These adorable bat wings are from Barker & Meowsky for just under $20.

Made from black chintz, the wings fit around the back of your pup securely with black cording that ties under the chest. Available in two sizes, with the small fitting dogs up to twenty pounds, and the large fitting dogs up to 45 pounds, though the size says the larger wings can be tinkered with at home to fit larger dogs.

I think these would look really cute on a cat too, though I know none of mine would have anything to do with it!

Check out Barker & Meowsky’s other cute Halloween costumes for both cats and dogs, like a ballerina, pumpkin, or even a lion! Would your dog let you dress him or her up for Halloween?

Batty Dog Costume

The Howl-O-Ween Photo Contest is searching for the best costumes in three categories: 1) Do It Yourself, 2) Celebrity Look-a-Likes and 3) Pets & Kids.

Photos can be submitted to petfinder.com/halloween until October 31, and the winner will receive a Bissell SpotBot Pet Compact Deep Cleaner and cleaning formula. (Check out my review of it here!)

You can check out the entries that have already been submitted here, and Petfinder has even provided a few tips to get your creativity flowing~

~ Raining Cats and Dogs: Dress your pet in a little yellow rain jacket and attach a few small stuffed animals to an umbrella with safety pins or a hot glue gun and carry it around in case of a puppy downpour.

~ Fashion Police: Add a twist to the popular police costume by filling your belt with make-up and beauty tools. Outfit your pooch in a tacky sweater as the fashion police offender.

~ Gardener and Chia Pet: Simply drape a light piece of astro-turf on your pet’s back, and put on your gardening boots, hat and gloves.

Halloween Pets Photo Contest

This little patriotic dog costume is too cute, though, and if we had plans to leave the house on the Fourth of July (currently we plan to be sitting on the patio with some barbecue in the backyard) I might consider getting one of these for Chip.

The outfit is fully lined and made from cotton. It features little tuxedo tails, a matching removable bowtie collar and top hat.

Tails by the Lake has the cute one pictured above for $34 each and unfortunately are out of all sizes but XS, Large, and XL. BuyCostumes.com has a set that’s quite a bit cheaper but not quite as cute (here’s a bigger pic) for $15.

Fun Pet 4th of July Costumes

It has been your family’s tradition to get all dressed up for Halloween. Well, all dressed up ghastly. But the point here is you take the effort to get yourself a costume during this time of year.Most of the time, you would go with your kids to the malls and shop around for things that you would be using for your various costumes. However, what do you do with those costumes after? You stock them up in your attic for a real long while until you forget them? You throw them out?

Well, in case you did not know, you can create the most wonderful Halloween costumes (or any costume for that matter) using items that you can find in your house. For example, if you have tons of plastic bottles lying about, then you could possibly think of something that you could do with it. Do not run after a costume – let the costume come to you.

Oh yeah. There are a lot of great recycled Halloween costumes over at the Internet. If you do recycle stuff to make into a costume, then you know you are helping out the Earth have less waste.
