Dressing up should be enjoyable
Fancy dress is a fun way to mark a birthday, Halloween or a special dog-friendly event. From novelty food costumes to festive collars, there are plenty of ways to give a dog a look with personality.
Comfort comes first. Avoid costumes that block vision, restrict breathing, interfere with walking or contain parts a dog could swallow. Use dress-up only when your dog is relaxed and accepting of clothing.
Some dogs love a soft jumper or costume; others prefer to keep things simple. A patterned bandana can be every bit as photogenic as a more elaborate outfit.
