Dress Your Best Friend In Elegant Warmth With A Dog Sweater

Filed under Dogs

 

Fashionable and practical: Animal couture can be both practical and fashionable. The main reasons for outfitting your best friend is to beat the winter chill as well as to have the best-dressed and most fashionable pup in the street. Dressing your dog is the greatest way to show off his or her best traits and cute attitude while still keeping him or her warm and comfortable. The secret lies in combining style and practicality. Nothing is sweeter than a mini Doberman with a white and pink Dog Sweater and pink footless socks.

Dressing for the occasion is also very popular. For example, Red and Pink for Valentines Day or Green and Red for Christmas. Other reasons beside weather and fashion call for the wearing of clothing including after grooming. Dogs can easily get sick due their layer of insulation being clipped, washed or shaven off. Hair loss is also very common after certain medications and surgery. Clothing will assist quicker re-growth. In extremely warm weather conditions, clothing can protect the dog from harmful UV exposure. The preferred clothing choice will be a lightweight shirt. Clothing can also assist as a barrier between the dog and the skin conditions, to reduce scratching and licking.

Suitable gear: Pick the correct size of dog clothes to suit your animals’ size and breed. You don’t want your dog to be a laughing stock or uncomfortable. The incorrect size clothing can be more of a burden than a joy for the animal to wear. It should be a fun and comfortable experience for both animal and owner. Do not squeeze a large dog into medium or small sized Dog’s clothing.

Gender consideration: Remember to consider your dogs’ gender when buying clothes. Just as male and female bodies differ so do those of bitches and male dogs. Under exposure of the stomach area for a male and over expose for female will cause discomfort, irritability and often a plain mess.

Do-it-yourself: Making clothing for your dog is quick and easy by using the Internet as endless source of patterns and ideas. You can decide either to sew or knit the items. If you decide on sewing. fleece will be the best material as it’s warm, stretchy and easy wearing. Should you choose to knit instead, invest in quality wool with good stretch properties and at least US size 19 needles.

Learn to wear: Not all dogs will immediately like the feeling of an extra layer of pelt. They need to get use to clothing as well as footwear from an early age of about two to four months. However it is imperative for animals to wear clothing in cold countries or areas such as United Kingdom and Russia. Overcooling and exposure must be avoided and at least a couple of sweaters or coats must form part of the animals’ wardrobe.

Suppliers: The majority of animal specialty stores and pet shops stock and supply clothes. Shopping online for Dog’s Sweaters is another great option . The greatest and fussiest fashionista will have a wide variety of couture to select from no matter the taste.

Designer or do-it yourself: You don’t have to be a star to have a well-dressed pooch. Many companies that specialize in dog products have quality dog clothes ready made for you. Also, an old men’s sock or sweater can be revamped into something lovely and traditional in two ticks. However if you have the budget a couple of famous designers have added dog couture to their ranges. Just remember - expensive does not mean better, especially when it comes to dog sweaters.
