If you really need more convincing, I took a couple pictures at last year's parade. It's mostly doggies, but there's a few kitties and horses thrown in for good measure. It's just fun to see all the little costumes.

I think this fluffy little guy ended up being best in show. His human was controlling the car with his iPad, isn't that an incredible setup?

Lots of sweet dogs dressed up, mostly in Christmas gear, but a few standouts like these in "other" genres. I love the lion haircut, so funny!

I guess this is officially a thing now, cute dogs in toy vehicles?
