dog customs

Fastening varies by style: many use hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures, some have buckle closures, and several are pullover designs for quick on/off. Product pages list the specific closure type for each costume.

Care instructions differ by item: some list spot cleaning or wiping, others are machine washable or recommend hand wash, and at least one accessory does not provide care instructions. Always follow the care guidance shown on the specific product page to avoid damage.

Measure your dog’s chest girth (widest part of the ribcage), back length (base of neck to base of tail), and neck size. Product details typically provide minimum and maximum chest and neck measurements and sometimes back length — use those values to choose the correct size.

Head accessories often include adjustable chin straps and ear loops to keep pieces snug. Look for adjustable straps or chin-strap details in the product description and test the fit gently to ensure comfort and stability.

Holiday costume listings include size charts and instruct shoppers to measure chest girth and back length carefully. Several listings advise allowing about a 2 cm margin for comfort — consult the product’s size chart before ordering.
