2006 saw the return of the annual cultural monolith that is the Woefstock Dog Festival. The two day event takes place in Antwerp and offers the chance for dog owners from across the world to turn up, dress up their pooches and royally embarrass them in front of their puppy peers.

In the gallery below you’ll find a collection of images of what can only be described as chihuahuas wearing ridiculous outfits. If you find the sight of animals in clothes offensive, it’s probably best to look away now. Everyone else, prepare for a feast of extraordinary silliness by clicking on the thumbnail images below.

And if you have a particularly trendy pet at home, a cat or a dog that effortlessly exude sartorial elegance, send us a photograph and we’ll parade it before our panel of judges for possible inclusion in our forthcoming pet of the week gallery.

Send us photos of your pets. Here. Now.
