Celebrate National Dress Up Your Pet Day

By Kathleen Roberts

Do you have the most stylish cat or dog on the block? Well, you’ll have the opportunity to show off your pet’s fashion sense on January 14, otherwise known as National Dress Up Your Pet Day.

With the big day just around the corner, now is the time to coordinate some fabulous outfits so your pet can celebrate in style! This is your chance to make Fido fit for the runway. But remember, there is more involved than just pulling your pet's favorite frock out of her wardrobe. As a pet owner, there are a few things to consider as you prepare for the main event.

Before you pick out your precious pooch (or cat’s) attire, keep the following things in mind.

Personality

Think about your pet's personality. Your regal Doberman will not appreciate being dressed in a pink sweater with maribou trim. He is more likely to appreciate a fashionable camo fleece [1] or a suitable biker hat [2].

Then again, your Bichon Frise might love the pink sweater [3]. Or put some prep in your pet with this yuppie puppy attire [4]. Now if you own a Persian cat, well obviously you'll want to have her pink velveteen jeweled cat collar [5] ready so she can be presented as the princess that she is. So allow your pet's personality to guide your wardrobe choices.

Weather

Most places are cold right now, so a hat and jacket are certainly appropriate. However, in warmer climates your pet might prefer a trendy royalty dog cap [6] and a spectacular pair of shades.
