Chucky Dog Costume
Chucky is the serial killing doll from the classic Horror movie franchise of the same name. Complete with a fake knife and good dog overalls your dog will mimic Chucky to a tee. Unfortunately, I don’t think your pet will be as terrifying as the doll as this costume is just too cute.
Ewok Dog Costume
The Ewoks were the hit characters of the Star Wars movie Return of the Jeti because they were so damn cute. This is always a most-wanted dog costume because it transforms your dog into those cute creatures that inhibited Endor. Hook your dog up with one of these costumes and they will be the center of attention all night long.
Grinch Max Dog Costume
Max is the dog from the classic animated movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas. This dog costume is really simple and that’s why I love it so much. Much like the Grinch did to Max just put a pair of antlers on your dog’s head and viola, you have your very own reindeer. The chin is adjustable so you can use it on anyone really.
Stitch Dog Costume
Stitch is the abnormally strong Koaloa bear-looking creature from the Disney franchise Lilo and Stitch. If you have a little monster at home that likes to cause havoc and run around all day then this would be the perfect dog costume for them. Comes in 6 different sizes for any breed of dog.
Harry Potter Dog Costume
For the diehard Harry Potter fans, you can turn your pet into a wizard fit for Hogwarts. The costume comes in different colors and sizes so it’s not only for small breeds. It comes with the glasses as well but to be honest I’m not sure how well each dog will take to them being around their face. The cape and tie costume are amazing though.
Spider Dog Costume
This is the most flashy costume on the list and for good reason, it’s quite beautiful. If you are going to a party with the best dog costume prizes this one may very well win it. It comes in sizes small to large but I think it works best for smaller dogs as the spider legs crawl on the floor as they walk.
Jessie Toy Story Dog Costume
Jessie is the Cowgirl pull-string toy that first appeared in Toy Story 2. This outfit comes complete with a red hair hat and cowgirl t-shirt. If you are a red-haired owner yourself you may want to dress up as a tandem and get an Adult Jessie Costume.
Eeyore Dog Costume
Eeyore is the lovable, pessimistic donkey from the classic series Winnie The Pooh. Complete with the big floppy ears and pink bowtie on the tail this is a great reflection of Eeyore. If your dog is already a bit of a sourpuss or has the depressed look like a bloodhound then this is a great costume idea.
Star Wars Dewback Costume
I hate to pick favorites when there are so many gems on this list but this one may be it. The costume is a Jedi trooper on the back of a Dewback which was a huge reptile-like creature from the Star Wars movies. Your dog acts like the Dewback for the trooper and the costume is a surefire hit for anyone who greets your dog.
Yoshi Dog Costume
Yoshi is the cute dinosaur character from the Mario video games franchise. He is often Mario’s sidekick who gives him a helping hand through the games. Surprisingly, it’s hard to find an exact Yoshi replica costume but you can come close enough with this green dinosaur dog costume. If you have a bigger dog you can grab this Child’s Yoshi Kit and strap on the signature red shell to your dog.
Teddy Bear Dog Costume
This is one of the cutest costumes possible for your dog. Teddy Bears are cute enough on their own but your dog dressed as a teddy bear is too much to handle. If you can keep your dog stationary long enough and place them among other teddy bears you will be hard-pressed to point him out.
Cowboy Rider Dog Costume
This cowboy riding costume is one of the most highly rated and best-reviewed dog costumes out there. It’s so simple and easy to outfit your dog with. It’s a one-piece velcro strap and comes in 4 different sizes. When your dog runs the true magic happens as the cowboy rider on-top bucks around like he’s really riding them.
Lion Mane Dog Costume
This is my favorite costume for large dogs and especially golden retrievers. You can’t get easier than this Lion mane that fits right over your dog’s head. So simple and yet so effective as it truly transforms your dog into a Lion, especially with the right coat color. The mane comes in a light version and a darker hair version.
Santa Dog Costume
Get your dog ready for Christmas day by turning him into one of Santa’s reindeer. This cute costume puts Santa on your dog’s back making it look like Santa is riding him to deliver gifts to all the boys and girls. It’s really adorable and looks hilarious when your dog starts running around.
Christmas Tree Dog Costume
Turn your little guy into a walking Christmas Tree with this cute dog coat. Not only it is a fun Christmas costume but it will keep your dog nice and cozy on those cold winter walks. It comes in sizes ranging from extra small to double xl so it should be able to fit a dog of any size.
