DIY Dog Halloween Costumes
If you are especially crafty or enjoy making things, this could be a great option for you! We've seen so many adorable DIY Halloween costumes for the dogs that come into our daycare, indoor dog park, and at our annual Halloween party!
Starbucks Puppuccino
What Seattle dog doesn't love a puppuccino? All you need for this look is some cardboard, a printer, and an extra-large lid from your favorite Starbucks. If your pup is especially picky when it comes to costumes, you can even use a brown dog shirt or sweater instead of the cardboard.

Beanie Baby Pup
Who doesn't remember and love Beanie Babies? This is a great Halloween costume for picky dogs. Just add it to your dog's collar!

Puppy Mummy
This dog Halloween costume is great for the not-so-crafty that have very tolerant dogs. Simply wrap your pup in gauze and tape securely for a spooky mummy look! You can even go the extra mile and soak the gauze in tea for an older look to the gauze.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Doggo
Ok, this one looks way harder than it actually is, and it's definitely a dog Halloween costume for the goodest, most tolerant of boys. However, it's sure to get first place in that costume contest! This costume is made using a green dog t-shirt, painted disposable pan, and extra fabric for your chosen turtle's mask. You can even simply tie the "mask" on your pup's collar if they won't tolerate it on their face.
