Halloween is almost here, and you want the best costume for your small dog. Is your dog as excited as you are? Probably not, but your enthusiasm can make up for your dog’s indifference!
Do you have a costume picked out for your little dog? Honestly, most dogs really don’t like costumes with a lot of bells and whistles. It’s always best to keep it simple on Halloween. If you plan to keep your dog in costume for any length of time, my advice is to keep it as basic as possible.
But some dogs are just fine in costumes and like the extra attention and pampering they get when they put their outfits on. Pay attention to your dog’s body language, and if they’re cool with a costume, you can go all out for Halloween!
Here are some of the best Halloween costumes for small dogs!
1. Ewok
A lot of little dogs, like Shih Tzus and Brussels Griffons, already look a lot like Ewoks, so this costume might be perfect for your pooch!

Your Dog’s Comfort & Safety Come First
If your dog shows any signs of discomfort, unhappiness, or difficulty walking, we advise that you remove the costume immediately. Some dogs enjoy taking part in fun events with their humans and others — not so much.
Each dog has their own unique personality and you need to respect that. If your dog doesn’t like wearing costumes, don’t make your dog wear one. It’s always best to take your pics and then remove any items that make your dog uncomfortable.
Always keep your dog on a leash when trick-or-treating. Make sure they can’t get access to toxic candies on Halloween.
A human holiday is not worth making your dog miserable.
Be safe! Happy Halloween!
