We’ve rounded up eight of the best costumes for both cats and dogs - including dinosaur, unicorn, rabbit and peacock.

Not only is your pet your best buddy, but when you dress them up in this teddy bear costume, they’ll become your number one cuddly protector too.

We didn’t think it was possible for pets to get even cuter than they already are, but apparently once you put them in this super sweet teddy bear costume it is.

Available in sizes XS, S, M and L.

Dress your pup up like a dinosaur in this fun fancy dress costume because, well, why not.

Made from fluffy green fabric, it comes complete with 3D spikes, a hood and a tail for an extra-cute finish.

This costume features adjustable riptape fastenings and is sized to fit large breeds, such as beagle and cocker spaniel.

Different sizes are available so there’s a size for smaller dog breeds too. Priced between £8 or £10 depending on the size.

Inspired by the lovable fish from The Little Mermaid, this vibrant costume features an embroidered character face and even 3D fins.

Flounder is Ariel’s best friend and never leaves her side, so this is a brilliant costume for your four-legged best friend.

It fastens with a self-adhesive tab under belly and neck and is made of super soft fabric, so you can be sure your dog will be comfortable while he or she is wearing this.

Available in sizes XS, S, M and L.

Just when we thought unicorns couldn’t get any more magical, someone made a costume to turn our beloved cats and dogs in to them.

This super sweet costume is made of sofa polar fleece and has adjustable velcro round the neck, so you can be sure of a secure fit no matter how much your beloved kitty or pooch runs around.

The shock of mult-coloured hair, gold ears and gold horn will certainly catch people’s eyes if your pet wears this out and about.

This lovely costume is of course based on the classic Where’s Wally puzzle books we have all grown up loving where you have to look at pictures full of people dressed in the same red and white strippy costume and pick out Wally’s face.

With this outfit your pet will always stand out from the crowd when they are wearing this though, they won’t be hard to spot at all!

It includes a shirt, glasses and hat. The glasses and hat each have an elastic band to secure around the head so you can be sure they will stay in place.

Available in sizes XS, S, M and L.

Let’s be honest, who hasn’t lifted their pet up and pretended they are Simba from the Lion King at the moment when Rafiki presents him to all of the pride lands.

With this furry, handmade pet hat your cat or small dog actually can look like Simba.

It fits most average size cats and small dogs, and we can promise you will never get bored of re-creating that famous scene again and again.

Your pooch or cat deserves all eyes on them, so why not dress them for attention.

They’ll be able to fan their feathers in this pretty as a peacock dog costume which features an eye-catching blue, soft bodysuit with feather print, an upright fanned feather train, and a headpiece with a beak, soft plumage, antennae, and eyes.

It’s suitable for cats and small dogs.

These rabbit ears are adjustable, lightweight, and easy to take on and take off. Your pet will feel comfortable wearing them though thanks to the soft cotton material.

The colourful purple ears are a fun element which makes the costume stand out even more. Though, who wouldn’t notice a at or a dog dressed as a rabbit anyway?

A playful choice if you enjoy dressing your pets up for all the occasions; this one would be perfect for Easter.

Suitable for cats and small dogs.
