How to use this kids' dog costume is super easy. Just put on the all - in - one grey and white jumpsuit. Pull the hood over your head, and you'll instantly look like a cute dog. The attached ears and tail add to the fun. When it comes to safety, make sure kids over 3 years old wear it, as there are small parts that could be a choking hazard. Keep the costume away from fire to avoid any accidents. As for maintenance, always hand wash it separately. This will help keep the colours bright and the costume in good shape. Also, don't forget to keep the packaging, as it might come in handy later.
