Buying Guide
Although dog costumes are aesthetically pleasing and humorous, it is important to make the experience enjoyable and positive for all involved. In general, an effective costume should not be too cumbersome, or uncomfortable for the pet. The disposition of the dog is a very important consideration when choosing a costume. Owners should note that a costume may drastically affect a dog's personality. Be sure to monitor a pet closely when in costume. Some dogs are sensitive to human interaction, especially in costume. A outfit on a pet guarantees a certain level of interaction or response from people. One should refrain from making an expensive investment on a costume since some dogs will refuse to wear a costume at all.
