I’m not into Halloween costumes for dogs, but a lot of people are. Personally, I feel it’s demeaning to the animal, but we’re talking about the same pets who drink from the toilet and eat rancid meat. If you like to brighten up the Halloween season by putting your pooch in an outfit, here are 10 cute options that I came across online (dog not included).

Outfits for Man’s Best Friend

  • Hot Dog – Imagine a Halloween costume where a dog’s head and feet are sticking out of a hot dog bun. Perfect for the pet owner who wants to be clever.
  • Lovely Ladybug – An adorable ladybug outfit that’s perfect for small dogs.
  • Dorothy – Your dog will look like the heroine from The Wizard of Oz, complete with braided hair hanging down. If you have two dogs, the other can go as Toto.
  • Uncle Sam – If you want to show off your patriotic side, dress your dog up as Uncle Sam. The distinctive red, white, and blue hat is included.
  • Pumpkin Pooch – Your dog’s body will be covered by a round pumpkin outfit, while a little pumpkin cap also fits onto their head. This costume works better on smaller breeds of dogs.
  • Superman – The iconic Superman logo is worn across your pooch’s torso, while the red cape hangs down across their back. I’m guessing most dogs will display more personality in the costume than Brandon Routh did in Superman Returns.
  • Princess Leia – This clever costume captures the simple charm of Carrie Fisher’s white ensemble from the original Star Wars movie. If George Lucas could figure out how to market his movies to dogs, I’m guessing he would do it. In fact, maybe he’ll re-release the franchise with cats and squirrels digitally inserted into the scenes.
  • Raptor – The raptor became a popular dinosaur after the release of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, and now your dog can look like something that would feast on poor Samuel L. Jackson.
  • Harem Dog – A veil hangs over your dog’s face, although I have to wonder how long it would be before most pets chewed it away. The rest of the outfit looks like something out of I Dream of Jeannie.

I’ve seen some weird Sonny and Cher costume ideas, but never one that involved dressing a couple of dogs up like the popular singing duo. If someone did decide to do it, I would recommend a Chihuahua for Sonny and a Collie for Cher.
