5 Easy Dog Costumes for Halloween

September 7, 2022

It’s hard to believe that it’s already October and Halloween will be here shortly! Today I’m partnering up with Nature’s Recipe to share 5 dog costume ideas that you can do yourself. Of course, these will be different on various dog breeds, Gatsby is a black lab dachshund mix so she’s on the medium to the smaller side.

5 Easy Dog Costumes for Halloween

Marilyn Monroe 

I went as Marilyn a few Halloweens ago so I already had the blonde wig now it’s time for an easy DIY. Add a white crop top on Gatsby and some faux pearls to drape around her neck and you have Ms. Monroe! I think blondes really do have more fun!

Chef

This one is so easy and so cute for a Halloween pet costume! I had a red bandana I tied around Gatsby’s neck and made her chef’s hat. I got some white paper and cut it into strips. You can super glue it together or staple it. Then get white tissue paper and play around with it for the perfect chef’s hat!

Dracula

I introduce Count Gatsbula! This was a DIY dog Halloween costume I made a few years ago from a black disposable tablecloth. I also had some old red ribbons lying around and the gold necklace is an old necklace I used to wear. Gatsby is ready for the night now!

Pumpkin

Gatsby had a ghost shirt a few years ago and decided to add a pumpkin to the mix. Order dog tees online and then either get a black marker and draw on the face or get some black felt and glue it on. DIY Halloween costumes at its finest! Gatsby prefers this since she doesn’t have to worry about keeping anything on her head!

Dinosaur

All this costume consists of is felt and velcro! The perfect pet Halloween costume. I got two different shades of green, measured Gatsby and cut some stripes, and glued it all together! Then I added velcro so it would go around her tummy. So fierce!

A few other easy ideas you could DIY costume in Star Wars, Beanie Baby, Harry Potter, Red Riding Hood or find a simple dog sweater with a pattern and run with it. You could craft a DIY Halloween costume or order on Amazon. Either way your little dogs will look adorable at home spending Halloween with the kids and family. Don’t forget to snap a photo of your furry friend!
