10 Great Ideas For Pet Costumes
1. Fruits and vegetables- We've all seen pictures of adorable dogs and cats in costumes that make them look like fruits and vegetables. Most any pet looks cute in one. A pug pumpkin, a Siamese banana; how much more cute can it get? Fruit and vegetable pet costumes look great on most any animal.
2. Vampire- If your pet has a feisty personality you may want to consider a vampire costume. Great for those Halloween parties or trick or treat outings with kids, the vampire costume is a classic outfit that doesn't have to be just for people. Your sweet little rabbit can turn into bunnicula for the night.
3. Animals- People dress up as people so why not pets dressing up as other animals. Your Chihuahua could be a famous pet like Lassie or Rin Tin Tin. Dachshunds look great as alligators. Strap a few wings to fido and he can be a parrot for the day. Any pet will be able to pull off wearing one of these pet costumes.
4. Famous People- Dress your pet up as any person you admire (or don't admire). Presidents, world leaders, movie characters; the list is endless. A Bulldog Benjamin Franklin would be adorable.
5. Uniforms- Have your dog go to the annual Halloween party as a military officer, or put a janitor's uniform on him. Pet costumes like this are sure to draw a lot of attention to your formal little pet.
6. Invisible- This is the procrastinators way of being funny. Put nothing on your pet and claim him costume is invisible. You're sure to get a few laughs and your pet will thank you for it. After all, not many animals actually want to go around wearing pet costumes.
7. Bikini- Great for a backyard summer party, the bikini is a cute and funny costume for pets. Seeing that little animal of yours in a teenie bikini will bring a smile to just about anyone's face.
8. Sandwich- Who wouldn't want to see little fluffy sitting between two pieces of bread? It's just hilarious to see a walking grilled cheese or ham sandwich. Your pet will love the attention, too.
9. Hotdog- You knew this one was coming: the hotdog. Of course this looks best on Dachshunds, but any pet would look amusing wearing one of these pet costumes.
10. Objects- "Are those two car batteries sniffing each other?" No, they're dogs dressed up in pet costumes. Pick any appliance or other inatimate obect you like and your pet can make it real for a day.
