Highlighted Reviews
"While yes, we purchased the XL for our stocky and short corgi/chihuahua mix, the costume itself probably could have fit a beagle puppy. However, this size fit perfectly for our dog and I think he looks terrifyingly cute."
"The package came in 3 days, which was pretty nice, but when it arrived the wig was not really close to the wig shown in the picture. The costume also ran pretty small, so maybe size up. Your cat might not like it, but my dog liked it!"
Bottom Line
If you're considering this costume, be prepared to size up and possibly deal with a wig that doesn't match the product photos. It's a fun costume but comes with sizing caveats.
