Highlighted Reviews

β€” Rita

"It’s a light weight costume and it’s very easy to put on and it stays on. Size medium was a perfect size for my Bella because she’s a small dog. She didn’t try to shake off the cup on her head. Simply cute!!"

β€” Erin

"super cute, but 28 bucks is a lot of money to spend on a donut that's going to lose 4 sprinkles 5 minutes after taking it out of the package. They're just loosely glued on"

Bottom Line

While the costume is cute and easy to use, the inconsistent sizing and poor durability may be deal-breakers for some pet owners. Consider this if you are looking for a novelty costume and are okay with potential fit issues. Better ergonomics and more robust materials would be very helpful.
