National Dress Up Your Pet Day is Jan. 14, 2014. The day was founded in 2009 by celebrity pet lifestyle expert and animal behaviorist Colleen Paige and sponsored by the Animal Miracle Foundation as a fun way to celebrate our beloved pets and to support the pet fashion community.
Paige says on the day's official website: "It's important to remember though that it's not a day to disrespect our pets with uncomfortable, vulgar and/or seasonally inappropriate costumes for the sake of a laugh or photo shoot. Have fun with your pets by dressing them in cute outfits and safe costumes, but keep your pet's comfort level in mind when involving him/her in this fun novelty day. Make sure that your pet can see and hear properly and that they aren't wearing something that might overheat them or incorporate any parts that they may chew off and swallow."
