Pets do become part of a family. Either going to the groomer or taking it one step further and matching them in outfits! For many show pet owners, dressing up pets can all be good-natured; a lighthearted way to indicate one's care and share photographs with other folks who like animals. it's important to stop and think about how dressing up our pets makes them feel because it might not be making the pets as much enjoyment from this experience. Some pets may not find it worrying or scary to be dressed up. Others maybe worried and scared by this process, but their owner might not always notice the signs of weakness or feelings of dreadfulness in them.  

National Dress Up Your Pet Day is celebrated on January 14 annually.
