If you’re looking for an ultra-sweet and easy-to-wear costume for an even sweeter dog, this official Twinkie costume may be your best bet. Available in sizes small/medium and large/extra large, the plush, lightweight Twinkie is held in place by a single wide hook and loop strap that is easy to adjust to fit your pup’s exact measurements. I recommend this simple yet charming costume for dogs who barely tolerate dressing up due to its simplicity and cozy feel.

CuteBone Dog Pajamas

Why not invest in a costume that your dog will want to wear long after Halloween has ended? CuteBone offers an array of slightly spooky, to downright adorable, pajama sets that range from sizes extra small to XXL, and they’re a snuggly accessory to put on your pup when it’s chilly outside.

Rubie’s Strawberry Pet Costume Hoodie

I’m always a big fan of cute yet cozy costumes so this strawberry hoodie is an absolute winner. Most dogs won’t mind wearing a sweater-like neon pink coat, and its charming little stem-adorned hood sports ear holes for extra comfort. The best part is that this fruit suit is available in small, medium, large, and extra-large, so most breeds can be a sweet strawberry for Halloween.

California Costumes Monarch Butterfly

Every bit as simple as it is cute, this two-piece butterfly costume is sure to be a hit with everyone at your party—even your dog! The wings are snugly yet softly held in place with a pair of elastic bands, and the antennae hat uses an even softer band that sits right on top of a pup’s head, while leaving plenty of room for their ears to hang out. This buggy costume is available in extra small, small, medium, and large, but I’d get one while you can—it’s a popular pick!

Pandaloon Penguin Pet Costume

It doesn’t get much cuter than transforming your cuddly dog into an even more cuddly plush toy for Halloween! You may have seen these incredibly cute pet costumes on Instagram or TikTok, and for good reason. Pandaloon offers a wide range of sizes and variants to pick from, including a penguin, bunny, and the classic teddy bear.

Rubie's Jolly Rancher Cherry Pet Costume

Although trick-or-treaters and anyone with a sweet tooth won’t be able to take their eyes off your dog, this authentic Jolly Rancher costume is a highly adjustable and charming pick that most pups will appreciate. This candied costume fits like a dog harness with a pair of hook and loop straps for getting just the right fit for your dog, and the frilly wrapper-like edges are the perfect touch for such a creative costume.

California Costumes UPS Dog Costume

They’ve barked at UPS delivery drivers all year, but now it’s time to see what brown can do for your best friend this Halloween. Between its cute human-like uniform, tiny delivery box, matching UPS hat with comfy earholes, and plenty of sizes ranging from extra small to extra large, it’s obvious why this pet costume is a smash-hit according to thousands of satisfied Amazon shoppers.

Zack & Zoey Show Jockey Saddle Costume

If you need the all-time silliest Halloween costume for your dog, no worries. I’ve got you covered with this simple yet hilarious pick that turns a puppy into the cuddliest racehorse you’ve ever seen. It’s hilarious to watch the lightweight plush jockey bobble about as he rides your dog around, and with its multiple adjustable buckled straps, small through extra large “horses” won’t mind wearing it for a few hours at a time.

Rubie's DC Comics Classic Superman Pet Costume

If you’ve got a dog who is OK with dressing up in a two-piece for Halloween, it’s always a fun time to watch your very own Super Dog bolt across the yard with their cape billowing in the wind. Offered in sizes small through extra large, the chest and belt are combined in a simple and surprisingly soft harness-like design. The timeless red cape is a separate piece that ties onto the suit, just in case your dog isn’t a fan of being followed by a billowing cape for an evening.

Frisco Pizza Slice Dog Costume Accessory

Some pups don’t mind wearing a complicated gag costume for Halloween, but if your dog is as fussy as mine, a cozy one-piece accessory is more than good enough. Frisco’s plush pizza slice is gently yet securely held in place with a hook and loop closure for a universally comfortable fit that most dogs are likely to forget they’re wearing by the time you run out of candy. This adorable piece of pepperoni and mushroom pizza is available in three sizes: extra small/small (perfect for tiny breeds and even cats), medium/large, and extra large/XXL.

Frisco Pumpkin Dog Costume

If you’re in the market for a Halloween costume with timeless style that your dog won’t mind wearing all night long, you can’t go wrong with this classic Jack-o’-Lantern. Available in sizes small through XXXL, the plush pumpkin-orange harness sports highly adjustable neck and chest straps, a semi-spooky smile on the back, and glittery green leaves around the collar line. The pumpkin stem hat is gently held in place with an adjustable elastic chinstrap, but even if your best friend isn’t into hats, this pumpkin costume is a lightweight and dependably comfy option for trick-or-treating.

Star Wars Darth Vader Dog Harness

Your best friend has been a good pup all year, but you can pretend that they’ve gone to the bark–I mean dark—side of the Force this Halloween. This slim, harness-like costume is breathable, lightweight, durable, includes a pair of metal loops on the back to effortlessly attach a leash and Darth Vader’s iconic black cape. While many dog costumes are somewhat awkward or impractical for finicky pups, this Star Wars themed harness is easily one of the most practical options of the year.

