Pet Tuxedos

by Victor Santerino

The fact that many people throughout the country feel that their pets are "part of the family", becomes quite obvious when they put them in clothes. Events such as Halloween, Christmas, and even weddings are times when people dress their dogs and cats.

Tuxedos are among the most common pieces of clothing to put on pets. This gives animal lovers an excuse to bring their beloved pets to their weddings. Having a dog running around a church would be inappropriate, but dress that dog in a tux and that's a different story.

The cat tuxedo is not seen nearly as often as its antithesis. However, you will see some cat lovers dressing up their cats and placing them near the alter during wedding ceremonies.

The major advantage of putting a cat in a tuxedo over a dog is that the cat is less likely to rip the tuxedo off right away. Once the cat is used to the tux he/she usually leaves it alone. This is great because you do not want to have to follow the cat around fixing its tuxedo all day long.

Cats have a disadvantage over dogs in the fact that they are usually less dense in size. They cannot have a big and regal tuxedo placed onto them because it simply will not fit correctly.

Placing a dog tuxedo on your dog is the most common practice you can do in terms of dressing up your pet. These animals have been used in weddings as ring bearers for quite some time now.

The main advantage to using a tuxedo on a dog rather than a cat is that they tend to have more body mass to cover. Also they can be trained to sit still while putting the tux on and after the tuxedo is on and the ceremony or event is taking place.

The disadvantage to the dog tuxedo is the fact that dogs tend to tear at foreign objects placed on them. You may find that your dog has ripped his/her tuxedo off well before you even begin your black tie affair.
