit the part.
The costume is available in small, medium and large; be sure to check the size chart to before ordering.
Included are a shirt and belt along with the hooded cloak. This is a licensed product so it does ofer a good level of quality and a reasonable match to what a real Jedi Knight would wear.
There are various other Star Wars costumes available as well, although they’re listed separately. They include Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, Boba Fett, Han Solo, and more. There’s even Chewbacca and R2D2!
There are even combo sets that include a child’s costume along with a pet costume. Leia and an Ewok or Luke and Yoda are among the cutest combos.
Animal Planet Triceratops Dog Costume
Ok, we’ve already mentioned the lion mane that can make your dog look fierce. But this outdoes even that costume!
This triceratops headpiece goes great for any fan of the Jurassic Park franchise. And kids just seem to live dinosaurs no matter what, so they’ll love this. Or dress up as Ross from friends and take your pet out for a walk so people can really say what a paleontologist does!
A velcro strap holds the headpiece in place. Three sizes are available; you can find recommendations in the listing under customer questions.
Lubber German Shepherd Dog Latex Animal Head Mask
Yes, we know the title of this article can have two meanings – costumes for dogs, or costumes that are for people to look like dogs. So we’ve tossed in one of the latter just to make things interesting!
