Fun Homemade Halloween Costumes You Can Make For Your Dog

For dog owners, Halloween just wouldn’t be Halloween unless the dog got in on the fun too!

Of course your dog has to get different “treats” — because candy and refined sugar are not good for dogs. But that doesn’t mean your dog can’t get their favorite doggie treats on Halloween instead.

I’ve seen people dress their dogs in all kinds of costumes. Some of my favorites have been when the dog’s Halloween costume is the perfect match to a person’s costume — like a kid and his dog dressed up as Batman and Robin or you and your dog dressed up as Raggedy Ann and Andy.

With Halloween right around the corner, it’s time to think about the type of Halloween costume your dog will wear this year.

Here are lots of fun and easy dog Halloween costumes that you can make yourself…
