Here are some tips for dressing up your pet:

1. If your pet doesn't like dressing up, let them sit this one out.
2. Make sure it fits. Clothes and accessories shouldn't restrict movement or impact their ability to breathe.
3. Avoid loose or dangling pieces that can be chewed on or considered a choking hazard.
