Wonder Woman!
Is your dog a superhero? If you answered yes, they’ll be ready for Halloween this year, when the most popular costumes, by far, are just that. Supergirl and Harley Quinn, the DC Comics’ super villain, are tops for human kids, but we model after them, so don’t rule those out, as well as Batman, Wonder Woman (who just came out as gay, y’all), Robin and Superman.
Empowered pets are de riguer! So, if you thought Fifi or Fido were already a handful, watch out. There’ll be a whole lotta powerful pooches prowling on Halloween. And, about saving the day? We already knew our babies saved the day for us. They’ll just proclaim it to the world on October 31st in costume.

Robin Rules!
For Harley Quinn, who may be evil but is super cute, as I haven’t found any pet costumes of her, you can go with something like @YamiVelasquez did on Instagram. She used safe pet paint to color her white Poodle’s ears in Harley’s signature blue and pink, and even had a mini baseball bat like Harley carries for the costume. Pretty cool!
And, people still like to amuse when choosing their pet’s costume, so funny and goofy are still in style. Think sushi, pizza and politics! Don’t be surprised if you see lots of pups sporting a blond billionaires’ wig, ok?
Pumpkins are still cute and devils never seem to go out of style. I’m personally tired of hot dogs and sharks, but Halloween is all about expressing your inner creative genius. Personally, I can’t wait to see one of the most creative Halloween parades for pets ever, at Tompkins Square Park, NYC on Saturday, October 22nd. Last year, over 10,000 people descended on the park with their pets. Stay tuned for my coverage on it all, from the most creative to the most outrageous!
Love this pizza slice!
Top pet costume retailer, Rubie’s Pet Shop, said its best sellers are Yoda, Ewoks, Minions and those DC Comics characters I mentioned.
For me? I’m shopping for a mini-Superhero family. We’ll be ready for anything!
What are you thinking for Halloween 2016?
