Costumes For Dogs: Where To Look

Dog clothing is a very hot industry in the pet world right now, and costumes for dogs are right at the top of the most wanted list. If you visit even the mainstream pet stores today, you’ll very likely find an entire section of the store devoted to pet clothes and dog costumes. The variety of what you can find on store shelves today and the level of creativity you’ll see in these costumes for dogs will blow your mind, and if you just do a little surfing around online, you’ll see what I mean!
Dog costumes have become a small cultural phenomenon, and especially so for little dogs. Obviously costumes exist for almost every breed of dog alive today, but a majority of them are made for smaller dogs whose owners seem much more inclined to dress up their pets for some adorable and often hilarious k-9 costume fun. If you care for a chihuahua, as an example, it’s a cakewalk for you to find costumes for dogs for him: you can head to the local pet store or online to the virtual swath of pet clothing stores there and find a lot of cool, stylish little coats and costumes for you doggy with minimal work.
You will probably see a lot less costumes for dogs for bigger dogs at these stores, but with that said, they do exist. Especially when you’re shopping around online, you’ll find a near endless selection of costumes you can dress you bigger pooch in, from the skunk-dog to the bride/groom to the pro football QB: if you can think up some bizarre, funny way your dog could be dressed, the costume for that probably already exists, and you can probably find it at numerous stores online or in the real world!
If you’re in the mood for shopping for some costumes for dogs, some good stores for finding them include Petco and Petland if you live in North America, the local Pet Pavilion if you’re in Europe, and if shopping online, I heartily recommend G.W.Little and UrbanPup from experience if you’re looking around online. There are, of course, a pile of other good places you’ll be able to pick out great dog costumes, but these are some quality places to get you started.
If you know what costume you want for your dog already and you’re just looking for a place to buy it, I would do a Google Image search on it to see if I could locate it on the web, first. From here, you can simply locate the site the image you found is hosted on, and this will often be an online dog costume retailer. This is a quick way to find costumes for dogs you already have in mind, so try it out! Happy shopping!
