20 Trendy Pet Halloween Costumes For Dogs And Cats

Our dogs may not have been able to watch the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie in theaters this year, but they can still don the relevant costume for Halloween. Even if the pup refuses to wear the wig portion, the suit alone is still pretty iconic.

The Minions are trendy year after year because it seems like there's always a new movie arriving in theaters that features them. In 2024, it was Despicable Me 4. Channel their cute Minion energy in this dog costume. It has arms and legs so it'll look like a Minion is running around whenever the pup moves.

Our dogs aren't regular dogs, they're cool dogs. And they'll definitely look cool in a pink Mean Girls tracksuit. The Mean Girls musical movie hit theaters earlier this year, so this Halloween costume is totally topical. Now we just want a matching one to wear with our pups.

The 2024 Olympics may be over, but we can keep the Team USA spirit alive via this dog Halloween costume. It's just a simple Team USA T-shirt so it shouldn't bother the pup too much to wear. We just need to decide which sport we think our dog would compete in, if they could.

Deadpool & Wolverine was one of the biggest movies of the year. It was known for featuring a bunch of variants of Deadpool, like Lady Deadpool, Kidpool, and Dogpool. We can have our own Dogpool at home thanks to this cute Deadpool dog Halloween costume.

This is a current pop culture costume because there was a new Garfield movie released this year featuring Chris Pratt as the voice actor for Garfield himself. But we kind of love the irony of dressing a dog up as a famous cat for Halloween. People won't really see that coming.

The Stanley Cup water bottle continues to be a trendy item, frequently selling out drops and doing collabs with brands like Love Shack Fancy and celebs like Olivia Rodrigo. But there's another Stanley Cup — the hockey trophy. So this hockey dog costume is subtle enough that people won't realize why it's trendy — but we'll know in our hearts.

The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2024, so it makes for a topical pet Halloween costume. But there are other team jerseys available under this link for people who just can't imagine their pet representing a team that's not their own. Any football player dog is still cute.

Pet parents with two animals can dress one as a Chiefs player and the other as Taylor Swift, since she's dating NFL player Travis Kelce. This cute pet shirt comes in a cat or dog size and is a nod to the shirts Taylor wears during the Red portion of her Eras Tour concert.

Cats are the perfect pets to channel Wednesday Addams' couldn't-care-less attitude. The braids alone from this costume will indicate who the kitty is dressed up as, so if they won't wear the collar too, that's OK. Sometimes less is more when dressing up our cats.

One of the fastest rising singers of the year was Chappell Roan, who's known for her hit song "Pink Pony Club." Our cats can dress up like Chappell by donning this cute pink cowboy set. It comes with a pink bandana and a little pink cowboy hat. Again, for cats who don't like to be dressed up, wearing one item or the other still gets the point across.

Singer Charli XCX's lime green album Brat quickly gained popularity this year, leading to many people declaring it a "Brat Summer." Our feline friends can have a Brat Summer (or a Cat Summer) this Halloween thanks to this green Brat-themed hoodie from Etsy.

Any fans of The Bear out there? Since the Emmy award-winning show is centered around a chef, this chef cat costume is both cute and topical. The outfit comes with a miniature chefs coat and hat, but even just wearing the hat will evoke the same idea.

One of the big news storylines of 2024 was the two astronauts who got stranded in space. As NPR reports, they were on an eight-day mission that turned into a months-long one due to issues with the transport vehicle. Now our kitties can channel this topical situation with an astronaut costume.

(Don't worry the real astronauts are in the process of being rescued, reports the Associated Press.)

Kung Fu Panda 4 was released in early 2024, so there's never been a better time to dress our pets up like pandas. Fortunately this costume is made simple for cats. It comes with a fuzzy white headpiece that has two black ears. It's giving panda while not being a complex costume that a cat would hate.

It's always a good time to treat our feline friends as the kings and queens they are. This royal cape seems easy enough to put on, and it will make the cats look super sophisticated. The kitties may like their royal treatment so much they won't want to take the costume off.

Every year it seems that stores start stocking Christmas decor earlier and earlier. We've seen it on shelves in September! We can pay a cheeky nod to that by dressing our cat up as a holiday elf. Sure, it may only be Halloween, but, in this outfit, the cat will already be looking ahead to December.
