Dog Clothes: Essential Protection for Your Dog this Winter
Dogs are just like humans in that they do not like wet and cold weather and can suffer in winter time if they do not have the correct protection against the cold weather. Dog clothes are a wardrobe essential for your four legged friend that keeps them warm and most importantly happy no matter the weather.
Dog clothes are well designed garments that are designed with your dog in mind so that your dog can function in his everyday life whilst staying cosy and comfortable. Dog clothes are idea for canines that fall into the categories listed below;
- Older/senior dogs
- Injured or recovering dogs
- Small dogs as they are closer to the ground and easily get wet
- Dogs with thin or thinning coats
- Working dogs
- Dogs living or working in extreme climates
- Puppies
A coat for your dog can provide extra protection and insulation whilst they explore the outdoors and most dogs love the fuss of getting dressed in the winter time. If your dog has been injured or has suffered from an illness they would benefit from an extra layer of dog clothes when they are out and about as they can reach full health again faster. If your dog is hesitant about going outside they may be feeling the cold so it is important to notice the signs and dress them appropriately.
You should always ensure that the clothing item works with the shape of your dog’s body and does not prevent him/her from doing anything they would normally do! When your dog does not want to wear dog clothes you should respect the welfare and rights of your dog. It is all part of being a good dog owner after all!
