11 Halloween Costumes for Dogs That'll Make You Howl

Why should kids have all the fun on Halloween? We're just going to say it. We LOVE a dog in a Halloween costume. So get your pups in on all the dress-up action this year with one of these insanely adorable Halloween costumes for dogs. 

Whether you have a little black dog or a big golden one, dressing your dog as a bat for Halloween this year is easy and adorable. In fact, some little black dogs already look like wingless fruit bats, so adding batwings for Halloween isn't just a no-brainer — it's a requirement. 

Here are some bat costumes we love for your pup:

• Adjustable bat wings
• Lighted bat wings
• Bat wing headband

Sure it's super traditional, but why wouldn't you want to turn your punkin into a pumpkin for Halloween? Whether you go with a homemade costume or pick out something like this wearable jack-o'-lantern, your pooch will be perfect.

Arrrrrrf, matey, is that a pirate we see? If so, it's the cutest pirate around (sorry, Johnny Depp). Turn your little buddy into a swashbuckler of the sea with this great pirate costume. And if your dog isn't very good at wearing clothes, we love this simple (but equally adorable) pirate hat and bandana. Avast, ye scurvy dogs!

Is there a fungus among us? Nope! It's your pup in a mushroom costume. Let your dog show off the fact that he's a fungi in a costume that's pretty easy to make — all you need is a mushroom cap for your pooch's head and maybe a mushroom bandana to drive the point home. 

Is your pup a basic witch? Now's the time of year to show it off. We love a witchy Halloween costume for your dog. Whether you opt for a witch's hat and cape or go for something a little more... Maleficent, this could be the perfect costume for your pooch. Witch, please. 

Yes, yes. We know your dog would never dream of chasing the mailman, but we still love the irony of this fun costume for your dog. And we especially love the tiny little package clutched in teeny tiny hands to really sell the concept. Go for a USPS costume, or opt for a pawfect UPS look-alike. 

Can you bee-lieve how bee-lightful this costume is for your dog? All you need is a yellow and black-striped dog shirt, although you could also go for a full-on bee costume if you really want to create a buzz. 

Sure, it may seem a little on the nose, but if you have a dachshund, how can you not dress them up in a hotdog costume? It almost seems like you have to, right? Also, there's an unwritten rule that then you must also dress up as a hotdog vendor, so get to it!

Is your dog a little devil? Yeah — we get it. Show the world your pooch's true personality by dressing them up in devil horns, or go for a full devil costume to show off your pup's devilish side.

Looking for a costume that's slightly less hare-raising? Whether you opt for a simple pair of bunny ears or go for the full rabbit costume (complete with carrot), your dog is going to be adorable. Bonus — it doubles as an Easter costume. 

We'd be lyin' if we told you we didn't love the thought of your pup as a lion. Show the world your pooch is the mane event this Halloween with either a mane and a tail or a full-on lion costume. 

Let's face it. Dogs in costumes are even cuter than kids in costumes at Halloween. So make your pooch super spooktacular this Halloween with one of these fun dog costumes.
