11 Ingenious Dog & Owner Halloween Costume Ideas
Updated on October 19th, 2019
Do you love to match your costume with your dog at Halloween? Here are ten clever dog & owner Halloween costume ideas to make your family stand out this Holiday season.
I love seeing family photos on Instagram and Facebook of couple dressed up for Halloween and their dog matching them too.
Of course, not every dog enjoys wearing costumes, so if your dog doesn’t then don’t force them too.
However, if your dog starts wagging his tail at the sight of his latest outfit then dressing him up for Halloween is something to consider!
Don’t forget, your dog’s happiness is what’s important, especially when there are lots of things he might be scared of this Halloween.

Here are ten ingenious family costume ideas for you and your dog.
Dog and owner Halloween costume ideas
You could be ultra-creative this year and make your own doggie Halloween costume on one of these themes, but in case (like me!) you aren’t that handy with a needle and thread, there are Amazon links below each costume to go ahead and buy them.
Lion and lion tamer
Did someone say ‘RAWRRRRRR’?
Put the chills into your neighbors by dressing your dog up as a lion with a big furry main.
This works especially well if you have a large pale-coloured dog such as a labrador, retriever or bullmastiff as they really given off the ‘lion’ vibe once you add the main!
These costumes would also be fabulous for a Greatest Showmen themed Halloween party.
