Costume IdeaSafety Tip
1. Stranger Things Demogorgon DogEnsure your pet’s eyes, ears, and mouth remain uncovered to avoid anxiety and ensure they can see and breathe comfortably.
2. Barbiecore PupEnsure there are no small, chewable accessories like buttons or rhinestones that could pose a choking hazard. Opt for velcro fastenings over elastic.
3. Spider-CatMake sure the costume doesn’t have tight leg holes that could restrict your pet’s movement. They should still be able to jump, run, and pounce comfortably.
4. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Pet EditionAvoid materials like sequins or glitter that can easily fall off or be chewed. Opt for fabric-based embellishments.
5. The Mandalorian’s Grogu (Baby Yoda)Make sure the headpiece isn’t too tight around their head and neck, and check that the fabric is soft and breathable.
6. Wednesday AddamsCheck that any costume pieces around the neck, like collars or bows, aren’t too tight; you should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your pet’s neck.
7. Cowboy KittyMake sure the saddle and hat don’t interfere with their mobility. Avoid heavy costumes that may weigh your pet down.
8. 90s Nostalgia DogBe mindful of loose fabrics that could get caught on furniture or snag during playtime. Scrunchies and accessories should be worn under supervision only.
9. Minions MadnessIf your pet’s costume includes goggles or glasses, ensure they don’t obstruct their vision. Opt for a comfortable fit or ditch the eyewear altogether for safety.
10. Sushi Roll PetMake sure the sushi costume is lightweight and doesn’t restrict their movement. Ensure it’s easy to remove in case your pet gets restless or wants a break.
