Halloween is a time to eat spooky snacks, dress up in ridiculous costumes, compete with your neighbours for the best-dressed Halloween house and generally make fools of ourselves. But who is that at our feet? Well, that would be our little four-pawed friends, and they look like they are ready to join in with the festivities. Yes, it's that wonderful time of year to browse dog Halloween outfits.

It can be extremely adorable and incredibly funny to see the dog running around dressed up on Halloween. They will certainly draw a lot of attention and admiration. Plus, if you take them out trick-or-treating with you, their cuteness may even earn a few extra treats.

As well as finding you the cutest, funniest and down-right silly dog costumes to buy online, we're starting our list with a matching costume so that owner and dog can truly slay together.

Halloween costume safety

As easy as it is to get caught up in the cuteness of all these amazing costumes for your dog, it's easy to forget that they're not humans. Make sure to avoid clothing with objects or accessories that can be swallowed. Do not dye your pet's fur and never leave your pet unattended in a costume. Plus, if they don't like it, they don't like it, don't force them.
