"I wasn't sure how this would fit my dog since he's long with short legs, but it fit him well! I'm obsessed with the braid/bow situation on the back of the headpiece haha. I'm glad this one worked out."

β€” Jennifer

"I purchased this for my 6 lb dog in a size small. All of the threads are loose and it looks like it is falling apart. It is also way too small. lt won’t even close on him, yet the headpiece is so large that it covers his eyes. All around, it’s a big fail which is a shame because it looked so cut..."

Bottom Line

It's a cute costume with design flaws. Admiring the charm, possessing frolics with great concepts but fails in making your pet feel charming. Think in more practical terms before making a purchase decision.
