13 Best Halloween Pet Costumes 2009: Cutest, Prettiest, Most Neurotic, Funniest, & More!

Halloween is my favorite time of year and I love covering the dog costume beat for InventorSpot.  For 2009, we have some new categories of Halloween costume awards for dogs and cats, including Best Looking Witch,  Most Literary, Most Neurotic and our first one out, the Best Swine Flu Worker Pet Costume Awards. (UPDATE: We've checked and many of these costumes are still available in 2015)  Enjoy them!

Doctor Dog         

After 36 hours on call, I'm still vaccinating those mutts. Hey, I'm dog tired!

2. Lady Bee's Best Pimp Pet Costume Award

I've been covering dog pimp costumes for three years now, and even though this is called  The Joker Dog Costume, I actually saw this dog being followed by several hot looking bitches.

 Hey, you gotta' pay steaks up front Buddy. That'll be five big ones.

3. Lady Bee's Most Neurotic Pet Costume Award

Prince of Frogs

Prince or frog... prince or frog... Are those the only two choices I have?

 Pumpkin Pooch

God, do I look fat in this get-up. And I can hardly move either.

5. Lady Bee's Most Literary Pet Costume Award

Puss in Boots is a famous 17th Century fairy tale about a tricky cat.  Now, who would accuse a cat of trickery?  Check out the Puss In Boot images on Google. Puss In Boots Costume
