Should you dress up your pet this Christmas?

Pet owners may be causing "fear and distress" by dressing up their pets this Christmas.

The RSPCA told 5 live Breakfast pets can become stressed and aggressive as they aren't able to express themselves when they are uncomfortable.

General Manager of All Dogs Matter, Ira Moss says she agrees with the RSPCA's objection to dogs being "dressed up in frilly dresses all the year round" however during the Christmas period "it's generally colder so your dog may be wearing a coat anyway".

"If I put a jumper on my dog which has got total flexibility and it's not restrictive… I personally don't see a problem with that", she says.
