Sure, putting together a Halloween costume for yourself is fun. But coming up with a fantastic Halloween costume for your pet? Now that’s a blast!
Why shouldn’t pets join in on the fun on Halloween? After all, if they’re sitting at home while you’re parading around in costume or handing out candy to all of the neighborhood kids, your pets are bound to get jealous. Halloween is a holiday for all: humans, monsters, aliens, beasts… Why should they have all the fun?
With that in mind, we’ve scoured the internet for some of the best and most adorable pet Halloween costumes that have ever been put together. From Rocket Raccoon to Harry Potter (or should I say “Harry ‘Pawter'”), you’re sure to find inspiration (and maybe even a how-to) for the perfect Halloween costume for your pet. Feel free to form ideas for future pet costume endeavors from our list of faves!
