Tips for Dogs Wearing Costumes

by admin on March 24, 2009

Here are a few helpful tips to keep your dog safe and reduce his stress, fear and anxiety if you are taking him out and about on Halloween. With all the commotion of excited little ones and extra noise and activity around your dog, he may not be able to cope. These tips might make it a little easier, but don’t forget if he is so overwhelmed and scared, why bother? We all know dogs in costumes are funny, but you are not doing this for his entertainment, but yours.

PRACTICE:

Dress your dog up in the costume your have selected a couple of times before the big day and walk him around in it as you are going to do on Halloween. This way at least he won’t be intimidated by this unusual apparel. If he is used to it he may relax and enjoy the walk about with all the extra activity being interesting, rather than distressing.

BE AWARE OF YOUR PETS ANXIETY:

Dogs in costumes will let you know by their actions if they are not going to tolerate being dressed up. I know it seems funny to watch a dog struggle when we try a hat or sunglaases on them, just for the entertainment value. But this is distressing and putting a dog in a full costume may be something they just won’t tolerate. Once again if your pet can’t get used to the costume, don’t bother.

BE VISIBLE:

Some dog costumes come with a reflective coating on them, but if you have one that does not, simply add some reflective tape which you can buy at the hardware store.

MAKE SURE THE COSTUME IS SAFE:

There should be no loose pieces or decorations on the costume that your pet can ingest. Your dog may find it way to appealing to chew off dangling buttons or material, which could cause choking or worse, a bowel obstruction. Also make sure nothing is hanging around his feet where he could get tangled or trip.

MAKE SURE THE COSTUME FITS PROPERLY

Just as you do with his collar, check and make sure you can get two or three fingers between your dog and the fabric or tie-on that goes around your pet to hold the costume in place. Any ties or wraps around the neck should have extra care and attention, making sure they are comfortable.

MAKE SURE THE COSTUME IS LIGHTWEIGHT:

Don’t forget you are putting clothes over your pet’s fur coat. If the costume is too heavy he may overheat and become exhausted. Carry a pet water bottle and offer it often. Watch for excessive panting or lagging behind. If this happens remove the costume.

USE A LEASH AND MAKE SURE ID TAGS ARE ON YOU PET:

This is something all responsible dog owners know, and needs no extra explanation.

Finding the Perfect Dog Costume

by admin on March 23, 2009

If you’re thinking about buying a dog costume for Halloween, Christmas or another holiday, there are some important things to consider.  First of all, you must determine if the costume will even be comfortable.  There’s no point in torturing your dog so everyone can have a good laugh.  Fortunately, most pet costumes are designed for comfort and ease.  However, many have head pieces that only some dogs will like wearing.  Unless you’re okay with putting back on those devil horns every time he shakes them off all night, don’t bother getting them.

Secondly, you must consider safety.  For example, if your dog is going to be out trick-or-treating then the costume must be visible to cars.  Also, make sure that it’s not too difficult for him to walk while dressed.  You don’t want him tripping and hurting himself because of a Halloween costume.

Finally, you must consider style.  If you’re shopping for Halloween costumes, then pretty much anything goes.  However, you don’t want your friend dressing as Dracula for Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter…..obviously.  Aside from the season, think about what type of costume you want.  Should it match yours?  Do you want it to be scary, fanciful or funny?  If you take time to think it through, then you’re sure to get the exact dog costume you need.

My daughter Angelina just loves her lovely puppy Zippos very much. All the time she wants to have fun with Zippos and she doesn’t have many friends with whom she spends her time. Even when she goes to the park to play, she takes Zippos along with her. Now, as she is so fond of her puppy, then she wanted some new Small Dog Costumes, toys, dishes and some accessories for him. She was insisting me that this birthday she wanted to give a dashing party to some of her friends. She was planning to celebrate Zippos birthday in a different mood this time.

When we had planned that we will throw a good party for Zippos birthday, then we wanted to purchase many new things for him. So we planned that we will shop online rather to visit several malls for shopping. When we logged on to the website of the dog accessories, we found that there are varieties of gift articles, dog costumes, toys, and many other things which we could buy for Zippo. Ultimately we made a decision that we will place an order for the Poodle Skirt Costume. Where the 1950’s Skirt Costume is gorgeous , then this is also true that it is designed with finer quality of material and production. Whoever will see this dress will automatically get fascinated towards it. A black colored sequin on the skirt, with red bow and silver sequin gives an extra lure to the dress. This designer dog clothing also comes included with a matching pink color scarf which is made of chiffon material . This dress is certainly very charming and stylishly stitched giving it an extra magnificent look. Zippos was looking so pretty in this costume that many of our guests wanted to know exactly from where we had got this Designer Dog Clothing. There were clicking many photographs also and all were enjoying the party very much.

