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?
