24 Matching Dog and Owner Halloween Costume Ideas

While black cats may be the official mascot of Halloween, that doesn’t mean our other four-legged friends can’t join in on the fun. Especially if you’re the kind of dog owner who jumps at the chance to dress up your fur baby in fall sweaters or festive Christmas pajamas, chances are you won’t let a costume opportunity for your pet pass you by. When it comes to Halloween costumes for dogs, there are plenty of scarily cute options that they can rock solo. However, if you really want to incorporate them into the holiday, finding a matching costume for you and your dog is a foolproof way to ensure they’re the star of the show this year.

Part of what makes coordinating Halloween costumes with your dog so fun is that there’s so many ways to get creative with it. You could emulate a straightforward human and dog duo from pop culture, like Dorothy and Toto or Elle and Bruiser Woods, or you could do something totally surprising and cast your dog as the role of the human. If you’re dressing up as a family with kids who love your pet, there are ideas for group costumes as well. And while some are more involved DIY projects, there are plenty of options you can purchase and throw together quickly. Just don’t forget to pack some pup-friendly goodies for the trick or dog treat portion of the night.
