What to consider when purchasing accessories for your dog or cat
Supervision : Always supervise your pets when they are wearing accessories, and while they are playing with toys. If at any time your pet seems distressed by a harness, collar, bandanna, or T-shirt that they are wearing, remove it immediately.
Fit: When purchasing anything for your pet to wear, such as collars, harnesses, or bandannas, make sure they are sized appropriately. If you're ordering an item online, jot down your dog or cat's measurements and use the size chart (when available) to figure out what will work best for your pet. Your pet should be able to move comfortably in their "Stranger Things"-themed apparel. An item of clothing that's too small could be constricting, while one that's too big could be a tripping hazard.
Appropriate Size: When selecting toys for your dog or cat, pick appropriately sized toys. Toys that are too small can be a choking hazard for pets and should be avoided. Similarly, for dogs that are heavy chewers, you'll want to pay special attention to make sure that they don't chew off small pieces of a toy that could be ingested.

Things" Pet Bandana
Available in two sizes, extra-small/small and medium/large, this bandanna features repeating "Stranger Things" logos. The bandana is black with the classic red text.

This bandana is made of polyester—when it gets dirty, it can be spot cleaned. The smaller size accommodates a maximum neck girth of 24 inches and is 11 inches long. The larger size accommodates a maximum neck girth of 32 inches and is 15 inches long.

Is your cat ready to curl up in the belly of the beast? This "Stranger Things" hideout and scratcher is a cozy hangout for any feline fan. Resembling a Demogorgon, the interior features a corrugated scratching block that gives your cat the opportunity to scratch and stretch. It's also a sheltered place to curl up and take a nap. Encourage your cat to use the hideout by sprinkling some catnip over the scratching block or tossing their favorite toys inside. The cat house is easy to assemble and doesn't require any tools. If the Demogorgon is simply too scary, you can opt for an arcade machine version that looks straight out of The Palace.

Just like the members of the Hellfire Club, your dog needs a good set of D&D dice. These ones happen to be made from natural rubber and can be used to hide soft treats like dog-safe peanut butter or wet food. The 20-sided dice design of these toys gives them a fun and unpredictable bounce that will keep dogs engaged and interested in games of fetch. The rubber is durable enough for aggressive chewers and doesn't have a chemical smell. These dice come in a two-pack and are designed for medium-sized dogs weighing 25 to 50 pounds. You also can buy a single die in size large (for dogs weighing 40 to 75 pounds) on Amazon.
