HALLOWEEN is nearly here and before you decide what to dress up as, you might want to consider matching your outfit to man’s best friend.
Don’t worry, we’re not talking about dressing up as a puppy, but instead the new range of Halloween costumes for dogs from Pets at Home, which starts from £2.
7
The store has released tons of new outfits for four-legged friends including a pumpkin, a giant spider, a witch’s hat, a Halloween dress and dragon wings.
Prices for outfits start at £2 for a witch’s hat for a small dog.
Before picking your favourites, make sure you check the sizes first as they range from extra small to extra large, with some clearly being geared towards smaller dogs.
As well as quirky costumes, Pets at Home is also selling spooky toys including a green or red monster, a squeaky Frankenstein and a squeaky pumpkin.
You can shop Pets at Home’s full Halloween range online and in store – just be sure to compare prices elsewhere before you buy using online tools, such as Google Shopping.
Amazon, for example, also has a pets range starting at £5.50 including wizard, witch and bat costumes.
While B&M has a selection including a small dog devil outfit for £4 and a zombie accessory for £5.
If you opt for Pets at Home and buy online, it offers free delivery on orders over £39, otherwise its standard delivery costs £2.95 and can take up to four working days.
You can order items to collect in store for free. Find your nearest Pets at Home using the store locator.
Just be aware that on all its Halloween outfits Pets at Home warns not to force a pet to wear accessories if it seems agitated.
It says you must examine all products for wear and tear and replace when needed.
The store also warns that pets can chew items unexpectedly, and says that if any material is ingested you need to seek immediate veterinary advice.
Here’s some of our favourites from the range.
Bee costume – £9 – buy now

This adorable bumble bee costume comes in extra small, small and medium.
It’s machine washable and comes with cute antennae to complete the look.
You can only get this costume at Pets at Home. Amazon has a similar option but it’s substantially more expensive at £13.27 for an extra small dog and £17.99 for a medium dog – plus you’ll likely be charged delivery fees too.
Spider costume – £7 – buy now
7
Suitable for larger dogs, this outfit is available in small, medium and large.
There’s no need to iron, bleach or dry clean this product as it’s machine washable on a separate, gentle wash.
We couldn’t find the exact same outfit for sale anywhere else. There are similar versions on Amazon, including this one that is slightly cheaper than at £6.72 – but remember to factor in delivery costs.
Lion outfit – £9 – buy now

This costume starts in extra small and goes up to medium size.
The cute furry mane will make sure your pup feels as majestic as any lion.
It’s machine washable, so it will be easy to keep clean.
We couldn’t find a similar full costume like this elsewhere, but if you’re happy to just go with a mane you can pick one up for £3.30 on Amazon – just remember to factor in delivery costs.
Ghoulish pyjamas – £10 – buy now

These pyjamas are patterned with spooky pumpkins and ghostly ghouls.
At £10, the outfit is slightly more expensive than some of the other costumes.
It will work for small, medium or larger dogs though.
Unfortunately, the PJs are hand wash only, so they are more high maintenance than some of the alternatives.
These wag-a-tude pyjamas appear to be exclusively sold through Pets at Home and we couldn’t find any similar ones elsewhere.
