Casual Canine Polyester ER Doctor B001BL8D06

Casual Canine Polyester ER Doctor Dog Costume, X-Large - 4.6 out of 5 stars from 5 customer reviews


Cute!
Got this for my miniature beagle who is about 25-26 lbs, but shorter/smaller than a typical mini beagle (she's some kind of mix). She's solid all around, so I usually have to go with a large so that it will fit around her torso. The fit is great - the shirt is a little long on her (since it's made for larger/longer dogs), but I just tucked it under the pants and folded over so it didn't stick out by her tail. The hat is a little weird - looked more like a chef's hat, and she hates things on her head, so probably will go without it. The stethoscope was a little awkward as it didn't really stay upright on her neck, so I just tucked the ends (the ends where the stethoscope would go into a human's ears) into the elastic band around her neck. It's a little long for her since she's so short (for a large size). Overall happy with my purchase!


Great Costume!
First, I generally hate dressing dogs. That said, my medium sized terrier goes to work with me daily as a pseudo-therapy dog for my medical office. My patients love him and love seeing him in this. He was having a rash and we earned it was from his belly being on the floor so I ordered this for him to wear scrubs like the rest of us. He loves wearing them and the patients love seeing Dr. Doggie come in to calm them down! The rash is gone now but I wish I could find something similar in a little heavier weight since this is meant to be a halloween costume so it hasn't held up well for daily use for him but we have found some equally useful alternatives. I'll also add that he loves putting this on in the morning since he knows he is going to work and like me, he is happy to take it off at the end of the day too!


TOO SMALL
Okay, so I have 4 dogs and I work at a vets office, so I thought this would be a cute outfit for one of them to wear when they accompany me to the clinic. I ordered the XL costume in hopes it might fit one of my two 55lb dogs or my 18lb Boston terrier; it was WAY too small to fit either one of my 55lb dogs and too large to fit my Boston.
I am giving it three stars because it is adorable and for the price you get quite a few "extras" like to stethoscope and the hat; however if it doesn't fit any of my dogs then it's a waste of money.

Cons:
Sizing is WAY off, an XL seems like it would fit a dog under 40-45lbs
