For many of us, putting together the perfect costume is one of the best parts of Halloween. Whether we purchase or DIY, dressing up is a great way for us to explore our more creative sides. And while it’s fun to pick costumes for ourselves, it can be even more exciting to pick costumes for our pets! Not every pet enjoys wearing costumes, but if you have a pet that tolerates it, the results can be anywhere from adorable to downright hilarious. So without further ado, I proudly present a compilation of my personal favorite Halloween costumes for pets.

Food costumes might be overdone, but this cat’s costume is really something to taco-bout!
Halloween isn’t just for cats or dogs, any animal can join in on the fun. Keep in mind that pets should be comfortable in their costumes, and even if your pet doesn’t like costumes there are many other ways to celebrate the holiday. So whether your pet is going as candy corn, Captain America, or costume-free, have a great (and spooky) Halloween!
