Halloween costumes aren't just for kids. In fact, they aren't even really just for humans. You can dress up your dog, too, and if you have any Halloween spirit at all — and a moderately tolerant pooch — then you totally should.
Dogs in costumes are absolutely one of the funniest parts of Halloween. Your kids will love it. And if you don't have kids, then your neighbors will definitely love it. And if you don't have neighbors, then at least it will make your TikTok, Snapchat, or Instagram followers' day.
Here are seven of the best, funniest, and downright most inventive costumes for dogs this year.
1. An Adorable Oompa Loompa
Willy Wonka is a classic film. Just because your dog doesn't know the movie, per say, that doesn't mean they won't enjoy channeling their inner Oompa Loompa. That green hair is too good to pass up, and it's one costume everyone will be cackling about.
2. A Hilarious Wizard
If you think your pup is magic, which of course you do, then this wizard costume might be the perfect fit. Don't expect that hat to stay on all night. And don't expect puppers not to eat the wand.
Wand not included, but a stick is a pretty great substitute.
3. Puppy Prisoner
We all know there are no bad dogs! But we also know some pups just love to get into trouble. You know, eating the couch, your shoes, or your kid's science fair project. If you happen to have a dog who loves to be naughty, this costume is perfection.
4. Belle From 'Beauty and the Beast'
We all think our dogs are cute. But if you think your fur beast is also a beauty, then what better costume is there than Belle from the classic Beauty and the Beast? This costume is so funny and cute it will have everyone roaring with laughter.
5. A Pup With Pipes
If your dog loves to make music with their mouth — you know, barking, howling, and so on — perhaps they'd love to be a singer for Halloween this year. This sparkly outfit has so much sass, it's only right for the most iconic pooches out there.
6. A Shark That Barks
There are few things funnier than animals dressed up AS DIFFERENT ANIMALS. This shark costume will have everyone feeling the Jaws vibe and saying "dun dun dun dun" all Halloween night. Let's just hope no one gets eaten.
