All of your friends busy this Halloween? Have a lame significant other who refuses to dress up with you? Never fear! You can still have an amazingly spooky and fun Halloween. All you need is an adorable four-legged friend and a willingness to be photographed because your outfits will surely be a big hit!

1. C3PO and R2D2

“And I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations. And this is my counterpart R2D2.”

Be the most envied pair in the galaxy! To complete the ensemble, you can pair your C3PO dress with gold flats and apply as much shimmery gold makeup as your heart desires. If you have a blue leash for your pooch, it would match their outfit perfectly.

2. Rey and BB-8

Rey: Where do you come from?

[BB-8 beeps]

Rey: Classified, really? Me too. Big secret.

In keeping with the Star Wars theme (but for those of you who prefer the new era of films), Rey and BB-8 are the perfect duo for you and your rolly-polly pupper. Highly recommended for badass women with French Bulldogs, Chow Chows or Shar-Peis. Imagine the fluff/wrinkles tucked into that cute robotic ball!

3. The Scarecrow and Dorothy

 

Dorothy: How do you talk if you don’t have a brain?

Scarecrow: Well, some people without brains do an awful lot of talking don’t they?

For this couple costume, your dog is the braid-donning star. You, on the other hand, are the lovable and loyal best friend who is willing to offer support whenever needed. Don’t even try to pretend that’s not how it is for you and your dog in real life, either!

4. Gingerbread people

When the gingerbread man was done, the little old woman opened the oven door, but before she could take him out, the gingerbread man jumped up and ran through the kitchen and out of the cottage shouting, “Don’t eat me!” 

Although Christmas is still a ways away, there’s no harm in getting in the spirit for Halloween! People will surely think that you and your pup are sweet with these costumes on.

5. Daphne and The Mystery Machine

You know we’ve got a mystery to solve so Scooby Doo be ready for your act Don’t hold back!

Would you do it for a Scooby Snack? Or just the promise that you and your dog will look adorable this All Hallows Eve? Of course Daphne’s outfit can be switched out for Velma or any of the other members of the Scooby Doo gang, but a sassy lady in purple just seems to be fitting.

6. Batman and Robin

Holy cute outfit, Batman! You and your little sidekick will be a super duo in your superhero costumes!  This is a fun alternative if you’re trying to avoid the onslaught of “Suicide Squad” themed ensembles.

No matter what you dress up as, have a safe and fun Halloween with your furry friend!
