While he didn’t enjoy the headpiece as much as his pet parent, who couldn’t get over the little ear holes and antennas, overall, the costume was a success. Be careful, though: some reviewers mentioned it tends to run small, so this is most likely a better fit for small to medium-sized dogs—and it even fits cats. They’ll look adorable as this healthy and much-loved fruit and have an extra layer of warmth with the soft banana bodysuit that’s easy to adjust with Velcro straps. You and your pup will like the step-in design that makes it a cinch to get on, though only one of you will probably enjoy the nautical hat that attaches around the chin.

If you know your dog won’t tolerate clothing, skip the stress and opt for a festive collar or bandana—or forgo wearables altogether and celebrate the season in other ways, like autumn walks and pumpkin snacks. This one-piece costume is easy to put on with hook and loop straps around the neck and belly that allow you to tighten or loosen the costume to perfectly fit your pup. This Loki dog costume comes with three pieces: a straightforward bandana, a slightly more challenging shiny headpiece that attaches via adjustable Velcro straps, and a removable pin. The soft-fabric shell backpack has two straps that attach around your dog’s chest and stomach to keep it in place.

Reviewers report the costume is surprisingly durable, and easy-to-attach Velcro straps make it simple to get your pup in and out of this sea-rific look. You can even reuse the dress for a fancy occasion, like a wedding after Halloween is over (though we think the ribbon-tied hat and leg accessories shouldn’t be attempted on any but the most fashion-comfortable pups). There are many imitators, but this classic Batman dog costume from Rubie’s wins the top spot as our favorite due to its quality and realistic design. This two-piece costume comes with a cape that attaches with two Velcro closures and glasses that’ll transform your pup so quickly that you’ll think it’s truly magical. If you’re a fan of horror, then you’ll love this Chucky dog costume that’ll quickly transform your pup into a frightening character with a body suit that ties in the back and an elastic headpiece.

Though front-walking outfits can sometimes be tricky, they’re a good option for canines who don’t like bodysuit costumes, but we like how easy it is to pair this with a harness (unlike a lot of full-body costumes). We tested this on Lucy, a Beagle/Golden Retriever/Lab mix who has trouble with a lot of dog clothes as a result of her unique shape. This is quite a lot easier to wear than a front-walking costume—if your pup can wear a sweater or a t-shirt, we bet they can wear this (though they might forgo the hat). We tested this costume on Remy, who looked adorable as a little bumble bee scuttling around the house. We tested this with Remy, and while he didn’t love it, the outfit did get points for being easy to put on and take off, with three quick Velcro squares on the back.And if you’ve got good reason to believe your dog is ready for a full-fledged costume, give it a try! With every costume, we’ve tried to give pet parents an idea of how easy or difficult a pup might find the outfit. It can be a little hard to get the sizing right (we recommend checking the measurements closely), but pet parents who find the right fit report spectacular results. If your dog is full of mischief, this Stitch spacesuit costume is the perfect Halloween fit for them! Note that the hood may not align with all pup head shapes and ear placements (that’s the trouble with hoods with holes)—but it’s still pretty fearsome.
