01/07 Dressing up Doggie
We’ve all seen the cute little discount dog clothes in the stores and many of us laugh and think they are silly. In most cases, clothing for dogs seems to make little sense. We can’t see our Chocolate Lab or our Golden Retriever prancing around the neighborhood while a lacy dress or a sporty looking dog sweater. But, in some cases, the clothes are necessary. Certain breeds of dogs, mostly the smaller ones, tend to lose heat rapidly and find that the sweaters and coats help keep them warm during long walks or extended periods of outdoor play. And some dogs seem to enjoy wearing the clothing. Before you purchase any sort of outfit for your dog, pay attention to his or her personality. If it seems like they’d hate the clothing, don’t bother splurging but if your pup looks like she may like to dress up, buy something that not only looks good but also keeps your dog warm and comfortable.
