15 dogs who are costume-ready for Halloween

Halloween is (almost) upon us again and while many people are sourcing their perfect ‘fancy dress’ looks, others are busy styling their dogs.

The controversial act of dressing your pet up often divides us. You’ll either think it’s cute or sinful. But, if you’re the former way inclined, we’d like to offer some inspiration.

Dog costumes can be as extravagant as human ones – or as simple. Whether it’s a pair of devil horns, a lavish wig or outfit, there’s endless potential for creativity.

Here are 15 of our favourite Halloween dog costumes from years gone by:
