Halloween — such a fun holiday to release your inner child and play dress up. But people aren’t the only ones who get crazed for costumes. Dogs are also into the holiday — or at least their humans are into dressing them up. And while some costumes are used over and over — who hasn’t seen a dachshund dressed as a hot dog? — others are totally creative, like the pups we’ve featured here. Enjoy these 10 creative Halloween costumes for dogs.

1. Bat dog

This dachshund is unlocking his inner Super Hero and looking incredibly cute in the process.

2. Boston walrus

Who can resist a Boston terrier dressed as a walrus? This little guy’s name is Echo and his costume was submitted in a costume contest hosted by Southern Living.

3. Martini pup

This one has become pretty popular for it’s DIY ease. You just need a cone from the vet and then you can easily make the olives. Still it is pretty creative, so we’ve included it here.

4. Spaghetti and meat dog

We’re not sure how this pup feels about his costume, but regardless, it is unique.

5. Boxer as a boxer

Well duh, if you happen to be a boxer, this is the perfect costume. It works well on bully breeds in general, however.

6. Skunk hound

If you have a black dog, this is a super easy DIY costume — all you need is some non-toxic colored hair spray (they make it specifically for dogs these days) in white and a tail (black and white pipe cleaners work great for crafting this).
