Costume is top gift for pets
Wigan dog lovers can't get enough of these canine "Claws" outfits.
Sales of Santa costumes for dogs have been rocketing out of Pets at Home on Robin Park during the festive season.
Yes, Santa Paws is coming to town!
Store manager Paul Cross said: "Every hour, this whole section is being trashed in the rush to buy them. It's been unbelievable, they have been extremely popular this year.
"People are even bringing their dogs in to try them on first. It's a bit of fun and has that novelty factor.
"Pet owners always buy their pets something for Christmas, whether they've a hamster or a dog.
"Nine times out of 10 they'll get them a present. But so far the Santa costume has out sold everything else, it's been a fantastic year."
But as if turning your pet pooch into a jolly fat man who devours meat pies isn't enough there's a whole collection of doggy wear to choose from.
You can dress that pampered pooch in polo shirts and jackets, sweaters and scalf and gloves.
But if you really want to make a statement this Christmas there's even a novelty section of Cowboy and Knight costumes.
And if that's not your cup of tea there's even a pinky pink girly section!
Now there's paws for thought for any Christmas shopper...
