Are you stressed out trying to choose a winning dog costume this year? Check out the following hilarious dog costume ideas we sourced from across the web and snag a little Halloween inspiration.

When shopping for a Halloween costume for your dog, the most important consideration is size. Because dog costumes are not all manufactured in the same way, your pet could be a medium in one costume and an extra-large in another, so be sure to measure your dog and use your pet’s measurements and the product size chart as a guide to ensure their best fit.

You also want your dog to be comfortable—if he hates extravagant outfits, let him off the hook with a cute collar trim or another easy-to-wear look. Be sure to give your pet breaks from an elaborate costume if it’s going to be worn for an extended period. Costumes can be hot or heavy, so keep an eye on your furry friends.
