0 Halloween Costume Guide: Making Dinosaur Costumes from Dog Hoodies

After seeing how many people love meeting our pups when in costume, and how it opens conversations on the true nature of pit bull-type dogs, we have taken every opportunity we can to attend costume-required events. 

When we first entered this world of dog costuming, we were disappointed seeing how hard it was finding costumes for larger pups. Through some trial-and-error, we were able to figure out ways to outfit our larger dogs (we wrote about it here!).

We also figured out the hoodies, sweatshirts and coats the pups are accustomed to wearing to keep warm can make easy costumes. We had written how we used their sweatshirts to make Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes; here is another idea we had to transform their hoodies:

 We originally made dinosaur hoodies last winter after seeing a little boy in our neighborhood sporting a similar spiked hoodie. We wrote about how we made the spikes along the back, and how everyone in the family helped, in the post here. 
After seeing a dragon dog costume, we decided to take our hoodies up a notch and add some felt spots along the sides and google eyes on the hood.

The pups are accustomed to wearing hoodies, so we like how these costumes were easy and comfortable for them to wear. And they make good couple costumes.
Has anyone else been coming up with ideas for dog hoodie hacks?
