There are several good functional reasons why an owner should think about dressing their dog in clothes. With regard to designer dog clothes there are some that may consider this "frivolous" so I'll be taking a look at that too. Firstly let's look at the functional purpose that some dog clothes can serve; A lot of people say the dogs have their own coats and so do not need extra clothing. True!! They may have their own coats but a thick shaggy coat is no fun in hot,steamy weather and likewise a short haired coat is hardly ideal in mid winter in Alaska. For example a Chihuahua not only has short hair but an incredibly small body mass. Take your Chihuahua out for a walk in mid winter in Northern climes and tell me he doesn't shiver and look miserable. Your little pal would be much happier in a snug warm coat, I can guarantee that! So, hopefully we've established that certain dogs, under certain condition actually NEED to be wearing an extra layer of protection. Frozen ground will make your doggy's feet feel like blocks of ice? His soft padded feet sticking to the icy pavement. Not nice! Some cosy boots would solve the problem for him and make him feel a whole lot happier? How about in the hot summer months? You know what it's like to feel your feet burning when walking on a hot sandy beach? It's the same for dogs who walk side by side with their owners. Once again some doggy boots would solve this. Talking of the sun did you know that dogs can suffer skin cancer just as humans can? The solution is a nice cool T-shirt for your pooch. If you have a dog suffering from an allergy a shirt will stop him licking and pawing at the area affected. Once we get over the hurdle of whether a dog should or shouldn't wear attire then we can move into the area of designer dog clothes. If you are going to dress you dog then you might as well make him look good hadn't you? With the vast array of fabulous designer dog clothes available the sky's the limit. Not only can your best friend look super cool and follow all the latest trends...designer dog hoodies anyone?... But I'm convinced he will appreciate being dressed in only the best. Just try walking down your road with your fashion icon by your side and watch peoples reaction, it really is great. Untold conversations will be started over your dog's attire. So in conclusion there are very valid reasons for dressing your dog on health grounds but equally there are very valid reasons for dressing your dog on social and darn right good fun grounds too. Have a go; you and your dog will love it!!
