How to Choose the right Clothes for your dogs?

A lot of people still believe that dressing dogs is just a human fad, but it’s important to realize that for a pet spending most of his time in a warm apartment, it’s difficult to adapt to changing conditions outside. The situation is different with the outdoor dog, that is used to stay out the whole day and his body will protect himself from the cold, mainly due to the proper amount of body fat and thick fur. We certainly should not dress such dogs. All of the other dogs, especially those with short hair, older or sick –might benefit from wearing some warm clothing before going out for a walk.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOG CLOTHES

dog sweaters

made of knitted fabric. They provide warmth, but don’t actually protect against strong wind and moisture. Dog sweaters usually have a head-hole to put them on. We often use dog sweaters during the first cold days or when we see our dog freezing and shaking at home.

dog jackets and dog suit

can be made from fleece, but usually they have several-layers and are the combination of the warm material and some water-resistant fabric, such as polyamide, polyester. They can additionally have a hood, however, it is more of a visual than a practical element.

dog hoodie

is made mostly of cotton or polyester knitted fabric. Just like sweaters, dog hoodies are good idea for the transitional periods (spring/autumn), when it’s cold outside. They provide the greatest comfort and freedom of movement because they do not stick so close to the dog’s body as dog jackets or sweaters.

DOG CLOTHES – NOT ONLY FOR WINTER

Currently, on the dog products market, among many types of dog clothes, we can find plenty of interesting solutions. It turns out that dog clothes do not necessarily have to protect against cold.

It is also important to choose the dog clothes that are easy to put on and fasten –for you and for your dog. You should pay attention to the item’s fabrics (some dogs can get allergic just like people), methods of cleaning and maintenance, and whether it contains elements that our dog can easily destroy or bite off.

Finally, it’s a good idea to choose the dog clothes that combine functionality and comfort with a fashionable and stylish look. When the new dog suit appeals to both: the dog and its owner, then they can know for sure that the winter walks will be a great pleasure for both of them.
