Halloween is almost a month away, and we're doing the most to provide oodles of inspiration for you to get started on your costume planning. On this year's list? Pet Halloween costumes, of course! You've seen the funny ones, the catty ones, the doggy ones, and even the underwater ones – but now it's time to see every possibility out there. Here are 100 classy costumes for all your furry friends.
Throwback Miley Cyrus
Brit + Co
Dogs dressed as Miley Cyrus might be the best thing to come out of Halloween this year. The cute little buns push us right over the edge.
Ewok
Brit + Co
Wait, that dog legit looks like an Ewok! You might just need to steal this Leia look and recreate this cutesy pair for the holiday.
Liberace
Brit + Co
The detailed work on the piano alone is enough to make us swoon, but mostly we love that this dog parent created an entire tableau for their pup’s costume. The framed photo of Liberace’s partner is an especially solid touch.
Thanksgiving Turkey
Brit + Co
How timely is this? The whole scene is set so perfectly, we wish Thanksgiving was already here.
Chia Pet
Brit + Co
There’s just something about this photo, the fence, the painted orange legs, and the face on this dog that makes this the best Chia Pet costume we’ve ever seen.
Harry Potter
Brit + Co
Pipe cleaners as glasses and the lightning bolt scar? Genius. These well-coiffed pups would look right at home at Hogwarts.
Katy Perry Dark Horse
Brit + Co
Take your pick — just make sure your pup doesn’t think that wig is a chew toy.
Mummy
Brit + Co
How crazy is this? This costume is so well done! A skeleton and a mummy are carrying a pumpkin, and looking rather stylish while doing it.
Doctor Pug
Brit + Co
Is there a doctor in the house who can sniff out solutions to patients' problems? Oh, there's Dr. Pug! This is one of the most adorable pet Halloween costumes we've seen so make sure your fur baby will be ready for their closeup if you let them wear it!
Flying Monkeys
The Tin Man
Where’s that lion from above? These little mongrels are gonna get him, and the little dogs, too!
Captain America
Brit + Co
Pet Halloween costumes should be effortless so your dog can do things like lounge on the grass until it's time for action. Some may call that 'winning.'
A Bunch of Grapes
F Yeah, Boston Terriers on Tumblr
We're not sure this pooch is super psyched to be a bunch of grapes, but he looks insanely cute!
Batdog and Robin
Celebrity Dachshund
Got two pups? The classic Batman and Robin duo is perfect for these dachshunds.
Bat
Etsy
If you've ever wondered why your cat's intrusive thoughts seem to win, dress them up as a bat to match their kooky personality.

We're not sure if this cat can actually walk around in the costume, but it certainly makes a good photo opp.
Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball
Apartment Therapy
This dog came in like a wrecking ball and hit us hard with that goofy grin.
Takeout-Carton Helmet

Alien invader… Space cadet… We’re not exactly sure what this cat’s supposed to be, but we do know we’ve never seen a Chinese food carton look quite this awesome before.
Titanic
Apartment Therapy
Our hearts will go on.
Bobsled Team
Costume Works
We see pride, we see power, we see a badass dachshund who don’t take no crap from nobody.

Star Wars
Dressed Up Dogs on Tumblr
We’ve seen a lot of Star Wars dog costumes in our day, including a Death Star made from a protective neck cone… but this one is even funnier than that.
Big Bad Wolf
Costume Works
Grandmother didn’t stand a chance against this sweet, cuddly wolf. (via Costume Works)
Frida Kahlo
Apartment Therapy
If this was a person dressed up as Frida Kahlo, it’d be super chic and intellectual. But this time, it’s a dog, and it’s hilarious.
Tiger
Daily Mail
This dog’s costume is better than your dog’s costume. And it's not even a costume – just fur-friendly paint. (via Daily Mail)
Madonna
Apartment Therapy
A nod to one of Maddona's signature looks is just what your little pup ordered.
Little Red Riding Cat
Buzzfeed
Something tells us the Big Bad Wolf wouldn’t mess with this catty little Red Riding Hood.
Dog Roast
Refinery29
This dog costume that keeps on giving throughout the year. You can use this one on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Sushi Cat
Laughing Squid
Okay okay, a cat can’t really cruise around town in this costume but… it’s great for a sleepy little feline.
Pumpkin Pie
Animals Tweeting as Owen Pallett on Tumblr
Sometimes, the simplest DIY costumes are the best.
The Little Mermaid
Washington Post
Those flowing locks, that clamshell bra, and that shiny green tail — we’d know Ariel anywhere!
Pilot Costume
Etsy
Your fur baby's likely calling the shots in your life so it's only right you dress them up as a cute pilot who means business.

We wish we could see a pic of the doggie as a box of Thin Mints, but this costume is still a knockout.
The Beast
Etsy
Get your Princess Belle gown ready, and you and your dog can have coordinating costumes.
French Cat
ETsy
Sure, if you could ask your cat if she wanted to be French for Halloween, she'd say "oui."
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Cosmpolitan
And finally, a hilarious pile of yarn spaghetti, styrofoam meatballs, and a cool attitude.
