Getting into the spirit of the season sometimes requires more effort than just eating tree-shaped cookies or listening to some carols. Sometimes, we need to dress our pets in embarrassing, holiday-themed clothing and take their photos, perhaps even sharing those pics online with the world.
Whether your pet is ready for a complete outfit or just a festive collar, the right apparel can make the season that much brighter. Our friends at Zootoo rounded up some of their favorite holiday costumes for pets to help both you and your four-legged friends celebrate the season.
Top Paw
A cute costume that also acts as a cozy hoodie, the
Reindeer Coat from Top Paw lets your unsuspecting pet think that he's wearing a comfy, warm winter jacket when he's really being transformed into an adorable reindeer. And the coat is available in an impressive range of sizes to help ensure an appropriate fit for your reindeer-to-be.
Kyjen
For an easy, comfortable holiday accessory, try the
Red & White Santa Bandanna from Kyjen. This canine classic combines soft velvety material with a jolly jingle bell to help keep both you and your pooch in the holiday spirit. And the adjustable Velcro strap helps you achieve a comfortable fit while keeping the bandanna in place through lots of seasonal festivities.
Petco
Featuring a comfortable fit and an appealing design, the
Holiday Star Cat Collar from Petco allows your cat to get in on the holiday fun without a lot of discomfort. The collar uses an elastic opening to prevent you from struggling to get your cat into costume, and each of the star's five points has a small jingle bell to add to the seasonal feeling.
Chilly Dog
Made from 100% wool and free of chemicals, each
Rustic Snowflake Sweater from Chilly Dog is handmade, featuring an attractive, classic winter pattern with cheerful details. Available in a range of sizes from XX-Small to XXX-Large, the eco-friendly sweater also uses only natural dyes derived from plants for the high-quality wool.
Martha Stewart
If your pet prefers a simpler way to celebrate the season, try the
Holiday Houndstooth Collars from Martha Stewart Pets. These accessories feature a stylish red and white print, with an optional flower detail, and can help your four-legged friend make a festive statement without causing him too much embarrassment at the dog park.
