One of the creepiest, crawliest dog Halloween costume trends in recent years has been spiders. Spiders have always played a role in Halloween decor, adding a spooky element into the holiday fun. There are endless human costumes out there, but what about a dog spider costume?

From four legs to eight legs, we’ve rounded up possible costumes to turn your adorable dog into a creepy-crawly.

Dog Halloween Costume Safety Guidelines

Before dressing up your dog, consider whether wearing a costume is right for your dog. Not all dogs enjoy wearing clothing. If you do decide to dress up your dog, follow costume guidelines for dogs to ensure a fun and safe night:

  • Avoid any toxic ingredients.
  • Watch out for any potential choking hazards.
  • Keep it simple.
  • Never leave your costumed dog unattended.
  • Comfort is key.
  • Consider a test run before heading out with your dog in a costume.
  • Take the temperature into consideration. If they’re too hot, take off the costume.
  • Keep photoshoots short.
  • If your dog looks uncomfortable or if they might be in danger, ditch the costume.

If you have any concerns about a potential costume for your dog, consult your trainer and/or veterinarian beforehand.
