For many pet-lovers, dressing up their pooch is much like dressing up themselves. It's a must! Do you like dressing up your dogs or cats in clever, cute costumes as well? Some might prefer to make their own pet costumes, rather than spend money on a ready to wear piece. However, before attempting to make a DIY costume or clothing for your pet, consider a few things.
Clothing Materials. What kind of materials will you use? Avoid using fabrics that might cause irritation. It is particularly important to be sure that your costume is free from choking hazards such as buttons, trims, or accents.
Comfort. A costume or piece of clothing should not make movement difficult for your pet or make it hard for them to see their way. Your pet should be able to walk and move around without hassle. However, if your pet really dislikes wearing clothes or costumes, and this may include most cats, there are pet collars and accessories that are easy to wear and looks just as fashionable!
To DIY or Buy. With all of these safety issues to consider, sometimes it might be more convenient and practical to purchase a ready made piece. Look for online shops that not only offer a wide selection of pet costumes or pet clothes at reasonable prices, but makers who also love pets and are passionate about creating high quality pieces that are especially designed for specific dog breeds or cats.
