Why We Like This Product
At YPC, we’ve seen many costumes, but the cowboy rider never fails to get a laugh. When our test Labrador wore the XL size, the cowboy figure bobbing along looked absolutely hilarious. We also appreciated that the fabric was soft enough for long wear, and the straps were easy to adjust. It’s an instant hit for owners who love humour and pets that don’t mind wearing a harness-style outfit.

For novelty costumes like this, choosing the right size is crucial. Always measure your dog’s chest and compare to the sizing chart before ordering. Introduce the outfit gradually, rewarding your pet to keep the experience positive. These costumes are best for festive walks, photos, and short events. If your pet dislikes bulkier costumes, try lighter accessories like hats or wings instead.
