Highlighted Reviews

โ€” Taylor

"Super cute but was too big for my lab pit mix. Need more to keep this type of costume in place."

โ€” MVin

"This costume is a joke. One of the feet is sewn on backwards, and the arms look like shoulder pads. The head piece is a flat piece of green felt-like material that is supposed to sit on top of the dog's head with a thin drawstring. "

Bottom Line

This is a very poor quality costume. Buyers should look for alternatives.
