This costume is pretty easy to put together, too! Just dress up like your favorite Pokémon trainer, and choose a Pokémon for your pup. Of course, Pikachu is a fan favorite, so you should have no problem finding a Pikachu custom at a store or online. Another option is to choose the dog Pokémon that most closely resembles your pup.

2. Dorothy & Toto

When considering Halloween costume ideas for dogs and owners, try to think of characters that are instantly recognizable. One of our favorite matching dog and owner costume ideas is Dorothy and Toto from The Wizard of Oz. All you need is a cute, light blue dress, a white blouse, a picnic basket, and of course some ruby slippers. Another fun alternative is to go as the Scarecrow or Tin Man and dress up your dog as the Cowardly Lion!

3. Little Red Riding Hood & The Big Bad Wolf

 

This is another iconic costume that everyone will know. It’s also one of the most inexpensive Halloween costume ideas for dogs and owners, and you can reuse it year after year. You can probably put together most of the costume with items you already own. For Little Red Riding Hood, the red hood is the most important part. Carry a small basket, and you’re good to go! You can dress up your pup like a wolf in a grandmother disguise like in the fairy tale. Or if your pup is fussy about costumes, just their natural fur will work just fine!

4. Disney Characters and Their Companions

 

Disney movies are famous for their lively animated friends who are always willing to lend their humans a helping hand (or paw).

For the rainbow costume, the possibilities are endless as long as you follow the ROYGBIV formula! Which will you be — the rainbow or the unicorn?

6. Beanie Babies

Remember those classic stuffed toys from the ‘90s? You can put together a nostalgic Beanie Babies costume if you’re willing to get a little crafty!

8. Hot Dog & Condiment

This costume works especially well for dogs of the weiner variety, but any pup can look adorable dressed as a frank!
