Measure length of pet's back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Match the length to the sizing chart.

If dog has a stout build, a deep chest, or is overweight, we recommend going up a minimum of one size. If dog is long-backed, like a Dachshund, a small size is recommended.

Halloween Costumes and Contests for Dogs

Halloween can be a stressful time for pets. Although Halloween night is a time to keep your dogs at home, safe and sound, that doesn't mean they must be completely left out of Halloween fun.

If you have a friendly, sociable dog who likes children, gets along well with other dogs, and is comfortable wearing a costume, there are many pet parades and costume contests to enjoy this season. Many are part of Octoberfests or community Pumpkin Festivals celebrated annually in towns across America.

Not all dogs will stay cool, calm and collected about being dressed up for Halloween. Many will only cooperate if a costume is not terribly annoying to them. For others, a costume might be fine, but anything that resembles a hat will have to go. There are also dogs who really do enjoy being dressed up. They love the attention that goes along with it and they seem to think it's a perfectly natural thing to do.

Here's a few pet costume tips....
¡@
  • When wearing a costume, can the dog see and breathe easily? A costume should not interfere with the dogs vision, hearing or breathing - NO masks.
    ¡@
  • Check the fit around the costume neckline to make sure it's not too tight.
  • Watch for chewing, pawing, or signs of discomfort while wearing a costume.
    ¡@
  • If you're making a pet costume, use a lightweight fabric that won't cause a dog to become over-heated.
    ¡@
  • Don't put any beads, loose dangling accessories and other small objects on a costume.... nothing that can be chewed and swallowed or be a choking hazard.
    ¡@
  • A costume should not drag on the floor so that your dog can't walk without stepping on it.
  • Never leave a dog wearing any kind of costume alone and unatteneded.
    ¡@
  • If your dog gets nervous and upset, and just doesn't like the idea of being dressed, forget the costume idea. A simple doggy size cotton t-shirt would be more comfortable. Or... just get a colorful Halloween print collar or bandana instead.
