Headless Horseman, Legend of Sleepy Hollow – For a more frightful costume, let your dog ride through the night as this haunted character.

Spiderdog, Spiderman – If an action hero suits your dog well, dress them up as this red and blue courageous character.

Yoda, Star Wars – This is the wise and powerful Jedi Master.

Dorothy, Wizard of Oz – For your female pooch, a Disney character may be in order. Make the costume special with a little toto.

Snow White – You’ll need an apple and a prince to complete this look.

Indiana, Jones – How smart is your dog? Smart enough to pull off this role as a professor, archaeologist and action hero?
