Dog Clothing and More

A couple of decades ago you might occasionally see a dog in a dog sweater and some dogs of the rich and famous had several sweaters and maybe diamonds in her collars.  But over the last few years the dog fashion and dog clothing industry has exploded.  Although you can find dog clothing for almost any size dog it is mostly the smaller dogs that are dressed. 

I think the owner probably enjoys the dog fashion more than the dog but as long as the clothes don’t obstruct the dogs’ movement he or she won’t mind and may really enjoy the attention that stems from wearing dog fashions.

Especially for the small thin coated dogs the dog clothes are quite necessary to protect them from the elements.

You can order just about anything you can think of for your dog.  There are dog coats, sweaters, dresses, pants, shirts, sweatshirts, jewelry, hats, bandanas, halloween costumes and even a tuxedo and wedding dress.  So, enjoy the fun!

Now days it is so much fun to dress our dogs in dog clothes.  There are so many cute otfits to choose from.  But, are those dog clothes really necessary?  Well, I think so, because it is so much fun!  But the fact is smaller dogs with thinner skin and less hair will need a dog sweater or a dog coat when they go out in the cold or rainy weather.  It might be wise to add dog boots to protect their little feet from the ice and snow.

The dog sunglasses are very important for any dog to keep those harmful UV rays out of their eyes.  You wear sunglasses when you go out in the sun to protect your eyes so don’t forget to put them on your dog too.

The dog t shirts, dresses, pajamas and robes are of course not necessary but lots of fun!

When you’re hanging out at the beach on those warm summer days, your sassy and sexy female canine should be able to strut her stuff just like all the other beach citizens.  Include your dog in the skin tight sensual delight that is sunbathing with a dog bikini.  Your cute little girl will be the envy of all the male and female dogs on the beach, and probably draw attention to her owner too!  For added effect, complete her outfit with a cute little towel to lie on and an umbrella to shade her from the eyes of onlookers who are just a little too curious. 

Be sure to wear your own beach fashion to compliment your cute little pup; you’re sure to make quite a pair on a hot summer day! 

We all know that a dog coat will keep the dog warm in cold weather, but other reasons are protection from dirt, rain or snow.  Coats can keep the dog clean and away from pests, burrs and stickers. 

Before ordering a coat be sure to measure carefully.  Measure the length of the dog from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.  If there are other measurements required be sure to check them to get the best fit possible

A large dog dressed up in large dog clothes can be just as cute as a tiny dog.  Large dogs get cold and wet just like people and little dogs.  So, consider a jacket, a hoodie or a rain coat for nasty weather. 

Bigger dogs look great in shorts or pants too. Many people like to dress their big dogs in a matching sweatshirt.

If you think putting clothing on dogs will be going out of style anytime soon, I’m afraid it won’t happen.  There are more styles and designs every year for dog clothing.

Even in the summer the UV rays of the sun can reach a dog’s skin and cause a sunburn.  A light weight t-shirt can be helpful for this problem.  Of course in the winter dog sweaters and coats are needed - especially for the thin skinned little dogs.  Boots protect a dog’s feet from the dangers of ice, snow and salt.

When the weather turns cold there is nothing better than a dog jumpsuit.  A jumpsuit can be any type of fabric but it covers the dog’s entire body, some even have a hood.

You can get quilted jumpsuits for walking in the really cold weather.  Lighter weight jumpsuits can be worn under coats or in the house.

Luckily there are dog clothes for those of us who refuse to think our dogs are just dogs!

I’m sure the owners enjoy dressing the dogs more than the dogs do, but as long as the clothes aren’t too restrictive and uncomfortable they will usually put up with it.  And many dogs even enjoy the attention they get when they are dressed up.  I love dressing up my dog and taking pictures.  So cute!

So many precious things are available for dog owners.  Adorable sweaters, comfy coats, stylish dresses, rugged sportswear, t-shirts with funny sayings, Halloween costumes and even tuxedos and wedding dresses.

As the years go by more and more items are available.  Back in the day you might see occasionally a dog in a sweater, but now it is quite common to see dogs in dog clothes, sunglasses, jewelry and hats.  Legally blonde’s Bruiser and Paris Hilton’s Tinkerbell helped make the clothes so very popular in recent years. So, if you want your dog to be in style put him or her in some dog clothes.

When the weather turns cold and you are ordering new sweaters and coats and boots, don’t forget your good friend.  The smaller dogs for sure need winter clothes and the larger dogs may enjoy a little extra warmth too.

The small and tiny dogs have very thin skin and will be cold when they go outside in the winter.  They may even be chilly in the house, especially if you keep the heat low.  A sweater or sweatshirt is good for wearing in the house if the dog is chilly.  This also is fine for cooler evenings and mornings anytime.  But when winter sets in the warm dog coats are a necessity.  Make sure they fit well and don’t dig into the dog’s skin.

When it is cold your little dog will want boots to keep his paws warm and protect him from the ice and snow and salt. 

Measure carefully before ordering dog clothes. 

If your dog is new to dog clothing and boots it will most likely be necessary to introduce him slowly.  Show him the item, praise him and give him a treat.  work with him for a few minutes each day using the praise and treats until he is ready to leave the clothing and boots on.
