These ten hilarious Halloween costumes for dogs will make even the most hardened criminals roll on the floor with laughter. Delight your trick-or-treaters with these hysterical dog costumes.
All of them are affordable, although some are better suited to particular body or head shapes.
The Triceratops Dog Costume
Animal planet makes several of the more adorable dog costumes available this year. The triceratops head piece comes in four sizes. However, even the smallest size is still rather large. In fact the size small is large enough for an adult female human to wear as a costume. Made from lightweight printed foam, this is a costume best worn by dogs with blocky heads, such as the bulldogs or rottweilers. This little cutie costs under $7.00
Fans of The Lord of The Rings will recognize this giant spider! Fitted with Velcro straps, it should fit fairly snugly. However, the wire in the legs of this costume is not very strong, and the legs tend to droop on the floor when the dog is walking around. Still this costume gets plenty of compliments. The Grr-antula comes in 4 sizes Small - X-Large, and runs $20.00 with shipping.
Despicable Me 2 Pet Costume
Minions are all the rage this year!

Highest in customer satisfaction, Animal Planet's Woolly Mammoth costume is a very well built outfit. The plush material holds its shape, however the legs tend to be a little on the short side. A large fits a 62 pound bulldog well. Dog with longer legs relative to their body girth will have their feet sticking out of the bottom, but that may just add to the hilarious effect.

Star Wars Ewok Costume
Ewok Costume - Buy It Now |
This is the best selling Halloween costume for dogs, and with good reason. It is simply the cutest dog costume for small fluffy dogs.
Rubies has a full line of officially licensed Star Wars dog costumes and all of them are adorable. Unfortunately many of them don't run true to their sizing. The Ewok costume tends to run larger than their sizing suggests.
The Hammerhead Shark Dog Costume by Animal Planet
Your dog can enjoy wearing this costume for both Halloween and Shark Week! The headpiece on this costume tends to weigh heavily on the ears, so dogs with prick ears may find it uncomfortable. This is another costume that best fits dogs with block skulls. Sizing is the same as the Raptor dog costume above. Both costumes run around $20.00 with shipping.
The Star Wars Bantha Costume
While the Ewok costume tends to run large, this one tends to run quite small. That's a sheltie pictured here not a collie, therefore we recommend this costume to dog owners with dog under 25 pounds.
Bonus Costumes! The Holy Hound
We stumbled across this outfit, and thought it was too funny to miss this list. The Holy Hound by California Costumes can be worn year round, and will surely exorcise any
unwanted spirits in your home.
What a Puggly black sheep that it is. You can make something like this costume yourself, often out of the sleeve of an old sweater.
