You have to laugh at the thought of dressing up your pup in a dog tiger costume. We love the irony of it. Perhaps that explains why cats are among the top ten choices for pet costumes! Your pup is sure to be the hit of the party. You might even consider dressing up as one, too, to make it a couple’s costume.

DIY Dog Tiger Costume
Making your own and your pet’s Halloween costume is part of the fun of the holiday. If your dog doesn’t like wearing clothes, you can still dress up your pup as a tiger using non-toxic paints made specifically for pets. You can draw the stripes or create the entire look. These products are safe, even if your pup licks them off his coat. You can remove the paint by bathing your dog when the party’s over.
If your pet doesn’t mind dressing up, you can make a tiger costume using an orange t-shirt, onesie, or hoodie. You can use a black marker to draw the stripes. A piece of felt wrapped around foam will work well as a tail once you’ve decorated it. Then, sew it to the back of the shirt, and your pup is ready to roar! The great thing about this option is that your dog can use it year-round.
