The spooky season is upon us! While donning your own get-up is great, it’s even better to include your pet in all the Halloween fun. Finding the ideal small dog costume means considering your pet’s preferences, says Kacie Hu, associate global sourcing manager and trend expert at Chewy.
“If your dog enjoys wearing apparel and likes to show off, go big with a full body and headpiece costume,” she says.
Doggo’s not a ham? Then Hu advises going with a simple, lightweight small dog costume, like a dog sweater or shirt, and avoiding the extras.
From funny to scary, we’ve rounded up some of the best small dog Halloween costumes.

Your dog will have a ghoulishly good time prancing about in this comfortable hoodie. It has a hole on the back for easy access to clip the leash for walks. The glow-in-the-dark skeleton design is not only frighteningly fun, but it’ll also help make your pet visible during nighttime outings.
