Dog Sweaters, Fun And Fashionable
Why clothes?: Animals especially dogs wear clothing for many reasons. The main reasons of course being to beat the winter chill as well as to be the cutest, most fashionable dog in the neighborhood. Clothes are a wonder way to show of your doggies best features, personality as well as keeping him or her warm. A mix of fashion and practicality. What on earth is cuter than a Chihuahua with a diamond necklace and pink small dog sweaters? Dressing dogs to be in-tune with the latest fashion crazes it growing more and more in popularity.
Dressed for the occasion: Occasion and event dressing is very in now for example dressing your little friend in green and red for Christmas or Red and White for Valentines day. Clothes can also be used as insulation after grooming sessions where the protective layer of pelt is washed, clipped or shaven or after surgery or medication that caused hair loss. The clothing will help the hair grow back much quicker. In intense warm weather conditions a light shirt is excellent protection from harmful UV rays. Clothing can act as an barrier where the dog has a skin condition to reduce tampering and scratching the area.
Choosing a sweater: When deciding on a dogs sweaters for Fiffy or Boss make sure that the sweater suit’s the animal in terms of breed and size. Do not squeeze the dog into a super small outfit meant for a Chihuahua if it is a Doberman.~Dog sweaters should be suitable: When choosing a sweater for your dog, make sure that it is suitable for the animals size and breed. A too big or small outfit can cause the animal immense distress and discomfort. Do not force a Chow into a Boston Terrier clothing item. It should be fun for both owner and dog to wear clothing, not a burden.~Suitable gear: Pick the correct Dog sweaters 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 dogs’ clothing.}
Male and Bitch: Remember that the male and female body of both humans and animals differ. A male dog will be uncomfortable in a bitch sweater as the tummy area will be less exposed and the bitch will be over exposed in the tummy area if wearing a sweater meant for male.
Home made: It is quick and easy to make great dog clothes yourself in the comfort of your own home. No special sewing or knitting expertise required. The internet is a wonderful source for pattern and design ideas. Should you decide on sewing, invest in a stretchy, quality and warm material such as fleece. If you opt for knitting instead buy quality wool with a good stretch. Use at least American size 19 needles.
Get use to: Wearing clothing does not come natural to any animal including dogs. It will take some time getting use to the feeling of an extra layer of skin in either fleece or wool. Start dress training from as early as ages two to four months. In certain countries and regions animals have no choice but to get use to boots and sweaters as the weather conditions don’t allow over cooling. Over cooling and temperature exposure is a total no-no and a least a couple of dog sweaters, coats and boots must form part of the wardrobe.
Suppliers: The majority of animal specialty stores and pet shops stock and supply crochet dog sweater. Shopping online is another great option. The greatest and fussiest fashionista will have a wide variety of couture to select from no matter the taste.
Designer dog: Famous designers have expanded their ranges to now include haut couture for both animal and owner, especially matching outfits are very popular among the jet set of Hollywood. However you don’t have to be a millionaire to have a well dressed pup. Thrift or old sweaters and socks can be turned into wonderful creations for your little friend. No need for needling expertise or tricks.
