This Brilliant Dog in a Beer Box Costume Could Be the Best We’ve Ever Seen

Why bother dressing up yourself for Halloween when dogs’ costumes are becoming so impressive? They tend to steal the show anyway, leaving your funny costume in the dust with only amused pity laughs. One popular example is a clever dog costume that makes it appear as if your pup and a buddy are hauling around a case of beer.

This particular dog costume, featuring a dog carrying a beer case, was a homemade creation submitted to the costume website Costume-Works. However, similar costumes can be found on Amazon, including ones where dogs appear to be transporting a beer keg, a Christmas gift, a pumpkin, a piano, and more. There’s even a costume that transforms your dog into a UPS delivery person.

How to Make the Two Dogs Carrying a Beer Case Costume?
While there are no official instructions, here’s a general guide to help you create this fun look:

  1. Gather Materials:
    • Two pairs of toddler pants, sized appropriately for your dogs’ legs 
    • Two toddler shirts, fitted for your dogs’ chests and rear areas 
    • A 12-pack of beer (or a pretend case), which can be made from cardboard or plastic 
    • A stuffed animal representing the back of the dog (or a similar prop)
  2. Assemble the Case:
    • Cut the bottom of the cardboard or plastic case to fit over your dog’s back. It should slide comfortably onto their body.
  3. Prepare the Back of the Dog:
    • Place the stuffed animal inside the rear shirt, cutting a hole in the front of the shirt so your dog’s legs can pass through. 
    • Attach the stuffed animal’s arms to the back of the beer case.
  4. Attach Clothing and Props:
    • Secure the rear pants onto your dog’s legs. 
    • Stuff the front shirt’s arms to make it look like your dog’s arms are sticking out, and connect these to the beer case. 
    • Cut a hole in the back of the front shirt or let it hang loosely to allow your dog’s body to pass through. 
    • Attach the front shirt to the beer case so it looks like your pup is carrying it.
  5. Finishing Touches:
    • Put your dog’s front legs through the second pair of pants and secure everything so the costume stays put. 
    • For extra realism, secure the shirts to the dog’s body to keep them in place.
