Whether you’re looking for a fun gift for the dog lover in your life or a festive photo prop to make your Christmas pictures extra adorable this year, this elf hat is sure to bring some smiles your way. I am in love with this design, because try as she may, my golden cannot manage to simply shake this hat off (though if your dog is determined I’m sure he/she will find a way to squirm out of it). My tip for perfect photos: try it on well in advance of your photo shoot & bring lots of treats! Wearing Instructions This elf hat features the same unique wiggle-proof design as my Santa hats. It was designed to not only sit on top your dog’s head, but also fit comfortably around both the dog’s head & ears. To put the hat on your dog, simply slip the hat over your dog’s head, gently fit the ears into the ear holes, & you are ready to take some cute & memorable Christmas photos with your four legged friend. Measurements & Sizing This hat was designed to fit large breed dogs, such as labradors & golden retrievers. It fits most dogs up to about 60-70lbs with a head size of 18-20. This standard hat size features a 5 forehead & 4 ear holes. The optional collar add-on is 25 around the neck. If you need a custom size, just send us a message.
