Squad Ghouls: 20 Best Dog and Owner Costume Ideas

1. Hot Dogs and Condiments

There is never a shortage of dog hot dog costumes! I don’t know why but this is the one costume I see every year. Why not take advantage and grab a few for your pups? DIY a ketchup or mustard bottle outfit, or even a relish bottle.

2. Circus Performers

This circus theme gives you plenty of freedom when choosing costumes! Pick up some tutus for dancers or trapeze artists. Elephant, tiger, lion, and monkey costumes also work well. Members of your pack can also dress up as clowns, the ringmaster, a bearded lady, or any of the other characters in a traveling circus.

3. Flower and Bee Costume

Flowers and bees make a wonderful cheerful group costume. For a more unique twist, you could also dress someone as a watering can, spade, bag of dirt, etc.

4. Vampires and Bats

Grab a few capes and a few bat wings. Maybe add in some fangs for the humans and a sprinkle of fake blood to complete the ensemble.

5. Shark- Jaws or Sharknado

Sharks are another doggie costume that seems to pop up everywhere. You can get creative and do a Jaws or a Sharknado theme. You could also switch to sharks and fish for an undersea motif.

6. Hocus Pocus

This group costume will need the 3 main witches and the rest of your group can go as the cat Binx or the human kid characters.

7. Zoo Keepers and Zoo Animals

Grab some khakis and a sun hat and throw in any animal costumes you can find! This is another wonderfully simple way to coordinate your entire group.

8. Wizard of Oz

There are so many fun characters to choose from! There’s Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, Flying Monkeys, Munchkins, and the Witches.

9. Aladin

This magical dog and owner costume idea is easiest if the pups go as the tiger Raja and monkey Abu. Pack members can also go as Aladin, Jasmine, the Genie, or even the magic carpet!

10. Pirates

You can put together a band of pirates complete with parrot sidekicks or make it fancy by saying you’re going as “Pirates of the Caribbean”.

11. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Choose between the ninja turtles, Master Splinter, April, or any of the villains.

12. Hunter/Huntress and Wolf-dog

This group costume is perfect if you have pups that don’t like to wear costumes because they get to go as themselves! The humans can dress up as hunters and huntresses. Grab a sword, bow & arrow or a cape and you’ll be good to go.

13. Batman and Crew

Choose between duo characters like Batman and Robin or Joker and Harley Quinn or go bigger with an entire villain or hero team. One year Remington and I went as Batman and Robin and my friend joined us with her dog as Harley Quinn and Joker!

14. Despicable Me 

This is a great group costume because there is no shortage of minions. You can also dress up as Gru, Kyle, or the girls.

15. Avengers or Other Super Heros

With an endless amount of Avengers movies, crossovers, and characters, you can easily find the dog Halloween costumes in stores and online.

16. Snow White

Snow White, The Prince, 7 Dwarves, The Evil Queen, and cute woodland characters. All of these outfit options fit in this particular Disney theme.

17. Jurassic Park

This is another great opportunity to break out a khaki-heavy outfit. You can have several ‘keepers’ and dinosaurs to create your own Jurassic Park.

18. Harry Potter

You can dress up as main characters, or make it simple and just get some black capes, wands, and ties for the different houses you want to represent. Harry Potter costumes will never go out of style!

19. Scooby-Doo and Gang

Another great option if you have a couple of dogs that don’t like getting dressed up. Just add a blue collar and you have Scooby and Scrappy. The humans can dress as Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma.

20. Mobsters or Men in Black

Scrounge together some suits for your whole pack and you can go as mobsters. If they are all black suits- you got the Men in Black!
