Highlighted Reviews

— Chrystal

"The costume looked good on my Boston Terrier. The straps of the pack went around the midsection not the over the shoulders which reduced the stability. I took the straps and crossed over his chest and that did the trick."

— Jonathan

"We bought 2 of these costumes for our dogs, one L and one XL. The material is paper thin, the XL barely fit around our dog that wears a M harness, and neither costume fit our German Shepherd who normally wears a L harness. I will not be buying costumes from this manufacturer again."

Bottom Line

If you're okay with adjusting the fit and don't mind mediocre material, this costume can be a fun addition. Otherwise, consider alternatives with better sizing and durability.
