On their website Kmart helpfully attributes the extra large size to ‘Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Standard Poodles and English Setters’, while the medium is ‘suitable for West Highland Terriers, Fox Terriers and French Bulldogs’
There are also a selection of Halloween bandanas for those dogs not too fond of getting completely dolled up for the occasion
Despite the small amount of dissent the vast majority of buyers are pretty pleased with their pooches new outfits – so much so that they plan on matching them come October 31
