Top 10 Halloween Costumes For Dachshunds
1. Colorful Caterpillar Costume
The colorful caterpillar costume is perfect for Dachshunds! It is extra long, so it will cover your doxie’s back and it’s easy to put on. As you can see, my dachshund, Eko, looks adorable and vibrant in his new costume this year. You can find a similar colorful caterpillar costume on Amazon.
2. Little Rainbow Costume
The little rainbow was our costume of choice for Eko when he was a small puppy. We found this costume at Target. It fit our Dachshund puppy perfectly. Here is a similar one on Amazon: Small Rainbow Dog Costume.
3. Bumble Bee Costume
Gretta, my miniature dachshund puppy, was actually quite comfortable in her little bumble bee costume. I picked this cute costume up at Target. Here is a very close one from Amazon: bumble bee costume. This costume was easy to put on my puppy and allowed her to walk with no issue.
There are plenty of Fall Festivals and Activities for you and your dog to enjoy together this year.
Oktoberfests usually occur in the fall. These fun events usually include dog costume contests and puppy parades. It’s a fun opportunity to show off your Dachshund’s new costume.

Halloween Safety Tips For Your Dog
Secure Your Dog:
Whether your dog is dressed up in a Halloween costume or not, make sure your dog has their ID tag and collar on or has a microchip. If your dog gets spooked, they may run away. At least this way, they can be easily identified and safely returned to you.
Keep your dog secured and away from the door when you are handing out candy to trick or treaters.
Halloween Toxins:
Food: If your dog accidentally eats decorative Indian corn or a moldy pumpkin, they could get a nasty stomach ache. Watch them carefully.
Flowers: Mums are a gorgeous flower many of us like to display around the house in the fall. Don’t let your dog eat any mums, according to ASPCA, mums are toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.
Candy: Dogs can easily sniff out pieces of candy if they are within reach. Keep all candy away from your pup.
Symptoms of chocolate poisoning: vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, and seizures. Take your pup to the vet immediately if they consume any Halloween treats.

Halloween Decorations:
Halloween decorations can be hazardous to your dog. Keep electrical cords, cobwebs, and spooky dangling décor up high enough and secured so your dog can’t reach them.
Glow Sticks: Keep glow sticks away from dogs. Luckily, most glow stick liquid is non-toxic, but can still make your dog very sick.
Unfamiliar Faces in Costume:
Halloween costumes make familiar people look very different to your dog. Be aware that your new spooky look may frighten them.
When we had a Halloween party, my dog, Bastian, didn’t recognize us and went right into a seizure. I felt horrible! We now keep him in a secure and quiet area during Halloween events.

Nice article. Love the costumes. I used to have a Dashund, he lived to be 17 yrs old. Now I have two Yorkie. I sure do miss him.
Hi Teani, Thank you. Yes, they are adorable dachshund Halloween costumes. Wow, 17 years old, that is very impressive. It must have been very hard to lose your doxie when you had him with you for that many years. Thank you for sharing.
Love the costumes although I do not dress Layla up as she hates it BOL, tried one year and never again. Baby RIP did not mind it at all. Good to remind us also of how to keep our pets safe
Hi Ruth, thank you for sharing. Yeah, some dogs just don’t like dressing up in a Halloween costume. It depended on the outfit I believe. My Mini Dachshund, Reno would only sit still while wearing a dachshund Halloween costume.:)
I was about to say, ‘what, no hotdog?’ then there it was. I have to say the spider is my favourite though I wonder how comfortable it is. It will likely win a few contests though.
Hi Sherri! Oh yes, haha, I couldn’t forget about the Hotdog dog halloween costume, especially for the dachshunds. The spider dog costume is super cool. I agree with you, not sure how comfy it would be, but super unique in a halloween costume contest.
These costumes are so adorable! I especially love the shark and the spider. I also love how you included some Halloween safety tips at the end of the articles. Many dog parents don’t realize how scary this holiday can often be for dogs.
Hi Molly, thank you very much. The shark dog halloween costume is definetly one of my favorites as well. I just wish Reno would have liked it a little more. Thank you, the Halloween safety tips for dogs will hopefully help pet owners be more understanding towards their frightened furry friends.
These costumes are so funny! Oh my goodness the spider! Love them. A sensible side with the safety advice too.
Hi Melanie, thank you so much. Yes, dachshunds in Halloween Dog Costumes are really hilarious. I can’t wait to see what I can find for next year. Thanks for sharing.
