Looking for some last-minute couples costumes to coordinate with your S.O. (aka, slobbery other)? Ranging from adorable to delectable, here are 13 stellar disguises to inspire you with Halloween spirit for celebrating the holiday with your hound. (Note: no chocolate or candy corn for Fido, please.)
1. The two of you can be twins, like these matching skeletons who prove that we’re all the same on the inside: bones, organs, and unending love for each other. (Awww.)

2. Or you can stand out in a crowd like this ever-elusive Where’s Waldo duo. Good thing you can both rock horizontal stripes!

3. You can go as your favorite storybook pair, like Sebastian and Ariel from “The Little Mermaid,” where your pooch will be the star in her strategically placed seashells.

4. Or how about Cruella DeVille and one of her 101 dalmatians? Because part of the fun of Halloween is being something you’re not (as if you were a dog hater…HA-HA!).

5. Plus you can get the kiddos involved, like this adorable Queen of Hearts (who’s utterly incapable of evil) and her good-hearted puppy who’s playing a version of his arch nemesis: the Cheshire Cat.

6. Or you can always grab a pal and channel a trusty trio, like Mario, Luigi, and the dapper dino, Yoshi.

7. Your sweet snuggle wuggle can dress as a vicious shark and pretend to be intimidating for the first time ever. His love nibbles will resemble lethal chomps with some strategically placed fake blood on your arm, rather than a rubber replica (just make sure it’s non-toxic to dogs, please).

8. Involve your pup’s bff by dressing them as a precious pirate and this sharky sea monster. You can be part of the crew, too. Aye aye, Matey!

9. Disguise your doggie as a delicious treat, since you’ve always said he’s cute enough to eat. Put together an easy chef costume, with your dog being the delicacy du jour.

10. How about dressing your pup as a yummy caffeinated beverage, and you the barista? It’s perfect because your dog is always your favorite pick-me-up.

11. You can really give your tail-wagger the spotlight by dressing as yourself enjoying a delectable dish, like this inventive and silly sushi roll.

12. Or pun it up with your Pom and this famous street food…french fries! Er, I mean pomme frites. They’re European, so they’re fancier. (Other breed puns to try: Beagle bagel, Chow-Chow mein, or chocolate Malt-ese.)

13. If you’re really hard up for ideas, a simple fix is to go as a Beanie Baby collector with your fluffbutt being a TY stuffed animal! (props for going as your 90’s kid self.) It’s a costume that’s low-maintenence, perfect for any breed, and nostalgic. Plus, our pooches and the old-school toys have a few things in common: they’re both cuddly, cute, and you want to bring home one of each.
