How To Choose The Ideal Designer Dog Coat For Your Pooch

In recent times it seems to me that a lot of folk have been talking about dogs having a sixth sense. Now I don't know about dogs having some sort or paranormal insight but what I do know is that they've definately got fashion sense. So remember you dog deserves to be as hip as the next fashion model and you can only ensure this by getting your pooch a decent designer dog coat!

Why Dog Coats Matter In a world rife with variety in every sector of life, dog coats are no exception. There are a myriad of different types of dog coat. You have the good old fashion all in one dog coat, the city dog coat, the arsenal dog coat and the all weather dog coat. There are even (thank heavens) a few designer dog coats on the market these days. Whereas in the old days, you had to clothe your canine in mainly unexciting and uninspired fare, today is truly a different era. Dog owners no longer see there pets as essentially different from humans. They see their pets as deserving all of the same luxuries and tastes as any sensitive human being would demand. This has given birth a sort of renaissance, if you will, of doggy shoes, doggy bonnets, doggy trousers and of course dog coats. Given this overall effusion of excitement, I'm sure that you and your dog are just dying to join in on the fun.

Here are the two main elements that you should look for in a dog coat:

1. Function. We must admit, function is secondary when choosing a dog coat. It's just not the main attraction. However, if you live in a cold climate and don't want to have to leave your best friend at home when you take your morning jog, a high quality warm and insulated dog coat really is a necessity. For a highly functional dog coat that will keep your canine warm in any whether, a wool-based coat is one of the best options. This material will keep that little pooch warm and comfy regardless of the harshness of the weather.

2. Fashion. Now this is the really important category. Leave function behind if you have to, but NEVER leave fashion behind. Dressing your dog in an ugly coat is just wrong. It is - and I do not exaggerate - the eighth deadly sin. Looking cool should be the first word in the dog coat decision making process. Always choose patters and colours that complement your dog's fur, eyes, and temperament. Also, do not make the mistake of thinking that your dog does not care what he or she is wearing. (Believe me; I know this from personal experience. If you put your dog in an article of clothing that he or she doesn't like, the pooch will act naughty all day long. This is uncanny, but true!)

In conclusion, remember that really putting thought into your decision is a huge part of what it means to really care for your dog. Don't rush, think about the ideal way to express your dog's personality through fashion and choose a super dog coat. It's that simple!
