Whatever your relationship status is, know that you’ll always have somebody to share a Halloween couples costume with: your pet! Halloween costumes for dogs and cats and their owners (known as pet parents here at BeChewy) will always beat out just about any human duo’s coordinated outfits at the Halloween costume contest. And that’s a statement we’re willing to stand behind. I mean, can you think of anything more adorable than doggy (or kitty)-and-me costumes—or more creative for that matter? Especially when you DIY your half of these matching dog or cat costumes.
We’ve created a few super easy and budget-friendly DIY Halloween costumes for you that perfectly coordinate with some of our favorite dog Halloween costumes and cat Halloween costumes.
Together, you and your pet can dress up as bumblebees, “The Bachelor” and “Bachelorette,” a hot dog and vendor and even avocado toast. In these matching dog costumes and matching cat costumes, you two will be the definition of #relationshipgoals.

2. Measure the circumference of your head. You’ll know the exact width of foam or cardstock you’ll need by dividing that number in half and adding 1 inch.
Based on your individual measurement, mark and cut the determined amount of foam or cardstock from your sheet. (So, if your head’s circumference is 22 inches, divide 22 by two and add 1 inch. You get 12, and now know that you’ll be using a piece that measures 12 inches across.)
Additionally, make a mark two inches from the top that runs the length of the foam or cardstock. Cut this section off. Using these measurements, you will now have a 10-inch by 12-inch sheet.
More Cat or Dog Couples Costumes Ideas
- Taco and Hot Sauce Packet: Be the hot sauce packet to your pet's taco costume! Paint your cardboard a red or orange color, paint on the words "mild" or "hot" onto the front, cut zig-zags at the top and bottom to make it look like a sauce packet, and strap it to your body.
- Angel and Devil: For a classic couple's costume, dress up with your pet as the angel and the devil. Dress your pet up in this devil costume; and you'll dress in white and put on angel wings.
- Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion from “The Wizard of Oz”: Throw on any blue dress over a plain white shirt, braid your hair into pigtails, and slip on a pair of red shoes. Pair with this lion mane costume. Grab a basket if you have one, and you’re all set to click those heels together one, two, three times.
- Cowboys: Throw on a flannel and your favorite pair of jeans, slip on a pair of your most Western-inspired boots, and tie a red bandanna around your neck. Lasso this cowboy pet costume for your partner and get ready to giddy up.
- Scooby Doo and Shaggy: Throw on a green shirt and brown pants. Then scoop up this Scooby Doo harness (hey, not all dogs like wearing costumes!). Jinkies! Could this matching dog costume be any easier to pull off?
