I think it's degrading for the poor animal just so someone can go "OOOHHHH" "AHHHH" but that's just me. Welcome to the forum

Hi petscrescent, welcome to the forum. What kind of pet do you have?

I'm Toni with 4 rescue cats aged between 4 & 14.

Like Tingler I personally don't like the idea of dressing up pets unless it was necessary, e.g. giving a thin coated dog a waterproof or warm jacket in winter when going out, or a sphynx (cat) who has no fur but again only a warm jacket when out. The one time I could support clothing a dog or a cat all the time would be for medical reasons such as a body suit when they have been spayed so as to protect the stitches.

Happy days with

I disagree with dressing up pets, unless it is a practical item of clothing like a jacket, coat, high-vis vest, or a plain jumper.

Pets are the WRONG type of 'things' in this World which to be dressed up - go buy a Barbie Doll and dress THAT in a stupid frilly ballerina dress.... lol

Welcome to the Community! I agree with the others - dressing up any animal for humans 'pleasure' is just plain wrong! A coat for warmth, say for a sphynx cat in the winter, ok fine, but thats all!
