Pro Tips:

  • If your dog isn’t thrilled about wearing the headband for long, no problem. Use it just for photos and stick with the bandana for the rest of the day. I think Zelda shook hers off in minutes.

  • Some headbands are a little wide for smaller dogs—if that’s the case, you can gently secure them with a soft tie under the chin. Or look for a child size witch hat headband.

  • Pair with your own witch costume for a matching look. (Yes, I’m absolutely suggesting a dog + human witch squad. 😂)

Halloween costumes for dogs can be hit or miss. Some are adorable, others are complicated, and a few are just plain uncomfortable for our pups. Last year, I accidentally discovered what might be the easiest dog Halloween costume ever—and it wasn’t even marketed for dogs.

👉 I found these mini witch hats glued onto headbands for humans on Amazon. That’s right, human headbands. I figured, why not try them on the dogs? and guess what—they worked perfectly! 🧙‍♀️🐾

Why It Works:

  • 🧙 Instant Witch Vibes: Pop on the headband and boom—your pup’s a witch. Add a Halloween bandana (or any orange, black, or purple one you already have) and you’ve got a full costume in under a minute.

  • 💸 Budget-Friendly: These headbands are super cheap compared to “official” dog costumes.

  • 🐾 Low Effort, High Cuteness: No sewing, no fitting sleeves over paws, no fighting with complicated outfits. Just slide the headband on and snap some pics.

  • 📸 Photo Ready: Perfect for Halloween Instagram posts or just making the neighbors smile on walks.

You can see how mine looked last year. Everyone thought I had gone all-out with costumes… but really, it was just a human headband and some Halloween bandanas I already owned. Easiest win ever.

Plus, I already own a set of 12 Halloween dog bandanas so I can use the hats year after year with different bandanas for a new look each year.

Bottom line: You don’t need an elaborate costume to include your dogs in the Halloween fun. A human witch headband + a festive bandana is all it takes to turn your pup into the cutest little witch on the block. 🎃🐾
