If they are uncomfortable, they may try to chew it and swallow a part, which can cause problems intestines. If you want your pet to be in a costume, make sure it fits well, keep an eye on them while they’re wearing it, and don’t leave them out for too long,” said Sarah Wooten, veterinarian. and a veterinary expert of Pumpkin Animal Insurance.
