About

Wistful Paws makes small, silly things for the pets people are unreasonable about.

We started with one idea: the best pet photos are the ones where the pet has absolutely no idea what is happening. A costume that goes on in ten seconds, comes off just as fast, and earns a picture the whole family passes around. That is the whole brief.

How we choose what to sell

Everything has to clear three tests. It has to be comfortable enough that a pet tolerates it long enough to be photographed. It has to be genuinely funny rather than just novel. And it has to come off easily, because a costume a pet cannot escape is not a costume, it is a problem.

What we are honest about

Our costumes are for supervised photos and short wear. They are not clothing to leave a pet in unattended, and they are not safety products. We size by measured neck girth rather than by breed name, because breeds vary enormously and a name tells you very little about a neck.

We ship within the United States. Free over $30, a flat $5.95 below that, and every order goes out within 24 to 72 hours of the daily cutoff.
