Come on ... you’ve seen it... the muscular Bulldog in the tight sweater regally pulling it’s master along for a brisk autumn walk... the Chihuahua in a poncho pullover with the little sombrero watching the parade go by from the safety of it’s owners arms... and especially the Weiner Dog in the bright yellow raincoat cautiously peering off the curb at the puddles in the street.
How To Avoid Wasting Money
On The Wrong Dog Clothes
There are many excellent reasons for your dog to be proudly decked out in some fine threads. But faced with the seemingly endless choices of canine clothes, how do you avoid wasting your money on the wrong items?Here’s where we can help! We’ll walk you through all you need to know to make smart, appropriate decisions on which dog clothes are right for your special K-9 friend and for those everyday and special occasions.
Important Dog Clothes Features
First let's talk about K9 clothing features. We all know that it’s best when the clothes match the occasion. Well, we need to consider our four-legged friends as part of the occasion as well. For instance...Is your doggie fascinated by dangling strings, feathers, or buttons? Do these things present an irresistible challenge for your dog to chew? Or does your pup squeeze through tight places that may be a snag hazard?
Then you’ll definitely want to check out Velcro closures for your dog’s garments. They also help with sizing if your dog’s weight varies with the seasons.
Is the outfit you’re choosing for your dog’s theme party costume fire resistant to all the holiday candles?
How many holiday, birthday, and annual get togethers are spruced up with attractive centerpieces with lighted candles?
I know that my dog will try to get as close as possible to the coffee table with the candle when I look away... because that’s where the snacks are spread out!
Knowing that my mutt isn’t going to burst into flame and run wild through the party is one less thing for me to be concerned about.
Do you need to attach a lease to your dog’s collar or harness in order to take your dog out? Some dog clothes take this into consideration and some don’t. So you’ll definitely want to check it out up front.
Does your pup's outfit need to be removed every time your dog needs to go outside to do her business?
For your convenience, as well as that of your dog, look for dog clothes that have adequate openings for visits to the powder room. Trust me here, your dog may not notice until it’s too late!
Even though we have to consider a few precautions when choosing a cool outfit for our dogs, it's definitely worth it for the fun reactions you get from your party guests!
They get a kick out of it every time the dog makes the rounds through the party. And they all want a picture with the K-9 guest of honor!
Dog Clothes Festivities
We are definitely not left wanting for occasions that would be that much better when accented by the right dog clothes outfit.All our annual celebrations like New Year’s Day, the Fourth of July, birthday parties, fund raising events, religious and company picnics, and holiday celebrations can all be “snazzed” up with a clever or flashy ensemble.
Think of the parades you’ve seen that showcased our lovable, talented four-legged friends in smart and entertaining get-ups.
From celebrating a deep sense of patriotism to the love of our favorite sports teams... nothing brings out the joy like seeing a dog sporting a smart jacket with matching hat, shoes and sunglasses.
Our love of dogs causes us to naturally include them in events that are special to us.
From dressing them up with inspirational outfits to represent our school spirit... to “best dog” tuxedos and dog bow ties at our weddings.
We find that our special canine friends will lend themselves to supporting any cause dear to us. That is... as long as we share our love... and being seen in some stylish new dog clothes wouldn’t hurt.
Fun Dog Clothes Can Be Functional, Too!
Besides the amusement and “photo ops” of zany outfits for holiday fun and theme parties... there are the many practical reasons for dog clothes that are readily demonstrated by our changeable weather conditions.The sight of a small dog snuggly wrapped in a fuzzy dog sweater on a chilly morning walk is sure to warm our hearts.
And there are countless dog clothes options and accessories to help your dog brave the weather as well as make that smart fashion statement.
It’s fun to check out clothes for dogs... dog sweaters, dog coats, dog sweatshirts, dog raincoats, dog sun wear, and of course, all the matching accessories to protect your dog from the weather in style.
Many people do not realize that a dog’s feet may get frostbite from exposure to snow and ice. And that the salt used to melt snow can injure the fleshy pads of a dog’s feet.
Dog owners are starting to react to these environmental concerns by outfitting their pooch with durable dog boots.
Dog clothes come in a wide variety of colors so you can take advantage of the latest fashion trends. They protect your dog’s paws while nicely coordinating with your favorite color schemes.
Even The Upscale Designers
Are Into Dog Clothes
For those that want their dog to sport the best in fashion labels... check out the different lines of designer dog clothes.There are designer dog sweaters, name brand outfits in denim and leather, and even emblems from such greats as Harley Davidson.
And dog bandannas are always a hit if you want to show a little elegance with the minimum of effort. They come in all types of patterns and materials and are sized for all the breeds of dogs.
It always seems like my handsome mutt is actually smiling from all the attention he gets when I take him through the park with a colorful bandanna tied around his neck.
There are some great places to get cool dog clothes online that may not be available at your local supermarket or pet shop. Remember to check them out for features that are safe and convenient.
With a little creativity and the right dog clothes, you and your dog can be the life of the party!
