"I'm totally obsessed with this costume purchase. As soon as I saw it on Chewy's website, I knew I had to order it for my yorkie mix. This costume is well made and reasonably priced. When I received the package, I immediately tried it on my sweetie:) and look how adorable."
"I am so disappointed with this cute bear costume. Straight out of the packaging - theres a hole behind the right ear, the arms are falling apart - looks like they were terribly hot glued and the feet are sewn on two different ways. Horrible, horrible!! I wouldn’t take this if someone gave it to me..."
