Is there anything better than trick or treating? You get to get dressed up as a ghoul, goblin, ghost, prince, princess, major league baseball player, etc… Whatever it is your brain can think up! And then you get to go door-to-door asking people for free candy! If you’re headed out to get the goodies this Halloween, consider taking your family dog along, and make sure you get them into a great dog costume!
It’s a fact that trick-or-treating is exponentially more fun when you bring your dog along, or at least it should be. Bringing your dog, in an awesome dog costume, only adds to the whole experience of traipsing through the neighborhood on All Hallows Eve getting that delicious, delicious candy from each and every house. And if you’re thinking of putting your pup in a dog Halloween costume to compliment your costume, you’re probably in store for full-size candy bars as opposed to those fun-sized teases.
So if you’re going as a team with your furry friend this Halloween, consider the following costumes for dogs that will compliment yours.
HO HO OH YEAH!
Who doesn’t love the jolly ol fat man known as Santa Clause? Why wait until yuletide to dress the part? Dust off your St. Nick coat, your big white beard, and bowls full of jelly and hit the neighborhood this Halloween. Make sure to don your pup in the reindeer dog costume, though, because someone needs to guide the sleigh for the evening. Or, do the old switcheroo and you go as the reindeer and let your fur baby be Santa! That’s right, this dog costume is reversible!
Bring the Zoo!
Remember that movie, “We Bought a Zoo,†and how that family really bonded over the animals they worked so hard to protect? The Koala dog costume is sort of like that… Especially if you go as a matching koala and the two of you go trick-or-treating. Your mini zoo theme will not only have you and your dog bonding, but every other trick-or-treater out there will be stopping to take pictures and admiring you like the cherished and lovable animals you are.
Slight Dogleg Right…
There’s a saying, “Behind every great golfer is a great caddy.†(This might not be a saying, but it should be.) Turn your pup into Rickie Growler this Halloween with the Putter Pup dog costume available at FunnyFur.com. With you as your furry friend’s caddy in tow, nothing will stop the two of you from sinking hole-in-one after hole-in-one and scoring the best treats in the neighborhood.
 On the Run!
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak, especially if you and your dog go as prisoner and prison guard. You’ll want to keep your little law-breaker on a short leash this Halloween when you dress it in the Prisoner Pooch dog costume. With you in a prison guard outfit, the neighborhood will be asking what your dog did to deserve time behind bars. Reassure them that with good behavior, he will be up for paw-role sometime soon, and in the meantime, he deserves a treat.
There’s No Place Like Home
If you re-watch Wizard of Oz, you start to notice that the real star isn’t Dorothy after all. It’s Toto, with all of his scampering about, revealing the Wizard for who he really is, and generally just keeping Dorothy and her ragtag group of misfits safe. Now it’s your turn to be the star! Switch roles with your furry friend this Halloween when she puts on the Dorothy dog costume and you dress in dog ears and black fur. If you have more dog friends, you can complete the brigade by dressing them in the lion, tin man, and scarecrow dog costumes!
Now that you have some good ideas about how to team up with your pooch and go trick-or-treating as a team this Halloween, choose the right dog costume for you and your pup. FunnyFur.com has a huge selection of costumes for dogs, in a variety of different styles and sizes. And if you’re expecting some furry friends to come trick-or-treating to your house this year, make sure you have some good Halloween treats to give them! We have you covered there too.
Happy Halloween!

With Halloween just a few short weeks away, it’s time to start thinking about the perfect dog Halloween costume for your four-legged friend. There’s no denying that dogs are the cutest creatures in the entire world, but when you dress one up on a costume, forget about it. There’s something about Halloween dog costumes that just give us that good feeling… regardless of how terrifying the costume may be. (Yeah, we see you down there Mr. Grr-antula. We’re scared of spiders, but we’d still pet you.)
So, without further ado, we are proud to present 10 Unique Dog Halloween Costumes Not to Be Missed This Halloween!
Lederhosen Dog Costume
Are you kidding with these Lederhosen? It’s like someone said, “A dog costume with a hat is good, but let’s try adding a feather. And how about some suspenders? Ja. Das ist gut .†We dare you to don your pup in a Lederhosen Halloween costume and not have anyone try to pet them.
