Who wouldn’t smile when they see a tiny dachshund as a bee or a spaniel in a little fire extinguisher? Dogs in costumes are both fun, touching and incredibly photographic. But like everything that affects the comfort of animals, it’s only really nice when our puppy’s having fun.<\/span><\/h5>\n

Why do we like our dog wearing a costume?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The answer is simple: because we love them, and we want every moment to be special to them. At a birthday party, Halloween, Christmas or a joint photo shoot, the dog costume can be cute, community-forming and even useful (for example, a warm coat in cold).<\/span><\/p>\n

But For Brizlo<\/b> We’re not just looking at the cute factor. We believe that all dog clothes – practical or fun – the dog’s comfort must be served<\/b>Not the master’s entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nHow<\/span> You know, <\/span>Is your dog wearing the costume?<\/span>
\n<\/h3>\n

If a dress or costume is really comfortable, the dog’s behavior will tell you. Listen to these:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \nIt moves loosely:<\/span> He doesn’t try to get out, he doesn’t move, he doesn’t push.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  • \nHe doesn’t chew, he doesn’t lick the dress.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  • \nHis ears, tail and posture are calm.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  • \nYou’re welcome to walk in it<\/span>And he won’t hide from you if he sees the dress coming.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    But if your dog gets stiff, he hides, growls, or wants to take off his clothes all the time – it’s a clear sign that he’s not feeling well. It’s best to take it off right now. No photo of you is worth your dog’s stress.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The costume is not a game – the dog’s safety is the first<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Many costumes are specifically made with human eyes, not dogs. You should always check:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \nIs there a small, swallowed part (button, buckle, ornament) in it?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/li>\n
    • \nIsn’t it too tight at the neck, under the abdomen?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/li>\n
    • \nDo you not prevent movement or breathing?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/li>\n
    • \nWas it made of the right material?<\/span> – Avoid prickly synthetic textiles, especially in summer.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It’s best if a costume specially designed for dogs<\/b> You choose and always try to measure. A well-tailored, lightweight suit is not only safer, but also more comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \nWhen can be good<\/span> idea <\/span>The costume?<\/span>
      \n<\/h3>\n

      It’s not always the case, but in some situations, you can definitely make the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \nThematic Events<\/span> (e.g. dog farsang, photo contest, family holiday)<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
      • \nDog-friendly events<\/span>Where farmers and quadrupeds have fun together<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
      • \nCreative photography<\/span>if the dog naturally wears the dress<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
      • \nCold weather<\/span>If the costume protects you from wind and cold<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        But always remember, a dog is not a supplement, it’s a partner. If it’s not fun for him, then neither should we.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Tiny tricks to love the dress<\/span><\/h3>\n

        If you want your dog to react positively to costumes, you should gradually get used to:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \nFirst, just show him.<\/span> The dress, let it smell.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
        2. \nGive him a reward bite.<\/span>When you meet the dress, it brings you a pleasant experience.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
        3. \nMake him do it briefly<\/span>Then gradually increase time.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
        4. \nPraise him many times.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          This will help the dog not to be distracted by it, and even be happy to wear it later.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Brizlo Tip: A comfortable dog with the most beautiful dog<\/span><\/h3>\n

          What, the For Brizlo<\/b>We love creative, fun dog clothes – but only if the puppy is happy in them. Our most important principle is: fashion should never be the price of discomfort<\/b>. If your dog doesn’t like the dress, it’s okay – he’s as special as he is without it.<\/span><\/p>\n

          The best costume is always his natural charm: the faithful look, the kissing tail, and the love we get from them every day.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
