10 Halloween Dog Shirts and Sweaters That Are More Comfortable Than Costumes

‌Sizing:‌ When purchasing Halloween outfits for your dog, be sure to consult the sizing chart. You might need to whip out a soft tape measure and jot down your dog's measurements if you don't know them off the top of your head. There aren't universal sizes for dog shirts or sweaters, so it's a good idea to verify that the outfit you order for your dog is going to fit comfortably and won't restrict movement.

‌Care Instructions:‌ One of the biggest benefits of a Halloween-themed shirt or sweater is that most are machine-washable. Check the care instructions on any clothing you purchase for your dog to find out if it can go through the washing machine and/or dryer, or if it needs to be hand washed and air dried to prevent shrinking or excessive wear.

‌Practicality:‌ Halloween shirts and sweaters are not just cute and festive outfits; they are also a practical way to keep your dog warm and cozy this fall. These outfits are easy for pet parents to put on their dogs and can be worn while out on walks in the chilly weather.
