Ann Siper
A cowboy costume is a fun and easy pet Halloween costume that is great for a cat or dog. Dogs may be a little more tolerant of wearing the cowboy hat in this Halloween pet costume, but you can always try with your cat!

To Make a Cowboy Halloween Pet Costume You Will Need:

1 red bandana

Rope or twine

Toy holster and toy guns

Doll sized Cowboy Hat

Elastic

Hole punch

Scissors

So, depending on the size and type of pet you are making this Halloween costume for you have a few options on the Cowboy or cowgirl hat. Smaller cats and little dogs can sue a Barbie cowboy hat.

Large dogs and cats can use Cabbage Patch kid cowboy hats. The kids may even have one of these in the toy chest.

To hold the cowboy hat on your pet's head for this pet Halloween custom you need to use a needle and an elastic thread. You can sew this onto the left and right side of the hat and have it run under yoru cat' or dog's chin.

You may also be able to find a cat or dog cowboy hat at the local Pet smart or Pet Clothing store in your town.

Now, on to the rest of the Cowboy pet Halloween costume. No cowboy would be complete without a red bandana. Large pets can simply use a bandana from yoru closet or the local clothing store.

You can also find bandana fabric by the yard at the craft store or fabric store. Pet stores also carry pet sized bandanas that would be a great addition to the pet Halloween costume.

Now, for a little fun touch you can make a leash out of a length of rope or even make it look like a lasso.

To Make a mini lasso for the pet Halloween costume you can simply coil a small length of rope. Use a piece of twine to tie this little bitty lasso to your pet's collar.

More fun options for this pet Halloween costume is a toy cowboy gun holster. These can be found at the dollar store r the toy store.

Small little water pistols or toy cowboy pistols can be placed in the holster.

The toys store, pet store, dollar store, and craft store will be your best bet for most of these materials when making the cowboy pet Halloween costume. Get creative and do your best to make sure you pet is comfortable in their Halloween costume!