We were making out that not only our guests, but also Zippos and his friends were taking pleasure in the party because we had arranged for some delicacies’ for them also. Special cookies were ordered for them and a separate table was also set for them. Angelina also wanted to give some birthday return gifts to all the other dogs that were present in the party, so we decided that we will present them some attractive caps .

What I individually feel is that whenever we get a option or we get to know that there is a final clearance sale about particular products, and then we should never miss a chance to visit it at least once because we actually do get attractive things there as well . Many people think that the accessories which have being kept for sale may or may not be very good, but there is no harm to at least visit once and have a look at them. Might be we will like them and purchase them where we can save good money in return. When I was going through the website when I wanted some designer clothes for my darling cute little puppy, then I came to know that there is a final clearance sale from their side and several products were displayed by them which were not only lovely but also reasonably priced . I never miss an opportunity to have a look at all the products because earlier also I had bought several good stuff from such types of final clearance sales.

I am very passionate about my puppy and never ignore to get something gorgeous for her. When I went through all the products I just loved the Cherry Dress & Matching Hat which was very magnificently designed. A lovely matching hat which is handcrafted with rosette and pretty satin ties is adding an extra lure to the Designer Dog Clothes. The Dress & Matching Hat is priced for $ 12.99 and the item code no. for this designer dog clothes is SKU 166131. The cost is so less that I suggested my friend also to buy this lovely dog apparel for her puppy also. Although there was many more Dog Apparel but above all I liked this costume a lot. What made this dress look prettier was the design which was perfectly and comfortably hand-crafted. The attractive and soft pastel pink checked textile which was also stitched along with a white lace on the skirt was adding attraction to the gorgeous attire . The skirt is hemmed and an adjustable Velcro finishing is given for the comfort of the puppy around the neck and the tummy part of the costume . This costume is available with the size of 7” which means it would exactly fit my cute little puppy. It is very important to measure the puppy before buying any of the costume for him/her so that there are no regrets afterwards because there are no exchange offers in many of the final clearance sales.

The demand for Dog Halloween costumes has grown the last few years. You may like to have your dog with you while trick-or-treating for security purposes, but why not dress your buddy up for Halloween and allow him to have fun too keeping dog Halloween safety in mind. If your neighbors like dogs and your canine friend is well trained, it can be a family event.

Some dogs, particularly those that are accustom to wearing doggy apparel, really like getting dressed up and the attention they receive. It maybe a bit stressful for those that are not party animals.

Wearing the Costume - Here are Some Tips for Persuasion

1. Do not wait until Halloween evening to put your dog’s Halloween costume on. Start a couple of weeks before. Use treats to motivate him.

2. Let your best friend sniff around the costume, drape it over him for a minute; give him a treat and praise. Do this several times, on a daily basis, leaving the costume on longer each time.

3. Loosely put the costume on your doggy and repeat what you have done in the instructions above. A minute at first and then take steps to increase the time. Accompany this with plenty of treats and praise.

4. If your dog becomes nervous and worried, and just doesn’t like the idea of being dressed, forget the costume idea.

A simple doggy t-shirt, Halloween collar or bandana may be a better alternative

Dog Halloween Costumes - Safety Tips

1. The fit should be right - not too tight or constricting.

2. Avoid impeding the breathing, hearing, sight, movement or barking.

3. The costume should not result in overheating.

4. Check for items that may choke or poison your dog if he swallowed them.

5. A dog should not at any time be left unattended when wearing a costume.

6. Remove rubber bands.

Halloween Safety - Inside

1. Be careful that your pet does not sneak out the door while you are attending to trick or treaters.

2. If your dog accidentally gets out, wearing a reflector could prevent injury from a car.

3. Have ID on your dog just in case he does get loose.

4. Consider putting your friend in his bed in another room, crated, or on a leash while the activities are going on.

5. Candy and wrappers will be everywhere on Halloween but they must be kept away from pets. A chew toy or a canine treat should keep him satisfied so that he does not feel left out.

Outside Safety on Halloween

1. Do not leave your dog outside on Halloween. Every Halloween pets are stolen, tormented, tortured and injured.

2. If you walk your dog Halloween evening, be vigilant of what he may pick up along the path.

3. Do have your buddy on a lead and make sure he is wearing a collar and ID.

4. Keep your dog away from jack-o-lanterns. Place lighted candles and Jack O’Lanterns where they can’t be knocked over
by pets.
