About Pirate Dog

Sailing the seven fleas, even pirates need companionship! Although pirates are commonly depicted with a parrot perched atop their shoulders, they also had a number of pets. Cats were kept aboard the ships to avoid an infestation of rats and mice, monkeys (like the one kept by both Barbosa and Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean were able to be trained to reach things in high places, and dogs were loyal friends and retrievers to many a pirate and would aid them in hunting for food.

Dressing up as a Pirate Dog

For a furry scurvy dog, dress up yer pirate pooch with a costume fit for diggin' up the bones of the Jolly Roger! Several adorable pirate costumes are available for dogs large, small, or somewhere in between. Depending on how receptive your pet is to getting dressed up, there are costumes that include a striped pirate tunic and a small pirate hat designed to fit atop your dog's head with a safety elastic. Other styles give the illusion of your pet walking on two legs instead of four, featuring Velcro closures that wrap safely around his or her waist and around your pet's front paws. One of the costumes in this style are terrific for your favorite four-legged girl, a pirate queen costume with a black and burgandy dress with mock "corset" on the front of the gown.
