This year has been an interesting year to say the least. Together, we found comfort in new hobbies, shows and memes. And while some came and went, others stood as lasting trends in pop culture.

For those dog parents looking to dress up their pup this year for Halloween — either for a virtual meetup or a socially-distanced walk — here are the best dog Halloween costumes for 2020.

1. Sourdough Bread

You could say bread baking was a “rising” trend this year. During quarantine, people took to the kitchen to relieve stress and brush up on their skills. And sourdough loaves definitely took the cake. So, what better Halloween costume than dressing your dog up as a slice of sourdough bread.

7. Zoom Attendee

Last year, many of us had no idea what Zoom even was. Now, we (sometimes reluctantly) dress our best and change our virtual backgrounds to spice video calls up a bit. Dress your dog up as a Zoom pup with a tie and add a cardboard frame for the computer screen. (No one needs to know that your dog isn’t wearing pants.)

Tiger King, the wild Netflix docu-series that took the internet by storm once the pandemic struck, featured the very eccentric Joe Exotic.
