subject: Choosing The Right Halloween Costume For Your Dog [print this page] Taking your own efforts into consideration, you will want one that is easy to put on your dog. Simple hook and loop fasteners do simplify the process, but some are too long in the belly for male dogs. Considering this, tabs may be a better choice for your male dog.
It makes no difference whether your dog weighs two pounds or two hundred, the only thing that matters is whether your dog likes to get dressed up. There are some dogs that you cannot persuade to dress and be cute. Others think it is just the thing to play dress up for the holiday.
If you have ever been to a Halloween costume party for dogs you have probably seen costumes of many varieties. The traditional to the most unlikely, you will see them all at these events. Every dachshund owner has thought of dressing their pooch as a hot dog. It is adorable, but predictible. Perhaps for a change you may decide to dress them up as hamburgers. Hamburger costumes are available and it will show how creative you are.
Perhaps that 160 pound doberman can go as a ballerina. Now that would be a show stopper for sure. It all depends on the demeanor of your dog. If your dog is one that objects to having a collar placed around the neck, it probably won't want to wear anything other than the collar when you take him out for a party.
Dogs do have feelings. Some like the revelry associated with dress-up parties and some do not. It depends on their tolerance. If they allow you to put a hat or a pair of sunglasses on them, this may be as far as they let you go. Others will allow the dress, but will not let you touch the head. You know your dog best and should judge your outfit on what is going to be most comfortable for your dog.
Small dogs are cute no matter what they are dressed as. A dog that is easy to dress will probably strut their stuff when they arrive at the party. Boots and shoes may not go well on your dog. If you have ever seen the awkward gait that a dog with boots has, you will understand. It appears they are attempting to step out of a mud puddle with every step. Perhaps you need to stop at the costume level.
If you plan on hosting a Halloween party for your dogs friends, you may decide to put a theme to it. Selecting fairy tales is always popular. The female dogs can come as Cinderella or Alice in Wonderland. The boys can come as Prince Charming or the mad hatter. Most of the other fairy tales have costumes available as well. From Little Red Riding Hood to Batman, someone has thought of it before you did.
A quick search on the internet will show all of the fairy tale or other costumes that are available today. Pay attention to your prices and your shipping costs. There are times when you can buy the costume at a local pet store and possibly pay a little more, but come out ahead, due to the shipping. If you have a particular costume that you must have though, it may not be available at the local pet store.
