Are you dressing up your pup for Halloween? Some dogs love putting on costumes and heading out for some trick-or-treating. And chances are good you’ll see a few pups dressed in the costumes below. These top trending dog costumes of 2016 are taken right from Amazon’s Best Sellers list, as well as NRF’s 2016 Halloween Consumer Top Costumes Survey. Hopefully they’ll give you some inspiration for your own dog’s Halloween costume!
1. Lion
You may have seen a recent heartwarming commercial featuring a dog dressed as a lion, and maybe that’s why lion manes are all the rage this year. It’s a simple costume that won’t restrict your pup too much, and it’ll bring out his inner king of the jungle. Buy it on Amazon now!
2. Star Wars Characters
With a new Star Wars film released last year and another coming later this year, you’re bound to see some pups dressing up like their favorite characters from a galaxy far, far away. Ewoks, Jedi, Driods, Wookies, and Sith are sure to be out in full force this year, but my favorite is the Bantha costume. Buy it on Amazon now!
3. Superheroes
Marvel and DC keep cranking out movies and television shows left and right, so it’s no wonder superheroes are just as popular as ever. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman seem to be topping the list, but The Avengers and X-Men are pretty trendy, too. My pup is Batman, all the way. Buy it on Amazon now!
4. Pirate
One thing’s for sure, pirates never go out of style. And this costume gives your pup a hook hand, a captain’s hat, and a seaworthy swagger that’ll make him the scourge of the neighborhood. And since it leaves the back legs uncovered, it’ll keep your dog fairly cool. Buy it on Amazon now!
5. Dinoasaur
Jurassic World may have helped bring back the dinosaur trend, and with a sequel in the works, it doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon. There are all sorts of dinos that your pup could dress up as, like a Triceratop, a Stegosaurus, or my favorite, a Raptor. Buy it on Amazon now!
6. Puppy Latte
