10 Reasons Dogs Hate Halloween

Janine Kahn

At Dogster’s World Headquarters our inboxes are always brimming over with adorable pup photos, and sometimes they’re just too good to keep to ourselves. This month, the Halloween theme has predictably taken over these little love letters, and the cute is oftentimes accompanied by a dollop of “wow, that poor creature.” So, for your afternoon lulz, behold our roundup of the most, er, inspired costumes we’ve received in the mail thus far.

Is it just us or does Halloween seem to be way more fun for the dog owner than the costume wearer? Here are 10 reasons we imagine our furry friends might loathe this spooky holiday:

-12

10. It’s no fun sharing the position of “Top Banana” with three other dogs.

-11

9. We imagined we’d look more dignified in “service dog” garb.

-4

8. It is more fun to eat than be eaten.

-7

7. The Force is weak with some costumes.

-9

6. A stove top is no place for a dog. As for a pot, don’t even go there.

-8

5. We’d like to maintain on all fours, thank you very much.

-10

4. By no means lock our favorite plaything away.

3. If you need to turn your pet into a sex symbol, you may have a problem.

2. If you must dress us up, at least make an honest effort.

  2. Janine Kahn

    Glad you liked! ;)

  3. Ellie & Helga

    OMD!!!! The Banana Pups are our good friends the Weiner Dog Gang!!!! Too Funny!!

  4. Flecken and the Wiener Dog Gang

    HEYYYY! That’s US! The Banana Dog Gang! And you’re right…..it’s no fun competing with three other dogs for the title of “Top Banana!” BOL! Thanks Dog Blog, for showcasing us in your Halloween feature!

  5. Alexandria

    Love the pictures !

  6. The Guitar God

    I think if I tried to put my dog in some sort of costume, she’d probably try to take my arm off.

  7. Michelle O'Neil

    Love the pirate! The thong shot is disturbing! It’s like they slipped that poor dog a roofie!

  8. Daisy

    Awww, so cute!! Trying to decide what Daisy will be this year.

  9. Shiloh

    BOL! THAT MADE ME CHUCKLE – A LOT!!!

  10. Bailey

    These were very funny! You are right. Mom is having more fun with the costumes than I am. I get back at her by not giving her a good pose for a picture. She keeps trying though!

  11. AnimatedPet

    Love the Pug as the Alligator!

  12. Val Pegg

    Hilarious! Although, I feel kinda bad for some of them, especially the Golden with panty hose on his little face!

  13. Reba

    BOL! BOL! BOL! BOL! FUNNY!!!!!

  14. buddy

    Very, very funny!

  15. Isabella Shadow

    I think they ought to change ‘Trick or Treat’ to “Treat or Bite”… keep the skin-kids inside to pass out treats, take the doggies walking in their dudds and patrol the neighborhoods. Everybody has fun!

  16. Lucy

    BOL !! these are so funny. My favorite the top banana

  17. Patrizia

    Wow this is good! funny. :D
    and the dogs in costumes are so cute as well.

  18. Demon Flash Bandit

    Sure, my humans think these outfits are hilarious, but I say that they are cruel and unusual punishment. If it isn’t bad enough, I overheard Target has squirrel costumes–like any self respecting dog would want to be a squirrel. What’s next bird costumes? I do have to admit that the police dog who has the cat in jail at least can hold his or her head high among other dogs. Arresting a cat is something even dogs who like cats can appreciate!

  19. Healthy Pets

    Top banana!, Now thats a nice one. The one with the dog as a pet sex symbol was hilarious too, maybe she can be marilyn monroe and have that shot as a memento.

  20. Eight Rescue Dogs Here

    Gotta love themall. Hard times must be at the house where thedog only gets a paper bag. I’ll write mycongress man aout that one.
    Happy Howleen to all.

  21. Princess, HRH

    BOL! I just loved the Top Banana one. BTW, I absolutely love halloween….I love to trick-or-treat with the hu-kids and dress up too….I love all the attention, and treats! WOOF!

  22. priscilla

    haha too cute love all the pics there all good

  23. Bonnie

    OMG! I was ROFLMAO!! I want the alligator!! THe “Unknown dog” is such a hoot! How did they keep that bag on the pups head like that?? Those banana outfits look really hot though. Poor things.
    Boo just won’t go for costumes at all. This year we’re just going to attach a mop handle to her collar. I’ll spray her with endust and she’ll go as a dust mop.

  24. robin

    why do people dress up animals? It is cruel and immature. let them be pets!

  25. Elizabeth

    I LOVE the corgi!!

  26. Andrea

    LOL that’s makes me laugh a lot XD, but please make an effort with the costumes….

  27. Mar

    Oh, my goodness they are so cute!

  28. Benny

    These are so howlarious, I’m rolling over with laughter!

  29. Benny

    Oh, I forgot one thing, don’t people understand that Dachshunds would prefer to be nudists!!!

  30. NAOMI

    I HATE THE ONE WITH THE PANTY HOSE ON THE POOR DOG’S FACE. HOW IS THE DOG SUPPOSED TO BREATHE? THE PERSON WHO DID THIS SHOULD STIFLE HERSELF/HIMSELF AND SEE HOW IT FEELS.

  31. Keira

    My little Alyssa wanted to buy the banana costume for our dog, a Pom! It looks so much better on these dogs. Gads, I was great to have someone put a smile on my face!

  32. Debbie

    The pictures are so cute!!

  33. Pam

    Soooo cute! Pic #7 is adorable!

  34. Sheryll

    I am so NOT comfortable with the nylon hosiery on the pups nose…..

  35. Newmicon
