I’m not one to dress my dog up in sweaters, raincoats, and tutus, but when it comes to Halloween costumes we’re all in! Ever since our pup was a rambunctious little (but actually giant!) lab, I’ve been getting Halloween costumes for him. Believe it or not, I put a lot of thought into these costumes (he’s my baby, after all). I wanted to share his costumes of the past years with you since I think they’re the best Halloween costumes for dogs. The costumes listed below come in a variety of sizes, so whether you have a small shih tzu, an extra large lab, or anything in between, there’s something for every pup!

The Gregarious Giraffe
Trapper spent his first Halloween as a giraffe, and boy was he cute! He didn’t know what to think of the costume situation at first, but was he excited! You can order your fur baby this giraffe costume here.
A Perfect Pumpkin
For year two we went traditional with a pumpkin costume. I was a pumpkin for my first Halloween, so I thought he should be a pumpkin at least once. He was a wild little pumpkin, so all of my photos of him in costume are blurry, but you can check out a variety of pumpkin outfits here. I think this is one of the cutest ones.
A Proper Postal Worker
Year three has been my favorite costume so far, and I don’t think any other will ever top it. Trapper’s obsession with our USPS delivery driver (who gave him treats whenever he saw him outside) led me to find this costume for him. Our pup even posed like a proper gentleman for photos, so I think it was his favorite, too. You can find this cute pup postal worker costume here. They have UPS costumes, too!
One Tired Taco
Who doesn’t love tacos? I know hotdog dog costumes are popular, but why not switch it up a bit! I thought the taco costume idea was funny. Plus, as you can tell from this snoozing guy, it’s clearly pretty comfortable.
A Distracted Dinosaur
I thought this was such an adorable costume. It’s fun, colorful, and kept him cozy in the snow. He was much more distracted by his trick-or-treat candy corn, though, so there was no good photo opportunity of our big guy in his dino costume. P.S. This dinosaur costume is a great option for very large dogs as it goes to 4XL.
A Bucking Bronco
This year we’re going buck wild with a cowboy rider Halloween costume. Trapper will be the bronco (or bull?) and his rider will be in for quite the adventure this Halloween!
That’s a wrap of the best Halloween costumes for dogs! I hope you’ve found an idea that both you and your best bud will enjoy and get a good laugh out of. And don’t forget those dog treats for you pup’s trick-or-treating, too!
