Tips For Dressing Your Dog In Pokemon Style

Look for separates for hard to size dogs

Not all pooches fit into the standard sizes for clothes and costumes. These dogs may be better off wearing separates that you choose rather than costumes that are sewed all into one garment.

Choose themed collars or accessorize collars and harnesses for dogs that don’t like to wear clothes

Some pooches can be very difficult to get to wear even a t-shirt let alone a whole costume. Collars, leashes, harnesses, and charms for collars can all be utilized so these dogs can get in on the fun in the world of Pokemon.

Avoid heavy costumes during warm weather or on long-haired dogs.

A lot of the Pokemon costumes for dogs are sweatshirts and sweaters which is great for some dogs but not so much longer haired or more cold tolerant dogs. Even short-haired breeds may become overheated during the summer wearing costumes.

Designing Your Dog’s Pokemon Costume

As you can see, there are a lot of ways to put a costume together. Like any other costume, you need to make sure your dog is comfortable and not overly restricted in movement. Stretchy fabrics and adjustable straps are helpful for getting a better fit. A lot of costumes are made with some adjustable features but it is important to be sure and not just assume you can adjust a costume a lot. Always get the next size up if your dog is borderline between sizes. A little bit large is better than too tight.

Scout hopes you have found a fun Pokemon costume for your dog or have at least started planning how to make the one that you envision for your dog.
