Product description
Most pet fancy dress is a flat printed shape and a photograph that flatters it. This one has jointed legs that stand away from the body and move as your pet moves, which is what makes the spider read as a spider from across a room rather than as a black bib. The body section sits over the shoulders and the legs splay out from there, so it works on a cat or a small dog equally well.
Sitting over the shoulders rather than round the neck matters more than it sounds: it puts the weight on the strongest part of the body and keeps nothing pressing on the throat. The legs are the whole point and also the thing to watch, because they catch on furniture, doorframes and other pets. A costume like this belongs in an open room for a few minutes, not on a walk. Three sizes and three colourways are listed.
- Jointed spider legs that move with your pet
- Sits over the shoulders rather than around the neck
- Sizes small, medium and large
- Colourways listed as red, black, and black with red
- Suits cats and small dogs
Two things worth knowing. Costumes are for short, supervised periods only — never leave one on an unattended pet, overnight, or during rough play, and take it off the moment your pet freezes, flattens or starts reversing out of it. We also hold no measurements from the maker, so we would rather measure the costume for you than repeat a size chart we cannot verify. Chest girth behind the front legs is the number to send us.
Who it's for: Anyone dressing a tolerant cat or small dog for a Halloween photo or a short party appearance, who wants something with real shape to it.
Why we chose it
The jointed legs stand away from the body, so it reads as a spider across a room rather than a black bib. It sits over the shoulders, nothing pressing on the throat. Indoors only, the legs catch.
— Matt, founder

Size guide & how to measure
Pet coats and jumpers are sized mainly by back length, with chest girth as a second check. Back length matters most for coverage.
How to measure
- Back length: measure along the spine from the base of the neck (collar area) to the base of the tail.
- Chest: measure around the widest part of the ribcage, behind the front legs.
- If the two measurements suggest different sizes, choose by back length and allow for the chest.
| Size | Typical back length | Typical chest |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 20–25 cm | 30–40 cm |
| S | 25–32 cm | 38–50 cm |
| M | 32–40 cm | 48–62 cm |
| L | 40–50 cm | 60–76 cm |
| XL | 50–60 cm | 74–92 cm |
