Your dog is family. So why wouldn’t your precious pup be included in your Halloween costume? If you’re looking for a Halloween costume with your dog, then look no further because we’ve got all the best ideas right here.
You can’t go wrong with a funny family costume that involves Fido. We’ve included more than one here.
Looking for something a little more classic? We would never dream of leaving off our go-to witches costume of this round up.
Even if your pup hates wearing outfits, we’ve found a few costumes that we’re pretty positive you can convince them to wear, with a few treats as a bargaining chip, of course.
Just be sure the costume doesn’t interfere with your pet’s sight, hearing, breathing, or mouth and you’re good to go, per the American Veterinary Medical Association.
And, of course, never leave your dog unattended while they are in costume or there’s candy accessible to them.
