Black cats, spiders, bats… Why these animals are typical of Halloween
Harry Potter costume
Dress up your dog as Harry Potter
There are only a few things you need to get a fun look for your dog or cat. If your pet is light-colored, as is the case with Westies, the effect will be prettier and the glasses will stand out much more. All you need is a pair of glasses that can be fastened to the back of their head with a lightning bolt attached at the top.
You can include a small cape that covers your entire body in a dark color, preferably black, and tie a scarf around your neck in the typical colors of the Hogwarts houses. Although the one that usually attract the most applause is the mustard and maroon color. On the other hand, you can use some accessory to complete the look such as a small broom or a wand, and you can also dress up to match in a cheap and very similar way.
Three-headed dog
Continuing with the Harry Potter universe, you can help yourself with a very original design and you won’t have to make a custom suit for your dog. You’ll simply have to find two stuffed dogs that look like him, although if there’s no other option you’ll have to make them yourself with a bit of fabric and felt.
Then, with the help of a small harness, place the two heads on either side of your pet’s head and in this way, you will simulate Fluffy. If your dog is small, of course the scare will be less, but it will be much more fun.
A bat-like kitten
If you have a cute black cat, you don’t have to make your life complicated at all. What you can do is build two small black wings like a bat. This will be a costume that won’t cost you too much to make since with a few small details you can make it look great.
Add to these two black wings some ribbons so you can attach them to your back like a backpack. To complete the look you can add two white dots near your collar – if black is even better – to give the impression that you have teeth because of their proximity to your mouth, and you’re ready to enjoy a terrifying night!
Bloody dog
If your dog is a Bull Terrier or a similar breed that has little hair like him, you can take advantage of the opportunity to make an original and very simple costume. All you have to do is use two black and red paints, something that won’t be difficult to find.
Draw some irregular lines on his chest and face in black and add other lines across his face, giving the impression that it is a very large, stitched wound. The bigger it is, the more it will look. Then you can add red paint to many parts of his body, such as the neck, the legs or the simulated wounds themselves, giving the impression that he is covered in blood, and you can include a different, more chilling collar.
Death’s Head
This costume is for the most daring because it takes work to make this type of costume. What you have to do is create a kind of puppet that you can dress in a small knight’s suit, but it doesn’t have to have a head.
Then you have to place a small pumpkin on your dog’s hand and put it all on top of your dog so that it becomes his improvised ‘horse’. Always try to do this if your dog is large because it will look much more attractive. Without a doubt, here are some great ideas for you to enjoy one of the most spooky nights of the year with your pet, but above all, with costumes for your animal that do not cause any kind of harm or inconvenience.
