The most perfect dog Halloween costumes for 2021
Time is running out to plan your family's 2021 Halloween costumes. And if you're looking to dress up the whole family, Duke and Buddy need their own costumes too. Here are some starter questions, for inspiration: Does your pup love watching Disney movies from the couch? Or is your four-legged friend always ready to unleash her inner wild animal? Do you have a dignified dog who would, if he could, dress to the nines for any occasion?
No matter the personality your canine pal, we found something to suit. And, best of all, these Halloween costumes ahead are dog-approved (four paws stars out of five or better). Humans won't be disappointed either. Whether you're snapping pics for Instagram, taking your furry friend to a Halloween party, or trying to win the office dog costume contest, these looks are sure to turn heads.
