'Good Boys Have a Dress Code': Matching Halloween Costume Ideas for Dogs Dressing Up Together

I need to know how people decide which of their dogs gets to be Batman. Does the oldest one get the job? And how do you explain to the other dog that Robin is an equally important role? 

These are the questions I would get stuck on while planning matching Halloween costumes for my dogs. Meanwhile, my dogs would be waiting for me to finish whatever this is so we could go outside. They have a perfectly good outfit already. It has fur and everything.

You can also build a costume around the relationship your dogs have. Like, who's the one who follows his buddy everywhere? He was born to play a sidekick. On the other hand, two dogs who get into everything together could make an excellent pair of bandits. Partners in treats. That duo is so ready to steal every treat they see nearby.

If you're gathering dog Halloween costume ideas, think about your favorite movie duo, a familiar food pairing that you like, or just the same silly outfit in two sizes.  

You could even recruit your dog's best friend from the park. They already lose their minds when they see each other, so imagine the reunion when they're both dressed up as chickens. I would need to take many pictures of that encounter. 

And if you have more than two dogs, you can keep adding characters. A whole little group of Minions? Yes, please. Imagine opening the front door and finding that bunch waiting to greet you. But whatever theme you choose, your dogs will share the costumes, your couch and probably your personal space too. The treats might require separate negotiations, though.
