With Halloween just around the corner, it's time to get that costume ready.
For pet owners, dressing up a furry friend can be even more fun than picking out their own costume.

Haven't picked a costume for Fido yet? Check out this mix of classic, funny and fur-ocious ideas.
You can never go wrong with the classic Halloween go-tos. From the orange pumpkin to Dracula to a skeleton, your pet will rock any spooky look.

If people can dress as animals, so can other animals. Let's be real, a cat dressed as a lion is probably the cutest thing ever. Fur real.

Add a little magic into your Halloween. What about something straight out of Hogwarts or a genie lamp?

Superheroes aren't just trending costumes for humans. Face it, your dog can rock the cape so much better than you can. Just embrace it.

Disney costumes are always a safe bet. Try a traditional set of Mickey or Minnie ears, or go full-on princess with it. Have some fun.

Pets in costume are funny to begin with. But add some humor to it by picking a trending character or putting a comical twist on a common product. Don't forget, #TrumpYourCat was a thing that you could totally bring back.
