What is the most popular Halloween costume for pets in 2022?

Around here, we believe Halloween is one of the best times of the year. Not just because of the tasty candy, but because of all the cute dog costumes donned by furry friends big and smol. After all, who can resist a floof dressed as a bright orange pumpkin? Or a spooky spider? Or a lovable lobster?

If you’re on the prowl for the best dog Halloween costumes, you’ve found yourself in the right corner of the Internet. We did some proper digging to identify the hottest trends and which doggy costumes Chewy pet parents like you love the most. We found that classic costumes like vampires and skeletons; crime-fighting superheroes; Disney characters; and animals dressed as other animals are among the top trends this year.

From werewolves to Wild West cowboys to witches, these are the most spooktacular Halloween costumes for dogs this season.

Nothing screams classic Halloween more than a grinning jack-o-lantern. This top-selling, two-piece dog costume features easy-on-and-off Velcro fasteners and a matching stem cap. It just might be the perfect pick for your lil' pumpkin. Sizes: XS-3XL.

  By Teevie on Oct 6, 2021

  Oh my Goodness! What an adorable pet costume. Fits well: tightens to complete closure so can be as tight/loose as desired. Adjustable slide. Made well: polyester faux fur, lined, not flimsy. Simple one piece costume for a complete costume look on a similarly colored pet. Lily, a 19 lb mini labradoodle, is wearing a small size.

• Absolutely adorable

  By Carrot on Oct 12, 2022

  This dinosaur costume is adorable. The XXL fit our 58 pound dog perfectly. The head does slip around a little bit, but much less than other costumes. It fell down over her eyes as she was sniffing, but it didn't bother her at all and made for some really cute photos.

• love it!!! Dino dog

  By love on Oct 10, 2022

  Huge fan!!! Went sizing based off all the reviews. He’s about 60 pounds and tall, and the XXL worked perfectly.

• Dragon costume

  By Steph on Oct 7, 2022

  i am literally obsessed with this. my dog is attending a kids fundraiser with me for work and was requested to be in costume. i ordered this one and the spider one and they are even better than i expected. absolutely too cute. the xl fit my 95lb golden great!

• Cute and well made

  By lisap on Nov 2, 2021

  Costume is so cute and fit my cat very well. The hat was a bit big for her, but she’s a bit of a chonkster and I had to get a size that’d fit her body, so I don’t think this will be an issue with other pets. It was easy to put on, and she seemed pretty comfortable running around in the costume. Her sister was an octopus and they looked so cute and funny for Halloween!

• Too cute!!!!

  By Mikey on Oct 16, 2021

• Great vampire cat cape!

  By Chris on Oct 2, 2022

  I got this, in size Medium/Large, for my ~18 pound cat, and it fits her perfectly! She likes to give love bites, so I figured this was the perfect costume for her. She's not a huge fan, but doesn't completely hate it either.

• XL-XXL Fits my 42 pound Aussie just right

  By Sophie on Sep 30, 2022

  Really nice quality. This size seems giagantic when my dog is really not that big by my standards. She is 42 pound aussie. And this size fits her like the picture, and is just long enough to not look too short

• Cat vampire costumes

  By megn on Sep 24, 2022

  I love them. They are so cute!! The mediums fit my 3 normal cats great however i have a lil fatty on my hands at 20 lbs.. shoulda got him a large but the velcrow makes it work lol

Your matey will be the life of the paRRRty with this two-piece getup that includes a pirate ship body and pirate hat. Sizes XS-3XL.

• Cute with comfort in mind

  By Dawn14 on Sep 26, 2022

  I really like how squishy this whole costume is. Also it stays on through the use of a wide Velcro band around the belly and around the chest. This makes it comfy for the pup because nothing is too restrictive and the bands are made of soft fabric. The hat has strong elastic, loops for the ears and a toggle to adjust tightness. It's a little wide for my dog's head so his ears are a bit squished but I won't make him wear the hat all night. Just long enough for cute pictures with his brother who will be a pirate. Size large fit this Frenchton well.

• Great Costume

  By Cody on Sep 26, 2022

  #ChewyTeamRated My girlfriend and I wanted to be pirates this year for Halloween, and this is just the perfect companion piece for our pup to wear!

• Super Cute

  By Lynda on Oct 7, 2021

  This costume is super cute! I like the easy on and off, just velcro around the neck and elastic on the front legs. And it makes for an easy fit since it doesn't go around his body.

• Fun costume

  By Vectors1Person on Nov 3, 2020

  This was a cute costume for Halloween. Easy to get on and off. The XL size fit my dog well. The hat didn't always stay in place, but that was more than likely due to my dog, not the hat.

• Great material!!!

