Even better? 60% of pet owners plan to match or coordinate costumes with their pets, turning trick-or-treating into a full-on family costume event!

And if you’ve been scrolling for ideas, Google’s Frightgeist trends for 2025 have unleashed some paws-itively adorable inspiration. Here are this year’s top trending pet costumes:

🐶 Labubu – The mischievous character is everywhere this year, and your pup in those fuzzy ears? Instant viral moment.

🏓 Pickleball Champ – Because even your pet deserves to serve looks this Halloween.

🔮 Toto – from Wizard of Oz!

Glinda (from Wicked) – Sparkly, pink, and positively enchanting.

🐒 Flying Monkey – Pair this with your Glinda costume for a wizardly combo.

🐔 Chicken – Always a fan favorite. Bonus points if you cluck along in a farmer outfit.

🎤 Elvis – A hunka hunka burning cuteness! Perfect for pets who love attention.

🦸 Superman – A timeless favorite—simple, iconic, and perfect for any size.

🖐️ Thing (from The Addams Family) – Creepy, kooky, and guaranteed laughs.

🕷️ Pet Spider – The classic eight-legged illusion that always steals the spotlight.

🌳 The Lorax – For eco-conscious pet parents who want to speak for the trees.

🥞 IHOP – A hilarious new trend—pets dressed as a stack of pancakes or a syrup bottle! Perfect for breakfast lovers.

🐯 Derpy the Tiger (from KPop Demon Hunters) – For pets with extra sass and zoomies to match!

🐾 Krypto – The ultimate hero dog. Add a red cape and let them save the neighborhood from scary squirrels.

Whether you go for funny, spooky, or fandom-inspired, make sure your pet’s costume is safe, comfortable, and easy to move in. Avoid anything too tight, hot, or with small parts that can be chewed off.
