Doin' it for the gram: All the inspo you need for #NationalDressUpYourPetDay
Inspired by the movie that has broken records, the internet brings you Dogbox
It's that time of the year again, when the bowties, hats and fake mustaches are once again donned... by our beloved pets! Yes, it's National Dress Up Your Pet Day! On January 14th, animal lovers everywhere will take to social media to share delightful photos of their furry friends dressed as different animals, superheroes, superhumans, and everything in between.
While we admit that we love seeing a cat moonlighting as a bat, do they actually like being costumed and (gently!) forced into wearing a wig and giant sunglasses?
According to the Animal Humane Society: "only dress up your pet if you're sure they're comfortable and not stressed while wearing their outfit. Stay away from toxic materials, masks, and always make sure they can see and hear clearly. If your pet's not having fun, you won't either."
With that in mind, do you dare to participate in #NationalDressUpYourPetDay? Below are a few of our favourite — and most Insta-worthy — pet costume ideas that might help inspire you.
