A little guidance

Help choosing dog holiday outfits

Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.

From our guides

This page picks the holiday pieces from our dog clothing range: double-sided St Patrick's Day bandanas, a crochet lion dance collar for the lunar new year, a Christmas knitted scarf and hat set, a Christmas plaid cape with a fur collar and a knitted heart sweater for Valentine's Day. It is for owners who like their dog to join in the celebrations, family photos and holiday parties through the year.

Outfits through the year

Holidays come round fast, and a small outfit is the easiest way to include your dog. The range covers the lunar new year with a crochet lion dance collar, Valentine's Day with a knitted heart sweater, St Patrick's Day with reversible green bandanas, and Christmas with a knit scarf and hat set and a plaid cape with a faux fur collar.

For Easter, a bandana or a light sweater in spring colors works well; our dog bandanas page has Easter designs with bunnies and eggs. Order a couple of weeks ahead so you have time to check the fit before the day.

Start simple

The ASPCA recommends not dressing a pet unless you know they enjoy it, and suggests a festive bandana as an easy alternative when a full costume is too much. Bandanas and collars are barely noticed by most dogs, which makes them the best choice for nervous dogs and first-timers.

Sweaters, capes and hat sets suit dogs already used to wearing a coat. Introduce them at home with treats a few days before a party.

Fit and comfort

Measure your dog's neck, chest girth behind the front legs and back length, and compare with the size chart. Your dog should be able to move, sit and squat freely, see clearly and breathe without restriction; the ASPCA advises against anything that restricts movement, vision or breathing.

Hats should sit loosely with an elastic that does not press under the chin, and should come off if your dog paws at them.

Safety around the holidays

The ASPCA advises removing small, dangling or easily chewed pieces from outfits, and trying them on before the day to catch anything loose. Pompoms, bells and fringes should be firmly attached. Never leave a dog alone in a costume or outfit.

Holiday food is the bigger hazard. Chocolate, raisins, xylitol in candy and baked goods, and fatty leftovers are all risky for dogs. If your dog eats something it should not, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435; a consultation fee may apply.

Parties and photos

Holiday gatherings are loud, busy and full of strangers, which some dogs love and others find stressful. Give your dog a quiet room with water and a chew to retreat to, and let guests know not to feed them scraps.

For photos, keep the outfit on for just a few minutes, use treats to hold attention, and take it off once the pictures are done. A relaxed dog in a simple bandana makes a better photo than an unhappy dog in a full costume.

Washing and storing

Hand wash knits and capes in cool water with mild detergent and dry flat; cotton bandanas can go in the machine. Check trims after washing.

Store holiday outfits clean and dry, with the season's other decorations, and check the fit again next year, since puppies grow and adult dogs change shape.

What should my dog wear for Easter?

A spring bandana or a light sweater is easy and comfortable. Choose something your dog already tolerates.

Are holiday dog outfits safe?

Yes, if they fit well, have no chewable small parts, do not restrict movement or sight, and your dog is supervised.

What if my dog does not like wearing clothes?

Try a bandana or collar accessory instead. The ASPCA suggests a festive bandana as a simple alternative.

How do I measure my dog for a holiday outfit?

Measure neck, chest girth behind the front legs and back length, then follow the size chart.

What holiday foods are dangerous for dogs?

Chocolate, raisins and grapes, xylitol in candy and baked goods, and fatty leftovers. Call your vet if your dog eats any.
