Dog Clothes for your Canine Friend

Winters are testing times not only for you but also your pet canine. The weather outside is bitterly cold and it certainly makes sense to cover your dogs with clothes that would keep them warm. Doesn’t matter what people say, your dog (especially if it’s a small breed) needs clothes that would protect them from the harsh weather.

For dog lovers there isn’t anything cute than watching your favorite canine friend strutting along in dog clothing. Contrary to popular belief some dogs are indeed excited to dress up. It’s a known fact that dogs crave for attention. A dog that’s dressed in cute yet comfortable clothes is sure to attract attention from curious onlookers. Getting ready for a Halloween or Christmas party? Why not team up with your canine friend and get a dress that matches your theme? You could choose from T-shirts, dog sweaters and even tuxedos. But before you decide to dress up little Tinkerbell, remember, that unlike humans, dogs aren’t naturally inclined to wear clothes. Get a dress that makes him comfortable and isn’t demeaning to him.

A number of people think buying dog clothes involves getting the best designer clothes and the dog is sure to be happy about it. Truth be told- your dog isn’t bothered, if you’ve got a $100 designer sweater or made a dress that’s made from your worn out sweater. All that it’s bothered about is comfort and acceptability among its peers.

The first thing to consider before buying dog clothes is size. Remember to check for your dog’s size before you buy clothes for your dog. A dog sweater too small or too large is sure to cause discomfort. If possible you could try the dress before buying.

The second most important aspect to be considered is comfort. Buy clothes that go along with the character of the breed. Fancy dresses with buttons and hooks can be potentially dangerous and may carry choking hazards. Also make sure that the clothes aren’t made from toxic materials. Polyester is generally considered a safe option. The clothes that you buy should not make them look funny.

Needless to say, dog clothes are sure to get dirty. Barney isn’t bothered about the cost of the dress, if he feels like rolling on the ground, he is sure to do so! Make sure to buy clothes that are easy to wash.

There are a number of online stores that sell everything related to dogs, from dog clothes, to dog carriers, dog toys and even little knick knacks like charms, hair bows and even sunglasses.
