Buddy the Bat
/granite-web-prod/35/5d/355dbe1b38cd456dbd57ac856027a84a.jpeg)
Why we want it: It pairs perfectly with a Dracula costume, and it's downright adorable. Bonus points if your dog is all black.

The Cowardly Lion
/granite-web-prod/53/c0/53c06a2536f74054a0f57410d70bbf03.jpeg)
Why we want it: This fluffy mane dog costume is easy to put on and hard to wiggle out of. It works well as part of a "Wizard of Oz" family costume concept or just as a (not so) ferocious lion costume. The bigger the dog, the better it looks.

A Four-Legged UPS Driver
/granite-web-prod/9a/10/9a1013681f98419a8375322b47f168e6.jpeg)

A Classic Grandma
/granite-web-prod/df/4f/df4f35db57654d6db11a594e9e26561b.jpeg)

A Puppy Latte
/granite-web-prod/48/17/481765c40630453d969906434eeb657b.jpeg)
Why we want it: Did you know Starbucks offers free pupuccinos for dogs? They're just cups of whipped cream, but they make trips through the drive-through so much more fun with your dog in tow. Imagine bringing them on a car ride in this? Iconic. If you have a pug, even better: That makes your pooch an authentic "pugkin" spice latte.

A Wandering Guitar Player
/granite-web-prod/c9/d4/c9d42a57b4544230a2619b07311f726a.jpeg)
Why we want it: Dog costumes that make canines look like they're walking on two legs instead of four will never not be funny. The sheer size of the dog's head in proportion to his height makes it even funnier, and the expression on his face is the icing on the cake. Just take him to the pet shop to serenade the customers. Maybe you'll even get a gift card or two for a tip.

A Shih-Tzu Sidekick
/granite-web-prod/0c/00/0c00200ba7cf4261b29182bee69ef0e5.jpeg)
Why we want it: Every Batman needs a Robin. No one said Robin had to be human. Dress up like this, and either your kids will think you're slightly cooler than before, or you'll have great photo material for your dating profile.

Dinner
/granite-web-prod/15/35/1535cb3229fb406a9f1ee2b999646e7e.jpeg)
Why we want it: It's a hot dog. Literally, a hot dog. This kind is totally inedible but infinitely more affectionate. Food for thought: If a hot dog dog eats a real hot dog, does that count as cannibalism?

Plus a Fruity Dessert
/granite-web-prod/ba/43/ba43cf35529d40bc871be80ee8a6763a.jpeg)
Why we want it: This dog costume is pictured on a cat, but we're not here to discriminate. All pet parents deserve to dress their fur kids in funny pet costumes, and nothing could be sweeter than the sour expression on this fluffy pineapple's face.

And a Butler to Serve the Appetizers
/granite-web-prod/8a/2a/8a2a2b4773f34a07b1d98f9b3d24d598.jpeg)
Why we want it: Most dog costumes only get used on Halloween, but this one has some serious range. Have him serve snacks during a girls' night in. (As long as you provide some for him, too.) Invited to a wedding? Now your dog can be your plus one.

Sven, Is That You?
/granite-web-prod/17/ec/17ecccab13d8484bafe0ba3aab7a744a.jpeg)
Why we want it: While this particular dog costume is marketed as a moose costume, it looks so much like Sven, the reindeer from Disney's "Frozen." Dress the rest of the fam up like Elsa, Anna and Kristoff, and you've got this year's costume contest in the bag.

Oscar the Grouch
/granite-web-prod/cd/4a/cd4af9e19ce14bed897b7bcb7f6a4a5e.jpeg)
Why we want it: For dogs with a naturally grouchy demeanor, a grouchy costume is in order. The same company also offers other Sesame Street dog costumes. Get some friends together, and dress up your dogs as the full cast.

A Tourist
/granite-web-prod/b8/66/b86683b00b5e4dcc8638e28a144d6901.jpeg)
Why we want it: The odds that any pooch will keep a pair of glasses on for longer than six seconds are slim, but they really add something to the ensemble. After Halloween, your dog can join you to a luau. Just don't let them get into the piña coladas.

Wonderdog
/granite-web-prod/bc/b8/bcb83181ae78449a8d73f55d6df6a750.jpeg)
Why we want it: Dogs obviously have superpowers. They can smell string cheese from a mile away and can hear you open a bag of chips while they're sound asleep on the other side of the house. Capture their magnificence with this Wonder Woman dog costume. While you're at it, get a matching one for yourself. So cute.

A Grumpy Rudolph
/granite-web-prod/d7/7e/d77e7a90ab674a749726bfe3df962777.jpeg)
Why we want it: Actually, this costume looks more like Santa riding on top of another Santa. Is he supposed to be a reindeer? Where are the antlers? Where is the sleigh? It doesn't really make sense, but the look on this dog's face is priceless.

Hairy Potter
/granite-web-prod/62/a1/62a1c8a3631646fb80ac5cbb646c8ec1.jpeg)
Why we want it: Harry Potter is old news at this point, but dogs dressed up as fluffy wizards are timeless. The glasses seal the deal. We're pawsitive these two can make all the Halloween treats magically disappear, too.
