14 January is National Dress Up Your Pet Day and is observed annually.
Pets often become part of your family and this day was created to make it a special day for them, to celebrate them and also support the pet fashion community.
National Dress Up Your Pet Day was founded by celebrity pet lifestyle expert and animal behaviourist, Colleen Paige in 2009.
It is important to remember that your pets should be comfortable and safe in the clothing and costumes you pick for them. Here are some tips to keep in mind when dressing up your pet:
• Sit this holiday out if your pet does not like being dressed up.
• Ensure the clothing or costume fits and does not restrict movement or ability to breathe.
• Avoid loose or dangling pieces which can cause choking, as some pets like to chew.
To celebrate National Dress Up Your Pet Day is simple – dress your pet up!
