You've already got your family Halloween costume all figured out, but could there be someone you're forgetting? It's probably your pet! This year, consider breaking out a funny costume for your dog. The Pioneer Woman herself has been known to get the Drummond pups in on the fun of adorably silly outfits. Just look at Rusty dressed as a Bull Rider or Fred dressed as a hot dog—oh, the irony! "It's been four years Rusty and Fred wore these," Ree says, "and I think they're just starting to forgive me."

There are options here for small dog breeds and large dog breeds, so there's no limit to your creativity. When deciding on a costume, it might help if you pick one that reflects your pup's personality. A cupcake, for example, is perfect for your sweet companion, while more adventurous pups might like pretending to be a race car or a bull rider. Once you find the perfect costume for your dog, just be sure to do a safety check before purchasing it. There are slip-on options for pooches who like to squirm and more complicated ideas for the companion who is more willing to go along with your shenanigans.

You can get in on the fun, too! There are easy dog and owner costumes you can wear to match with your dog. If you're planning on tagging along with a crew, then you might want to consider any of these group Halloween costumes. After all, your dog would happily keep celebrations to a walk around the neighborhood.

Keep 'em howling with laughter this Halloween:
