How do you SAFELY and comfortably dress a pet in a costume?
Quick tips about having your pet wear a costume
- Some dogs love being dressed up and others hate it –Being forced to wear unwanted clothing will only cause them stress and anxiety.
- Make sure your pet can see and hear
- Costumes can be uncomfortable for senior pets with arthritis
- Watch for signs of stress- lick lipping, yawning, whites of the eyes showing. Your pet could be giving you signs they don’t like dressing up!
Just like training your dog to do a trick you can work on desensitizing your dog to wearing a costume.
You can reward them for
- -sniffing the outfit
- -if they stand in place and let you drape the clothing on them
- -letting you fasten the buttons/buckles
- -staying calm
Start slowly and work your way up, your pet may only be ok to wear a costume for a few seconds at first- reward them so they build a positive association with the costume!
