Classic Costume
When it comes to classic Halloween references, few things are more iconic than the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus. You can let your dog embrace their inner witch this year by dressing them up as a Sanderson sister witch! The costume only requires a hair wig and a onesie that resembles the dress. The best part is, you can pick any of the three sisters that you want! This costume works best for medium to small dogs as the dress onesie does not fit most large dogs.

You can add some extra flair by getting a little lion tail sleeve to put on their tail too! This costume works especially well with dogs that are tan, yellow, or gold.

Scary Costume
It wouldn’t be Halloween without a little bit of spookiness involved! If you’re looking to get a good jump-scare out of people, then look no further than the spider pup costume. This fuzzy full body suit comes equipped with eight spider legs attached. It also comes with a little headpiece that will give your dog lots of extra eyes. This is especially effective with smaller dogs because their smaller legs and stride results in more movement from the attached spider legs. It’s a truly frightening sight if you’re not expecting it!