Frisco Stegosaurus Costume

Dinosaurs are always in style, and Frisco’s charming stegosaurus costume is a versatile pick for Jurassic Park fans. This two-piece model is available in sizes small enough for toy breeds to comfortably wear, to XXL for golden retrievers and other practically stegosaurus-sized dogs. Although some pets dislike headwear, the average dog will appreciate the scaly dinosaur body and tail for its plush interior and long sleeves that make it difficult to accidentally step out of during a walk.

Frisco Skunk Dog Costume

Everyone knows your spoiled-rotten dog is a little stinker, so why not lean into that this Halloween? This skunk costume is available in sizes small through XXL, and its upright tail and fluffy faux black and white fur will look adorable. This durable, ultra-soft hoodie-like costume is cozy enough to be worn all year as a windbreaker for chilly days. Even if your dog doesn’t like their ears covered, the skunk costume may be an exception, since there’s plenty of room in its spacious striped hood.

Rubie's Shark Fin Dog Costume

As fun as it would be to dress up every dog for Halloween, some pets just don’t feel comfortable wearing an elaborate getup. But even the most finicky puppies will love this fun, yet simple, shark costume. Available in small/medium and medium/large sizes, this costume feels just like the walking harness they’re used to, but with an exciting, sharky twist. The fin is lightweight and out of the way so your little shark won’t even notice it, but keep in mind that these costumes run on the smaller side—so if your dog is medium-sized, get the bigger size just to be safe.

Fetch For Pets Star Wars Chewbacca Dog Harness

Buddy costumes are always a treat and your little doggie always has your back, so why not have them be the Chewbacca to your Han Solo this Halloween? This small, harness-like costume is breathable, light, durable, and includes a pair of metal loops on the back to effortlessly attach a leash. Whether your puppy feels like a Wookie year-round or just on the holidays, this Star Wars costume is easily the most practical Halloween costume of the year.

Frisco Front-Walking Sloth Dog Costume

If your dog is a bit of a slug throughout the year, it’s time to celebrate their laziness with this hilarious sloth costume! This sweet outfit includes a matching sloth-faced cap and front body piece that is sure to get smiles from everyone as its lanky sloth arms wiggle with each step. Seeing your puppy become a sloth for Halloween is cute, but they’ll appreciate the front piece’s extra-soft and featherweight feel. In other words, they won’t mind wearing it throughout the evening.

Frisco Formal Dog Tuxedo

Keep it classy with this adorable tuxedo costume this Halloween. I’m a big fan of highly adjustable dog costumes, and this tux’s dual Velcro closures ensure it’s a comfortable costume from the moment you slide it over their head. With sizes ranging from extra small to XXXL, it’s easy to find the best fit for your suave canine companion. The cherry on top are this tuxedo’s charming rear buttons, slick vest, and of course, its darling matching bowtie.

Rubie's Hamburger Dog Costume

If you’re going to be silly this Halloween, why not go all out and make your dog a walking hamburger? Rubie’s burger costume is featherweight and more durable than you may expect, so it’ll easily survive multiple Halloweens if you take care of it. Its hook and loop closures make dressing and securing the burger onto your dog a breeze—but consider buying a slightly larger burger, because these costumes run small.

Frisco Glow in the Dark Skeleton Dog & Cat Costume

Some of the best Halloween costumes may seem simple at first glance, but hide a spooky surprise, like this skeleton costume. Its glowing green ribs, spine, and leg bones are the perfect way to impress all your trick-or-treaters! These are made in sizes small through XXL, so every dog can be a boney buddy. Thanks to its dual Velcro closures on the chest and underside, it makes quick work of getting the perfect level of comfort for your dog.

California Costumes Pet Spider Pup

What better way to get a rise out of your Halloween party guests than having a giant fuzzy spider greet them upon arrival? This extra-creative dog costume is available in sizes extra small through extra large, and its comfortable harness-like spider body is a snap to put on. Although breeds with tall, pointy ears may not appreciate the four-eyed hood, most dogs won’t mind wandering and begging for snacks alongside eight unobtrusive fuzzy spider legs this Halloween. Just make sure friends and family don’t end up overfeeding your adorable tarantula!

Rubie's Puppy Latte Costume

Dog owners who live on caffeine and pumpkin spice all fall long will love this super-sweet latte Halloween costume. Its cup section is secured by a Velcro latch to ensure this snug jacket-like costume is at its comfiest, while the foam and straw hat stay on with a gentle elastic band. The hat is surprisingly sturdy, and the fuzzy, warm cup costume is an excellent pick for anyone celebrating Halloween in a cooler climate.

Kitan Club Teddy Bear Cap

Yes, these adorable little hats are modeled by cats, but if you’re looking for a simple, lightweight, and absolutely cute costume idea for your extra-small dog, Kitan Club has you covered. Each box contains one of four fuzzy little bear caps, and while you can’t pick between the six mystery colors you’ll receive, they’re all equally cozy and easy to put onto tiny dogs. In addition, these mini-costumes are affordable at just under $8 a pop, and if turning your little sweetheart into a bear for Halloween isn’t your thing, the Japanese novelty brand offers a selection of other fun choices including bunny, fruit, and flower-themed pet caps to choose from.
