Lion Mane Costume for Dogs
There are plenty of costumes that you can buy that can turn your four-footed friend into a small, medium or large dinosaur. There are even costumes you can get for your pet that feature human characters such as pirates from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
But the most popular costume this year is the Lion Mane Costume for Dogs. This costume will have your friends and family laughing out loud and will bring a smile to all who see your dog wearing it.
The costume is easy to slip on and off your dog for his comfort and even larger size dogs can wear it. Before Halloween arrives, if your dog isn’t used to wearing anything on his head, you’ll want to take a few days and get him to wear it for a short length of time.
This way, he’ll be adjusted to the presence of the mane by Halloween. The mane is the same wide, bushy brown as a lion’s mane. When it’s worn by large dogs, especially dogs with light colored fur like golden retrievers, from a distance, the dog will fool people into thinking they’ve seen a small lion.
This mane is adjustable so even if you don’t have a large dog, the costume will still be the perfect fit. The costume fits because it has a drawstring closure. All you have to do is tighten or loosen the drawstring as needed.
This is a top quality costume made of polyester and fur fibers. If you’ve already used this popular idea for Halloween, you do have other choices. There is the Animal Planet PET20104 Triceratops Dog Costume, which is too cute.
This costume features the head of the horned dinosaur. The skin part of the costume has a brown background and is designed to look just like the skin of a dinosaur.
It has the two long horns on either side and the short horn in the middle of the headpiece. A velcro strap at the bottom of the headpiece is how the costume remains in place.
Another dinosaur costume that you can get for your pet is the Animal Planet PET20109 Raptor Dog Costume. This one will turn your dog into the cutest predator on the planet.
The costume consists of the foam headpiece and body. The head of the costume has the reptilian eyes and white teeth that rest on your dog’s forehead. The front feet of the costume extend outward and will sway as your dog walks.
The costume slips on over your dog’s head and there are two places for your dogs front paws. The back paws are left free.
