We all love dressing up for Halloween, and many of us don’t know what to do for our pets. Costumes for them can be expensive, and many won’t fit larger dogs (like my rottie!). Hopefully the pictures and links below will give you some inspiration!

This appears to have been a child’s costume that they used on their small dog [photo via theCHIVE]

I give the owners and the dog big props on this one. I wonder if the poor thing could move?! [photo via Geekologie]

If you watched Harry Potter, you’ll know what this is supposed to be. Read more. [photo via Geek Stir]

This isn’t a dog, but I literally laughed out loud when I saw it. The costume is “Pork and Beans.” That therapy pig sure does put up with a lot! [photo by tlcpiggy via Martha Stewart]

Last year, I went as candy corn, and our rottweiler, Kona, went as a candy corn princess. Everything she’s wearing was from the Dollar Tree, or was something I printed out!

But at our house, we don’t just dress her up on Halloween. Any day is an excuse to dress her up. Here are a few of her best shots!
