How to pick a costume for your dog or cat
Pick for the pet, not the photo. A dog with a thick neck carries a mane or a hot dog bun. A small cat does better in a light hat or a pair of wings. Skip anything with a tight collar, a long cape or a mask over the eyes.
Try before you buy
Every idea above opens a free tool that puts your pet in the costume from one photo, so you see it before you spend on fabric. Want your pet and a costume with their name on it? See custom Halloween pet portraits, or enter the costume contest.