Shark Dog Costume
Turn your neighborhood into the high seas this Halloween when your little shark takes control. The pearly whites of the Shark Halloween dog costume will either have people running in terror or begging to give your best friend a treat or two. (Our bet is the treat.)
Wizard Saddle Harness Costume
“Look to my coming at the first light on the fifth day…†It was a wise and powerful wizard named Gandalf that uttered those faith-filled epic words in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Then, remember when he showed up and took out about a hundred jillion orcs?? Now it’s time for your dog to be the hero with the Wizard Saddle Harness Costume. (We still have goosebumps from that scene.)
Tin Puppy Dog Costume
All the Tin Man wanted was a heart. But when it came time for him to receive one from the great and powerful Oz, it turned out he had heart all along. Much like a pup in the Tin Puppy Dog Costume. In fact, the dog in this costume this Halloween will give everyone who sees it an even bigger heart!
Yoda Dog Costume
It’s not certain which is more powerful and a better means to get treats for your pup this Halloween: Jedi mind tricks or just looking like the wisest and most powerful Jedi in the galaxy in the Yoda dog costume. Either way, you can’t go wrong. “Take me trick or treating, you will?â€
Sea Captain Dog Costume
Maybe your four-legged friend prefers the nautical life: the open sea, fresh ocean air, skippering yachts and ships, hoisting jibs and raising the main sail… All that. If so, then it’s time to call your pup captain of the neighborhood this Halloween and get it into the Sea Captain Dog Costume. Permission to come aboard (and be absolutely adorable) granted.
Grr-antula Dog Costume
Spiders go with Halloween like Santa to Christmas. The creepy-crawly eight-legged nightmares have never looked cuter though when they are transformed into the likes of a dog costume. Sure, the Grr-antula Dog Costume might give some people the willies this Halloween, but isn’t that what a costume all about?
Chef Dog Costume
Is that Emeril Le-Paw-sse? Puppy Flay? Oh wait, it’s Grr-don Ramsay! (Hooray for celebrity chef dog puns!) Whichever chef your pup resembles in the Chef Dog Costume, one thing is clear, on Halloween night, everyone will be asking you what its favorite dish to cook is. And your answer better be snappy. (Maybe try woofles. Or pawsta marinara. Or anything on a wok. Get it?)
Wicked Dark Fairy Dog Costume
Wicked dark fairies are feared and notorious beings in fairy tale land; just look at the likes of the scary Maleficent. If you’re looking to add a little spice to the sugar of a pup you have, try on the Wicked Dark Fairy Dog Costume and watch the other pups dressed as Sleeping Beauty cower and run! (They probably won’t cower and run, in case you were worried.)
Superhero Dog Costume
“In a world where evil has taken over and the goodness of humanity is hanging on by a thread, all hope seems lost. But wait, what’s that up there? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s… SUPERDOG!†(Cue action music, a fight montage, Superdog defeating evil and flying off into the sunset with the girl… or guy, depending on your dog’s gender.) Deep down, we all want to be the good guy. And we’re pretty sure your dog does too. Ward off evil-doers this Halloween in the Superhero Dog Costume. It wouldn’t be surprising if the other dogs you see trick or treating stop to salute your hero’s job well done.
All of these dog costumes and more are available, in a wide variety of colors and sizes, at FunnyFur.com. The question now is, what are you going to transform your pup into this Halloween?

National Pet ID Week was started in an effort to improve the return rate of lost pets and reduce the number of pets taken to shelters. Pet ID tags are the first line of defense and the fastest way of getting lost pets safely reunited with their owners.
ID tags should ideally have either the owner’s name and/or pet’s name, phone number and home address. Other important information to consider including on the tag would be a backup contact phone number, any serious health issues or medications, a reward offer or note that the pet is microchipped. Other tips include:
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Keep a pet identification tag on your pet at all times
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Make sure owner contact information is up to date
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Have a cell phone listed as a primary contact number
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Include a home address, if possible
Pet ID tags are available in an array of sizes, colors and styles. Funny Fur offers plastic, metal, 14 karat gold and sterling silver tags that are plain or decorated with colored enamel, Swarovski crystals or printed designs.
As an alternative to tags, Funny Fur also offers personalized pet collars with contact information engraved on metal buckles or embroidered on the fabric part of the collar.
