Doggie Costumes

On the news this morning there was a horse in a costume to look like a french poodle. I thought it was a moose, and that is also what the early morning commentators thought. The horse looked very uncomfortable. Generally speaking, I am against dressing animals in human clothes and costumes.

I dress up my gogs for holloween everyyear we have a contest around here and they can win free food for the best dressed most comfortable and fitting costumes last year I won over 150 dollors worth of food and treats for them

I don't dress my dogs..but have thought about it. I think if you want to do it, you should start and do it regularly from the time when the dogs are pups. And I really don't care what Jay Leno says about it, when the temp is below 0, I wish I had trained my guys to wear boots and a jacket. THough we don't want to believe it, our dogs are affected by the cold...no matter how heavy their coat.

Well I am with jay Leno on this one,I don't like it and won't do it. But that's because I just don't see how it could be comfortable for the dog and if they could talk,what would they say to you?

i never dress the shih tzu..but my wife does..and i have to when she insists..lol but now its winter and his hair is grown out he don't need a jacket...but sometimes when his hair is cut short he has a tee shirt..but never a hat..like this little guy..but our shih tzu don't go out much as he is a house dog...he don't like the extreme hot or cold weather

we did once put our dog in an eagles football jersey, it lasted about 2 minutes and thats the extent that went too. I grew up with a girl who use to dress her toy poodle up everyday and use to push him around in a baby coach and this was when she was 16. I think the whole dressing up your pet is a little much

My little dog refuses to go outside during the winter unless she is wearing clothes. She brings them to us and waits patiently for us to put them on her. She has a completely bald belly, and her chest hair is really thin, too. Plus she's small, so she gets cold easily. We live in North Dakota, where it's not uncommon for our temperature to be several degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), with a wind chill that is even colder. My little dog is dressing up for Halloween, too. She's going to be a Lady Bug. Usually she just wears sweaters, though. :)

lol...such a cute picture! Before I lost my little Buttercup I had bought her a cute withces hat and it came with a large sort of bandana with halloween pictures all over it. I'm so sorry now that I didn't get to take pictures of her with it on. I don't think their uncomfortable if the dog is used to wearing "clothes". Buttercup had two tee shirts that she seemed to love to wear and this outfit just tied under her neck and didn't bother her. THe hat...well once I figured out how to get it on her tiny head she was fine with it and went on her merry way! It seems that doggie costumes has become a very large business. Wish I had thought of it! lol.

I think it really is important to ask the dog how it feels about wearing clothes. If it doesn't bite the snot out of you then you're probably OK. Anyway, I must agree with the practice because I'm a dog and I wear clothes (usually).

i think this is not so good think because they r animal not a human and dress for humans and i guess this is painly for animals :(
