The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to...dress your pup as Buddy the Elf and watch people's reactions as your good boy struts down the street. Whether you want a costume for your four-legged companion this Halloween or you want your pet dressed up in their Christmas best on Dec. 25th, Etsy has got you covered with canine attire your dog can rock all season long.
Starting at $44.5o, the ensemble's resemblance to Buddy's green-and-yellow outfit is uncanny. Etsy seller Karisfancypups designed the one-piece knit outfit so that it can slip on easily, and it even includes elastic adjustable straps so it isn't too snug on your four-legged friend. There's even a jaunty little cone-shaped hat to go with it.
Buyers have nothing but positive reviews on the five-star rated product. "Gosh, this costume is so so cute! It fits perfectly, and it's made well," one wrote, which echoes another reviewer's thoughts: "Super cute—great quality—made for great pictures!"

Each costume is handmade and made especially for your pup, which is why it takes approximately two weeks to get to you after your submit your order. And since these months are the busiest for the seller, she warns that it could even take up to four weeks, unless your dog really needs it for that upcoming photo shoot or costume party.
No matter if your dog is miniature or the size of an middle schooler, your pup's dreams of being Buddy (or, okay, your dreams of your pup becoming Buddy) can become a reality! Just note that the bigger the dog, the higher the price tag.
