Traditional Halloween Costume Ideas for Dogs
When it comes to choosing Halloween costumes for dogs there are many traditional ideas that you can use. These ideas may be something that people have seen before, but they work. People will be commenting on how cute your dog is and how cute the costume is. These traditional costumes are time testing and proven to be great costumes that can work for dogs of any size, age or breed. Best of all, since they are old standbys, these costumes are easy to find.
The Hotdog
A classic and humorous costume is the hotdog. This is one that you are sure to have seen on Halloween. This costume works because it is funny and cute. Any dog can go as a hotdog because it doesn't lose its humor, even on larger breeds. Of course, if you have a dachshund "wiener" dog, the costume works even better and is sure to have people laughing. You can usually find the costume in a variety of styles with different "toppings", such as mustard, ketchup or relish.
The Cheerleader
Female dogs look cute in a little cheerleader costume. This costume is great for many reasons. It is very convenient and easy to put on your dog. The little skirt makes bathroom breaks simple. You can get a cheerleader costume for almost any team or sport you can think of, so your dog can show team spirit while you trick or treat. The little outfit is usually one piece and comes with pom poms that may be attached to the outfit. You can also embellish the outfit with bows in your dog's hair, if it is long enough.
The Little Devil or Little Stinker
Let's face it. Some dogs are little devils and what better way to celebrate their naughty spirit than to dress them in a little devil costume. Your pup can step out in a red suit with little horns. If your dog is a little less naughty and more of a little stinker then try a skunk costume. Other dog owners will appreciate your sense of humor and completely understand why you choose these costumes to express your dog's personality.
The Hero
Kids love superhero costumes and your dog will too. A little outfit with a cape makes your dog the hero of Halloween. These costumes usually offer full coverage, so you can make it do double duty and help keep your dog warm if Halloween is a bit chilly this year. If you have a larger dog or a dog that really hates getting dressed up, then this could be a good costume choice because all you really must have is a cape and everyone will know your dog is a superhero.
There are really no rules when it comes to unique dog Halloween costumes. You don't have to spend days planning the perfectly unique idea. You don't have to try to make a homemade costume. Your dog is going to look cute and get attention no matter how you dress him or her up. You can make things much easier by choosing these simple to find traditional Halloween costumes.
