Costumes for pets

50

By Princessa

I was looking for a costume for this Halloween when I stumbled upon pet costumes. To be honest I had seen people dressing up their dogs with woolly jumpers for the winter, but a Halloween costume? I have never seen that, but then I am not a "pet person", so you would not see me browsing in a pet shop. However, looking at these cute dogs and cats all dressed up just made me want to own one... at least for the day!

Some might argue that putting your dog into a pumpkin costume is too much, it is just burying your dog's dignity, but if you are wearing a pumpkin suit yourself, doesn't that even it out?

Personally I don't think it is cruel if your pet does not mind dressing up. Some pets just love the attention as much as their owners, and besides, they look so adorable and funny at the same time! However, please DO NOT put your pet in a costume if this is going to cause her distress.

Warning

If you dress up your dog make sure that the costume is safe and she is not going to bite off and choke with pieces of it. Also make sure that the costume is a good fit and it does not restrict vision, hearing or movement or impedes her ability to breathe or bark.

Devil Costume

If you are going for a devil costume yourself, nothing better to match up than this cute costume for your dog or cat. Your little ""devil"" will have a hell of a time in this dog or Cat From Hell Costume.

Disney

If you are dressing your little Princess in a Disney costume, you can also try a Disney costume for your pet. The Mickey Mouse costume is ideal for small-medium sized dogs. Make sure that your dog is friendly because everybody will be wanting to caress him.

The little cute dog

For little romantic girls who cannot leave their doggy at home the "Cinderella" and "daisy bee costume" are ideal to dress up their pets.

Daisy Bee Pet Costume

Your pooch will look absolutely ""bee-u-ti-ful"" in this precious Daisy Bee Costume. Costume features a black and yellow striped dress with a yell daisy applique and black sheer wings.

The "Pimp dog"

For large dogs, the "Pimp dog" costume is a sure success. I am sure he will make lots of new friends dressed up like this.

Timing of this hub is very crucial. It will definitely draw attention till Oct.31, year after year. "Halloween" is seasonal keyword. Indian Hubbers can take clue from this.

Diwali Bhaiyadooj are approaching very fast. Please someone write on these keywords.

The bee costume is the cutest to me.  I just don't want the animals too tightly contricted by the material. Nice costumes, though.

Ryan: Did you hear the one about the Pimp dog who had a rough day? He got up in the morning, put on a pimp jacket and a button fell off. He picked up a ho stick and the handle came off. He was afraid to go for a pee...

I am always looking at pet costumes to come up with ideas for my dogs. We don't do Holloween, but there is a pet costume contest at our local fair where my older daughters show their dogs. We make our own costumes because the child has to dress up to and they have to go together. I am always looking for couples to dress them as. I like the Mickey Mouse one...the dog could be Mickey and my daughter could be Minny! Thanks for the ideas!
