Dog Clothing: Style & Comfort for your Pooch

28 15:24:02

Big or small, furry or hairless – dogs come in all shapes and sizes. No matter what breed of dog you have, there is a perfect outfit for every dog and every situation. From jumpers to T-shirts to formal wear, dog clothing is only as limited as your imagination. Here are some of the adorable, fancy, and downright hilarious options available for you and man’s best friend.

 

Utilitarian Clothing

 

Sometimes your dog needs some sort of clothing for a specific purpose that goes beyond fashion. If you are taking Fido for a walk in the rain, consider picking up a slicker and some rain boots to keep him dry and comfy despite the elements. Elderly, small, or sickly dogs may require a sweater for daily wear to protect them from catching a chill. You can also purchase reflective dog gear so they will remain visible for safety during night walks.

 

Belly Bands

 

If your dog has a tendency to go potty when he gets excited or tries to mark territory indoors, a belly band is a great dog clothing investment. These handy little garments wrap around a male dog’s waist to keep furniture and carpet dry and unsoiled. You can also buy disposable liners to add to the absorbency of the belly band itself.

 

Fashion Wear

 

Any fashionista wants her dog to look just as stylish as she does, and luckily today’s dog clothing fits the bill perfectly. Options include everything from stylish jumpers to T-shirts to dresses and even wedding styles. All of this stylishness is not limited to girl dogs; there are a number of adorable items for males, as well, from rugged to elegant and beyond.

 

Accesories

 

Once you buy your dog’s perfect ensemble, complete the look with a fashionable accessory or two. These extras include neckties, earwear, shoes, coats, and even hats and scarves. Just like with humans, the right accessory or lack thereof can make or break an outfit.

No matter what your reason for purchasing dog clothing, fit is the most important thing to consider. Carefully measure neck, chest, and back areas for the best fit, and order up a size if one number is a little larger than the size chart. Remember, too, that clothing is an acquired taste that may require an adjustment period for your pooch. Keep trying, and he or she will eventually learn to love these cozy little extras.
