Dog costumes for the tag-along dog who loves trick-or-treating with the family.
Naturally, your dog should wear some sort of a doggie costume too. Now, you may think, “What? Another costume to pull together?” However, dog Halloween costumes are so easy to put together … your puppy isn’t nearly so particular as the kids, about his or her costume! Here we’ve got some easy ways for your pooch to be a neighborhood Halloween sensation.Doggie DressUp
Here’s another simple costume that dogs enjoy as much as their human companions: buy a cheap wig and streak it with a radical lime green, fire engine red or cool blue kit with spray-on hair color. Attach to your dog’s head with elastic, tied on like a bonnet, along with a pair of over-sized sunglasses (tied on behind the ears). Some dogs will try to remove this costume, but most woofers are big show offs, so it’s worth a shot.

Most dogs don’t mind being fitted with some of the kid’s old tees or even dresses. Add a tiara or hat and doll jewelry (pop-beads are good), as appropriate and your dog will feel like a million bucks come Halloween. Cinderella never felt better!
If you’ve never tried putting lipstick on a dog, you’re missing out on the funniest experience ever. Of course, you won’t want to use yours! Just get a cheap tube of lipstick for $1.00 in the cosmetics section. Even if puppy licks it off in short order, your kids will love the effect!
Another bonus for a dogs Halloween costume is that the dressed up dog may get a few extra treats tossed in the kid’s bags, by entertained people handing out treats on Halloween night.
Remember to pick up a box of yummy dog biscuits, so your dog doesn’t eat any of the (toxic) kid’s candy. You need to reward your party dog at evening’s end with real dog goodies!
