So you decided last minute to attend one of the Halloween Dog Events —
but you haven’t had time to get a costume? 👀🎃
No stress. These 5 DIY ideas are super simple, use things you already have at home, and most importantly: they come with honest dog-approved ratings 🐶✨
Sometimes the funniest costume ideas are the ones that weren’t planned at all…
👻 1. Ghost
A pillow case or sheet came back dirty from the laundry or your washing machine decided to add rusty stains to it? Don’t throw it out — repurpose it.
Cut a few holes (just make sure you don't overestimate the size of your dog like I did) and it’s ready.
Kali’s rating: 2/10
couldn’t walk properly, didn’t like being covered, not impressed
💋 2. Kissing Booth
Very cute for dogs that like treats and aren’t scared of a cardboard box. (Biscuit was… not the perfect candidate).
Biscuit’s rating: 6/10
scary box but lots of treats = fair deal
🩹 3. Mummy
Super fast and simple: you literally just need some bandaid.
Kali’s rating: 10/10
looks like she got in a mean dog fight, easy to walk in, face is free – a win
🍸 4. Martini Dogtail
You just need green balls or painted ping pong balls, a wooden stick + a cone from when your dog injured themself.
Biscuit’s rating: 3/10
martini is premium – cone is trauma 😂
🦇 5. Batman
Black cardboard will easily transform your dog into a superdog.
Attach it to the harness and voilà — easy to wear anytime.
Kali’s rating: 9/10
looks very cool, but… cannot fit through furniture anymore
Bonus Tip
Not every dog is made for costumes — and honestly, that’s totally fine.
Some pups want treats and chaos, not fabric and fashion.
If your dog would rather nap than dress up, a simple bandana already counts as “festive participation” in dog world. Zero stress, maximum cuteness, full Halloween credit ✔️
In the end:
Happy dog > perfect costume. Always.
