 Reasons NOT to Dress up Your Dog for Halloween

IMPORTANT: PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE A COSTUME

1. Dogs aren't humans - they can't tell you how they feel about being dressed up! It may well be terrifying for them!

    2.   It's unnatural.  Dogs aren't toys and they have their own feelings. Photos of dressed up dogs ARE cute ... but only to humans!

    3.   If your adult dog was not dressed up as a puppy it will probably NOT enjoy wearing a costume

    4.    Remember that, even if your dog isn't fighting against the costume it will probabably be a relief once it's off.  Responses can range from standing still and refusing to walk to complete panic

   5.    It can be hazardous. Depending on the type of fur, weight your dog and the weather your dog may overheat

   6.  Their motion and/or vision may be restricted by the costume (you should ensure it doesn't slip over the eyes!) ... and they may chew bits off!

   7.  Your dog wants to make you happy and if they don't seem to mind the costume it's probably because it pleases you!

   8. Even if your pet doesn't mind dressing up and is not upset while wearing the outfit, take your photos, do the walk then take the costume off!

   9. While it's on, you should monitor your pet's body temperature and ensure the costume is not constricting or rubbing the skin

  10. IT  IS  ALL  ABOUT  YOUR  DOG ... YOU LOVE THEM, SO THINK OF THEM FIRST - YOU CAN'T GO WRONG THAT WAY!
