Purrfect Pet Halloween Costume Ideas

I cannot concentrate with that picture in front of me. Is that not one of the cutest puppies you’ve ever seen?
Anyway, that comes from PetFinder.com, who has a lot of really cute pictures of some of their members’ pets posted, as well as a lot of really cute pet dress-up ideas for Halloween — most of them you don’t even need to spend money on. For example:
1. Beauty School Drop Out: Dig under your vanity for your old-school rollers and shower cap, and go to town. If you have an extra calm cat or dog, paint their nails for a special effect. You may already have a “Miss Priss” pet, and now she’ll live up to her name.
2. Leader of the Geek Squad: Do you still have your father’s old, thick glasses? Throw on a plaid bow tie, and your nerdy pet will be the life of the party. (I recommend popping the lenses out of the glasses first!)
3. Sun-Bathing Beach Bum: You may not be able to fit into that itty bitty yellow, polka dot bikini, but your puppy will! Toss on a floppy hat if she’ll wear it, and use a straw beach bag for trick-or-treating. This cute costume will definitely earn some candy.
4. John Lennon, Ringo and the Gang: If you don’t have a brown toupé in your dresser drawer, this funny outfit would be worth a few dollars. For multiple pets, what better group costume is there than the Beatles? Parade them around and they’re sure to get some groupies.
5. Fido, the Friendly Ghost: Who says the ghost costume is overdone? It’s the perfect last-minute outfit for your pet. Just a couple of holes in an old pillow case, and your pooch will be the spookiest, but friendliest, pet on the block.
Are you going to dress up your pet(s) for Halloween?

I tried to dress up my dog Benny last year and that was the first time he ever growled at me. I think he was embarrassed because I was laughing so hard.LOL
There is no way my cats would ever let me dress them up. I also want that puppy, it is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Semi-Tzu
We have a shih tzu and for years have been teased about her flat face, no nose, etc… so I came up with the bright idea to make her a semi-truck costume because of everyones comments that it looked like a semi crashed into her poor little face. Everyone got a big kick out of it!
Happy Halloween!!!
I’m going to try and make my tea cup pomeranian the beauty school drop out. Such a great idea.
I like surprises.
I love surprises, count me in please
Love the animals and their outfits! I am an animal lover so the photos really made me smile!
Very cute. I love surprises.

Love the black cat
These pictures put a smile on everyone’s face.
The jester does not look happy…
That puppy is the cutest little thing. My little Pom doesnt like to have costumes on she tries to take them off.

The puppy is so sweet.
What a cute puppy!
Over the years, we’ve had various success in dressing our dog up for Halloween. Anything on his head just bites the dust though. The puppy is so priceless! Thank you!
I want that puppy! What a cute outfit..I love bees.
These photos made my day!
So cute. I don’t have a pet to dress up. But love the pictures
I love the cat jester!
We have a medium sized female dog (mixed). We are going to dress her up in hot pink and call her Paris!
I don’t have any pets to dress up but I do like to look at the funny pictures.

I’d love to get in on the blogtoberfest festivities!! Thanks for the fun times!!

That puppy is SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!!!
Pets in costumes are just too adorable. Thanks for the contest!
that really is the absolute most adorable puppy. that cat doesn’t look too happy. I have found that one probably shouldn’t dress up cats. they don’t like to be messed with.
the pets need to be au naturale.
I don’t think my kitten would keep that outfit on for more that 2 seconds.
i have been wanting to dress up our dog this year but i am not sure how.. these are soo cute.
Love the costume ideas! And the pictures are just too cute.
That cat pic has me laughing, too funny
That is too cute.
Oh my gosh that puppy is too cute! *melts*
That puppy is adorable!

Too cute! Not dressing them up this year.Thank you for having this! I love surprises. Thank you!

The puppy is adorable in the costume. My yellow lab would not like a costume though.
They are adorable! Some great ideas.
I love the photo of the cat in the jester’s hat! I have parrots, two cats and a dog, and some like to be dressed up, others run away at the prospect, and a few are non-commital!
We have a Tea Cup Chiuaua that I would love to see in the Bee costume.
