How to choose the right dog Christmas costume

Warmth: For outdoor walks, pick a knit sweater with a turtleneck or a costume made of polyester and fleece. Light cotton costumes suit indoor parties.
Ease of dressing: Pull-on sweaters and simple costumes are quicker to put on for a photo session, which helps with dogs that do not like standing still.
Theme: Choose between Santa, elf, reindeer patterns or a Christmas tree, or opt for a costume with lights for evening parties.
Matching the family: The fair isle pajamas come in the same print for your dog and for people, ordered separately to build your own family set.
Dog size: The ugly sweater suits dogs up to about 10 kg, and the Christmas tree costume fits small to medium dogs in S to L.

Sizing and fit

Measure the neck, the chest girth at the widest point behind the front legs, and the back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Compare them with the size chart on each product page. If your dog falls between two sizes, pick the larger one, since a slightly loose costume is more comfortable.

Dog Christmas costume FAQ

Do dogs like wearing Christmas costumes?

Many dogs accept a Christmas costume when it fits well and is introduced gently. Let your dog wear the costume for a few minutes at a time with treats and praise. If your dog tries to remove the costume or seems stressed, take it off.

Can my dog wear a costume all day?

A dog costume is ideally kept for photos, parties and short outings. Remove it for naps, meals and unsupervised time, and never leave a dog alone while dressed.
