The Basketball Costume That Turns Your Pet Into a Social Media Superstar

Bark Baller is designed with comfort as the top priority. The lightweight jersey material won't restrict movement, the elastic waistband adjusts to your pet's body, and the soft collar prevents chafing. We offer three sizes (Small, Medium, Large) for chest girths 18-24 inches. Most dogs and cats find it more comfortable than a regular harness. If your pet can wear a sweater, they can definitely wear this.

Super easy! The tie-back closure at the neck means you just slip it over your pet's head and tie the strings — no complicated buckles or zippers. Most customers can get their pet dressed in under 30 seconds. Taking it off is even faster. Even pets who hate getting dressed usually tolerate this because it goes on so quickly.

The stuffed arms are sewn securely to the chest panel and built to withstand normal play and photo sessions. The foam basketball is designed to be squeezed and handled — it bounces back to shape and won't break if dropped. The quality is much higher than typical costume accessories. Many customers use theirs dozens of times over months without any damage.

Bark Baller works great for small to medium dogs (Corgis, Beagles, French Bulldogs, etc.) and larger cats. The key is chest measurement — anywhere from 18-24 inches works perfectly. If your pet can comfortably wear a harness or sweater, this costume will work. The design accommodates different body shapes and leg lengths.

The costume photographs amazingly from every angle, but here are pro tips: shoot from slightly below your pet's eye level to emphasize the basketball player illusion, use good lighting (natural window light works great), and capture your pet in motion with the basketball for dynamic shots. The costume looks great in both photos and videos.

While the costume is comfortable and safe, we recommend using it for photo sessions and special events rather than all-day wear. Most pets are happy wearing it for 30 minutes to an hour, which is plenty of time for photos, videos, and showing off to friends. Always supervise your pet while they're in costume.

Absolutely! Bark Baller is perfect for Halloween, birthday parties, family gatherings, pet parades, basketball watch parties, or any time you want your pet to be the center of attention. The costume photographs beautifully and always gets huge reactions from crowds. Many customers buy it specifically for holiday cards.

Start slowly! Let your pet sniff and investigate the costume first. Put it on for just a few minutes initially, offering treats and praise. Most pets adjust quickly because the costume is so lightweight and comfortable. If your pet seems stressed, take breaks and try again later. The viral photos are worth the patience!

Most pet costumes are flat, cheap, and don't photograph well. Bark Baller's 3D stuffed arms and realistic basketball prop create an illusion that's actually impressive. The jersey material looks authentic, not like obvious "costume fabric." Plus, the comfort level is miles above typical costumes that restrict movement or irritate pets.

The costume can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently and air dry. Don't put it in the washing machine or dryer, as this could damage the stuffed arms and basketball prop. Most customers find spot cleaning is sufficient since the costume is only worn occasionally.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee because we're confident your pet will love their new costume. If the sizing is wrong or your pet absolutely refuses to wear it, simply return it for a full refund. Most pets who initially resist end up loving the attention they get while wearing it, but we understand every pet is different.

While we can't guarantee viral fame (that's up to the internet!), we can guarantee you'll get amazing photos that generate way more engagement than regular pet pics. The costume is designed specifically to photograph well and create that "double-take" reaction that social media loves. Over 1,000 customers have already seen their engagement explode with this costume.
