"Absolutely obsessed with this costume. Our German Shepherd was such a trooper!"

— MurMur

"I had my dog wear this 2-3 times prior to Halloween to get him accustomed to the costume. Unfortunately, there are small squares of velcro that hold the main shirt on, and the velcro seems to be very cheap. After only 3 times of gentle wear, the velcro on the top two pieces has basically peeled off...."

If your main concern is aesthetics and you don't mind frequent replacements, this costume is a fun choice. However, for durability and fit, consider other options.
