Halloween costumes for dogs, big ones included
By the Toodle team · Updated · Prices checked daily
Halloween costumes for dogs are easy to find in small sizes. Costumes that fit a Lab or a Shepherd are harder. These are the dog costumes in stock at the shops we work with right now, with the largest size each one comes in.
Measure your dog before you order: most costume makers size by back length and chest, not by weight.

How to choose a Halloween costume for a big dog
Large and extra-large dogs need costumes cut for a deep chest and a long back. Look for an XL or 2XL size, an open belly so the costume doesn't press on your dog's stomach, and fastenings you can do up quickly (hook-and-loop is easiest).
If your dog is between sizes, size up: a slightly loose costume is more comfortable than a snug one, and you can pin or tuck extra fabric.
Making sure your dog is comfortable in a costume
Try the costume on for a few minutes a week or two before Halloween, with treats, so your dog gets used to it. Check that they can walk, sit, lie down and go to the bathroom normally, and that nothing covers their eyes, ears or mouth.
Take it off if your dog keeps pawing at it, freezes up or seems stressed. A festive bandana is a good backup for dogs who don't like full costumes.
Costume ideas that work for any size
Simple pieces like capes, hats and wings work on almost any dog. Full-body costumes such as food, animals and superheroes get the biggest reactions, but need the right size more than anything else.
Questions
- How do I pick a costume size for my dog?
- Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, and around the widest part of the chest. Compare those to the size guide on the product page. If your dog is between sizes, the larger size is usually more comfortable.
- Are there Halloween costumes for large dogs?
- Yes. The first section lists the costumes that come in large or extra-large sizes. Check the size guide, since an XL from one maker can be a large from another.
- Will it arrive before Halloween?
- Shipping times are set by each store and are shown at checkout. Order by mid-October to be safe.
