When you think about it, there’s really no good reason not to put a costume on your dog on Halloween. Dogs simply look hilarious in clothes, and, if your pet will tolerate one that’s safe and doesn’t cause them stress, a funny dog costume on your pet can be a source of endless delight for kids and grownups on Halloween.

We’ve scoured the interwebs for top-performing (or all-around genius) funny dog costumes. Each of these 12 get-ups is a solid pick for quality, cuteness, and ease of wear.

Keep in mind 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 to guide you to their best fit.

12 Funny Dog Costumes

Halloween is the perfect time to showcase your dog’s silly side—this collection of laughter-inducing funny dog costumes is sure to get everyone giggling while bringing out the clown in your pet, too.

1. Top Pick: Unicorn Dog Costume (Verified Review)

dog wearing funny unicorn costume

This super-easy to wear dog costume (aka dog hat!) is the ideal Halloween outfit for all kinds of pets. Its simple one-piece design won’t have you chasing off far-flung parts or pieces, so we love that it’s simple and uncomplicated. Once on, our test subject, Vera (a schnauzer mix and “mutt extraordinaire”) didn’t even seem to know she was wearing it. (Though in other tests with cats, the results were quite different.)

This easy, breezy costume is also instantly recognizable—everyone will know at first sight what your pup is pretending to be. And, when you need to take it off, just unfasten the Velcro chin strap and your pup is free.

It’s uncomplicated, easy to wear, and cute. What more could you ask from a dog costume?

It comes in sizes for small to extra large dogs.

Shop on Amazon

2. Big Dog Princess Costume

I just can’t get over the idea of a big, beefy, tough-looking dog dressed in a frilly pink dress. This one stays on with snaps and is comes in a range of sizes for petite to big-boned princesses. Add delicate ribbons and a lovely cone hat, and your dog will be the prettiest princess at the party.

Features and review comments of note:

  • Includes three separate pieces: dress, hat, and leg ribbons
  • Reviewers note that snaps can be finicky, so you may want to add Velcro or safety pins
  • Ribbons optional for dogs who don’t tolerate anything on their feet/legs
Shop on Amazon

3. Blonde Ringlets Wig

Every pretty princess needs a head of lustrous blonde curls! This dog wig works as part of a more elaborate costume, but it also stands alone as a funny Halloween look. The stretchy elastic strap accommodates a range of dog heads. If your dog will tolerate wearing something on their head, then this is a can’t-miss pick.

Features and review comments of note:

  • Includes blonde hair with pink ribbons
  • Available in two sizes
  • Most reviewers say it looks great, but their dog doesn’t *love* wearing it.
Shop on Amazon

4. Holy Hound Dog

Is this costume funny? Well, is the Pope Catholic? This high holy costume may be a bit sacrilegious, but from its paw print details to the milk bone cross, it’s hard to deny its hilarity.

Features of note:

  • Hat fits comfortably with a strap to keep it in place
  • Adorable paw print design is downright heavenly (yeah, we went there)
  • Measure your dog and compare to size chart before ordering
Shop on Amazon

5. Pandaloon Panda Dog Costume Set

This picture-perfect panda is for small dogs only, so always make sure to measure to ensure the proper cuddly fit. The full-length hoodie is toasty warm, and we’re pretty sure you’ll never get tired of watching an adorable panda bear frolic towards you.

Features of note:

  • Elastic and drawstring help you get a secure and customizable fit
  • Soft plush fabric and reinforced feed make this a funny dog costume that lasts
  • See fit instructions to ensure proper selection
Shop on Amazon

6. Bucking Bronco and Cowboy Costume

This funny dog costume features a stuffed cowboy hitching a ride on your dog’s back. The adjustable velcro strap holds the costume securely in place, so no matter how fast your dog runs, the cranky cowboy stays put.

Features and review comments of note:

  • Made of lightweight cotton/poly blend that won’t irritate your pooch
  • Reviewers universally praise how funny this costume is
  • Available in a variety of sizes so small, medium, and large dogs can have a rodeo race
Shop on Amazon

7. Sensitive Singer/Songwriter Funny Dog Costume

Allow your small pet’s inner artist to emerge with this hilarious “Guitar Guy” (or is that John Mayer?) costume that will have the ladies (lady dogs, that is) swooning at the park. Just slide your dog’s front legs into the pants, secure the Velcro around their neck, and get ready to rock.

Features and review comments of note:

  • Soft polyester fabric is lightweight
  • Reviewers note their dog doesn’t love the wig…but the guitar is pretty hilarious on its own!
  • Available in small and large sizes (check size chart before ordering)
Shop on Amazon

8. Star Trek Spock Dog Costume

Your dog is about to go boldly where no canine has gone before. This highly logical dog costume turns your pooch into Mr. Spock. The blue jacket with gold detail around the sleeves is fitting for an Enterprise officer. And of course, the wig comes complete with pointed ears.

Features and review comments of note:

  • Officially licensed Spock dog costume with Star Trek emblem
  • Reviewers note the wig can be a little tricky
  • Coordinating Captain Kirk costume also available
Shop on Amazon

9. Toga! Toga! Toga! Dog Costume

Is this toga too good to be true? Not if you have a larger dog who’s looking for a party-ready ensemble for October 31. Not only is the costume comfortable for your pet (though the strappy sandal laces may be pushing it), it’s a guaranteed party every time your dog is wearing it.

Features of note:

  • Great option for large dog breeds like Saint Bernards and Great Danes
  • Includes toga, leather straps, and ivy crown that can also be worn around the neck
  • Velcro closures around neck and chest
  • Includes metal D-ring for leash attachment
Shop on Amazon

10. Prancing Spider Dog Costume

This furry spider costume for smaller dogs makes me laugh every time. Those glowing eyes, that floofy butt, those eight fuzzy legs! With separate head and body pieces, your dog will be able to move around as much as they want. Good luck catching your breath from laughing so hard.

Features and review comments of note:

  • Costume is secured with velcro strap around the abdomen
  • Separate headpiece is optional if your dog doesn’t like to wear hats
  • Reviewers note the legs can be floppy; you may want to add some stuffing or wire to maintain shape
Shop on Amazon

11. Pin Up Funny Dog Costume

Turn your dog into a beautiful bunny with this cheeky costume of questionable taste. The outfit includes a well-endowed bodysuit, ears, and leg cuffs for a full pin-up look.

Features of note:

  • Lightweight polyester won’t weigh your dog down
  • Add a wig for extra funny effect
  • Spot-on colors, bunny ears, bowtie, and four leg cuffs create an instantly recognizable look
Shop on Amazon

12. Rainbow Mohawk Pet Wig

One more wig, just in case. Honestly, nothing’s funnier than a dog in a wig. This one turns your dog into a hardcore punk rocker. Add a leather jacket, or let your dog run naked except for the wig. Either way, this is a simple—and simply hilarious—Halloween costume for dogs.

Features of note:

  • Stays on with two elastic strap
  • It’s a rainbow wig for dogs
  • What else do you need to know
Shop on Amazon
