As much as we love dressing up for Halloween, we're equally obsessed with dressing up our pets — for the delight of candy-driven trick-or-treaters and, let's be honest, ourselves. Whether you have a dog, cat, or even a guinea pig, there are hundreds of costume options online, ranging from funny to scary; so many, in fact, that it can feel overwhelming. That's where we — PS editors who browse digital retailers for a living — come in to help.
Ahead, we've rounded up 11 of our favorite Halloween costumes for pets from retailers like Amazon, Target, and Nordstrom. Standouts include a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader-inspired dog costume (yes, really), a hot dog costume that's perfect for long-bodied pups, creative costumes that might surprise you (see the UPS worker costume on slide four), and even feline-friendly costumes your cat might tolerate (at least, we hope). Keep scrolling to shop our selects.

Best Bat Halloween Costume For Cats
Malier Halloween Cat Costume for Cats ($7)
This top-selling cat costume on Amazon is a must have, and the price is unbeatable. For about the same as your Venti iced coffee, you can style your cat in a pair of bat wings that's sure to make trick-or-treaters smile. Choose from three sizes: small, medium, and large.
