Whether your dog needs a warm jacket to join your family for football or you’d like to snap a few pictures of him dressed up like a turkey, here are some of the best dog Thanksgiving clothes and costumes. We've found a variety of options from warm sweaters to jerseys that will allow Fido to root for his favorite team.

So, you're ready for the holiday – get to dinner, watch the Thanksgiving Dog Show and enjoy. Remember that dressing your pet for Thanksgiving isn't all about his adorable appearance. You need to make sure that he's safe and comfortable too! It's a good idea to try his outfit on a few days in advance just to make sure he'll be comfortable in it all day.

Finding the perfect fit could be a challenge depending on your pup's build. If dog Thanksgiving clothes or costumes are too tight they will restrict his range of motion and could cause uncomfortable chafing. If they're too loose they could get caught on something and really hurt your pet.

Follow the measurement instructions closely for any clothing or costumes that you order for your pet online. If possible, take your dog with you while shopping and try the outfit on in the store. Let your pet wear it around for a little while to make sure it's comfortable.
