Who a pet Christmas costume suits

A pet Christmas costume suits the owner who treats their pet as part of the family, and wants them in the photo. It is a small, silly gift for a dog or pet lover, and a good one for a work Secret Santa or a stocking.

It is for fun, and it is over in a few minutes. The outfits here include T-shirts, hoodies, pyjamas, tutu dresses and costume sets such as Santa and elf, in sizes from extra small to extra large.

What to look for in a pet Christmas costume

  • Size. Check the size chart on the listing. Measure the pet's neck, chest and the length of their back before you choose.
  • Style. A T-shirt is simple and light. A hoodie or pyjamas are warmer, and a costume set is the most dressed up.
  • Warmth. December is summer in Australia, so a light T-shirt is kinder to a pet than a hoodie on a warm day. Choose by the weather where they live.
  • Comfort. Choose something with room for the legs to move, and no loose parts a pet could chew.
  • Fastening. Simple fastenings are quicker to put on a pet who will not stand still.

When a pet Christmas costume is the wrong gift

Some pets dislike wearing clothes, so ask the owner if you can. An outfit is only for a short time and should come off if the pet seems upset. And a very hot day is not the time to put a pet in a hoodie.

Frequently asked questions

What size pet Christmas costume should I buy?

Use the size chart on the listing, and measure the pet's neck, chest and back length. If the pet is between sizes, choose the larger one, because a tight outfit is uncomfortable and hard to put on.

Is a pet Christmas costume safe for a dog?

Most are fine for a short time while the owner watches. Avoid anything with loose parts a dog could chew, take it off if the dog seems upset, and keep it light on hot days.

What do you give a dog lover for Christmas?

A small, fun gift for their pet is always welcome, and a Christmas outfit makes the family photo. For something longer lasting, a toy or a bed from the same pet range works well.
