Dog owners warned not to dress up pets in costume for Halloween | Wales Online
Halloween is just around the corner and while many of us are getting our costumes ready for a themed party, others are buying a costume for their pet. But you may want to undo that order, according to specialists.
Urging people "do not dress up" your pet, experts from Bella + Duke say you may not know it, but it could cause lots of issues for your dog. It explains: "It is not advised to dress up dogs.
"Costumes often restrict movement and can stress out your furry friend. They could overheat and then struggle to regulate themselves with the extra layers of the costume. Additionally, there is a risk of them getting tangled in furniture and ornaments, resulting in an injury or breakage."
It does add that "each dog is different" and "some may be comfortable in a jumper or costume for a shorter period of time with supervision." But in all cases, you should not dress them up if they are distressed and you should not have them in it for long.
As well as this, the experts note that you should aim to walk your dog before it gets too dark. This way, you are more likely to avoid trick-or-treaters, costumes and loud noises that could be dangerous or scary for your dog.
