9 Adorable and Easy DIY Halloween Costumes For Your Dog
Happy HOWL-oween! When it comes to fun homemade Halloween Costumes, the possibilities are only limited by imagination!
Some dogs enjoy, or at least tolerate dressing up because they know their humans enjoy it. Even most dogs who don’t enjoy dressing up can be convinced to add a little decoration to their collar or harness. Why would I want to dress up my dog, you ask? It’s cute and fun! As long as you’re not traumatizing your dog, I say go right ahead!
Imagine adorable coordinated costumes with the kids, or the cutest pumpkin patch photos, or the absolute delight of the children as they approach your porch for Trick or Treating and notice your dog’s costume! These adorable and easy DIY Halloween costumes for your dog are just what the dress-up doctor ordered!
Please do not traumatize your dog for the sake of an adorable costume. The resulting pictures (if you manage to get any!) will not be cute. You may also damage your relationship with your pup. If your dog does not already wear sweaters, now is not the time to try to force on a costume involving a sweater. Many of the costumes below will require some conditioning if your dog is not used to wearing something similar. Costumes should not be left on dogs while unattended.