  By Luchekelu on Oct 19, 2020

  I wish I had this costume for myself. It is made up of great material and the design is fantastic!! Unfortunately, They are little small for my dogs so I have to return them but I am willing to buy bigger size for my dogs. Highly recommend!!

• Our ‘lil Ware Woof and Texan Cowboy

  By WinstonChurchill on Aug 29, 2022

  Both are very cute on, I need to go back to the instructions to make sure everything goes where it should. Churchill wore the Woof and Winston the Cowboy they both wore the costumes pretty well, with not a lot of “debate.” We needed the XXXL size for our adult Boxers. We were so tickled we could find so many choices. Usually, we can’t even find a sweater to fit their barrel chests. We got 2 costumes and 2 sweaters. Everything fit well with no tight spots. They had the word wolf, they could have made it cuter with Woof.

  By Penelope on Nov 23, 2021

  By Whiskey on Sep 16, 2022

  Love the costume, great fit and adorable. The seperate head peice was a bit of a concern before I got it, but it works and stays on, at least for the try on!

• I love it on her

  By Pumpkin on Nov 8, 2021

  Quality product my basset hound Pumpkin did not mind wearing it at all even though the cap slid over her eyes she kept on going. In our senior community she was the head of the day

  By Lindsey on Sep 28, 2022

• Marvel fans…ASSEMBLE!

  By Danika on Sep 11, 2022

  If you’re a fan of the Loki series and fell in love with Alligator Loki, then this costume is for you (well, for your pup)! Missy (she’s pictured, I know, adorable right?) had to adapt to the head piece. I put it on her a few times to get used to it because (drum roll please!) we are entering a costume contest! I’ll be presidential Loki and she’ll be my sidekick! Missy is 40lbs and the size XL fit her perfectly! The costume is well made. Perfect fabric. It’s not too thick where it’ll be too hot for her to rock this outdoors in the fall and it’s also not too thin. I can’t rave enough about this costume! Get it! Thank me...

This hedgehog outfit just might be one of the cutest Halloween costumes for dogs. It includes a soft—not spiky—body that attaches around the chest and belly, and an adorable hedgie headpiece. Sizes XS-3XL.

  By Haley on Sep 18, 2022

  I wasn’t sure if this would even fit my 11 month old German shepherd puppy because she has kind of a weird build but it fits her perfectly and she looks adorable in it. (even if she wasn’t very impressed with my shenanigans) worth every penny. she’s going to look so cute for her first real Halloween. 🙂

When it comes to legs—and furry friends—we say the more, the merrier. This spider pup costume features a furry body, eight flexible legs and a separate headpiece with lots of buggy eyes. XS-3XL.

• The Wonder Woman costume is so cute.

  By dogemom on Oct 20, 2021

  By Dino on Oct 15, 2022

  My little man Dino looks so cute in this costumes. He is about 3.5-4lbs. The size XS fits right on him. The cap is a bit loose but can tighten it up. Cannot wait to do Halloween trick or treats. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for their pups.

• Love this! But be careful of the box instructions!

  By FlBeachgirl on Sep 16, 2022

  Love this UPS uniform, and my UPS driver who has a love affair with my beagle mix loves it as well! One word of caution, the instructions for the "box" state to cut across the dotted lines. Not sure if it was just my box but the dotted lines are in places where it should be a solid black line indicating you fold, not cut. So, before you start cutting away, pay close attention to it. Luckily, I noticed they were wrong, so it didn't mess anything up. Otherwise, I would say it's TTS, I bought a Large for my beagle mix, and it fits her just fine. It's a little big but I'd rather that than have it be too snug. The hat actually stays on too,...

• Adorable!!

  By Finny on Nov 1, 2021

  Finny looked so handsome in his getup and he got so many compliments. I got an XS for him and it was still a bit big, but he's 6 pounds so it's hard to find clothes small enough for him. It was a great Halloween costume that gave us a good laugh.

  By Lindsey on Oct 3, 2022

  XXL on a 75 lb dog, lots of room for a larger dog! Very soft fabric, strong Velcro. The little arms are easy for them to grab with their mouth, so keep that in mind if your dog will get frustrated with the costume quickly like mine. The headpiece does have ear holes.

• Cute Cosrume!

  By Kahc on Oct 31, 2021

  This costume is adorable. My cavapoo’s coloring matches almost perfectly. The measurements/size recommendation worked out well. The costume fits him well and seems well made.

• Taco's a Teddy Bear

  By TacoBear on Oct 30, 2021

  Taco makes such a cute Teddy Bear. His big ears prevent me putting the cap on him but didn't matter. He is a big hit in his outfit.

At the end of the day, the best dog Halloween costumes are the ones that your pet is comfortable in and that get you excited to show off your adorable pooch. Whether your dog is a powerful superhero, a sweet Disney princess, or a classic pumpkin, have fun with it and make sure to take lots of pics!
