Santa Rider Dog Costume | Funny Christmas Dog Outfit

A Christmas outfit with a sense of humour.

Most festive dog clothing asks your dog to be cute.This one lets your dog be the punchline — in a good way.A small plush Santa sits on the back, complete with a white beard, a red hat with a pom-pom,andhands that appear to grip the sides, while the body of the outfit is a red-and-black buffalo plaid vest edged in white faux fur.The effect is a Santa who appears to be riding your dog, which is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds, and exactly why it works in photos.

The vest sits over the back rather than wrapping the legs, so your dog can walk, sniff and toilet normally — which matters, because the best photos of this outfit are the ones where the dog is doing something ordinary while the Santa rides along.The plaid fabric is soft and holds its shape, and the faux-fur trim frames the vest without making it bulky.

How it differs fromourother Christmas outfits: our dog Santa costumeis a full-body Santa outfit your dog wears; ourChristmas dog cape and tartan dog cape with hooddrape over the back with no plush figure.This one is the only piece in our range built around aplush Santa riding on the dog’s back.

Made for the moments that actually happen:a Christmas photo, a family gathering, a funny video, a festive walk, a Secret Santa for a pet owner, or a gift for the dog who already has the serious outfits.

Sizing note:measure the back length and chest girth.The vest should sit over the back without dragging, and the plush Santa should sit upright rather than flopping to one side.If your dog is between sizes, size up.Small and medium breeds are the best match for this style.

A note on supervision:the plush Santa, pom-pom and faux-fur trim are attached parts. Check them regularly, remove the outfit if your dog paws at the Santa or tries to chew it, and take it off for bedtime or unsupervised time.
