Dog clothing has been gaining popularity recently, mainly because of stars such as Paris Hilton and Oprah Winfrey displaying the hippest doggie fashion on their pets. At one time, all that was available were rather plain looking doggie coats. Well, the times have changed and now there are all sorts of dog clothing available to dress up your dog.
A good reason to dress up your in dog clothing is to protect them from the harmful extremes of temperatures. People assume that just because dogs have a natural furry coat, they are automatically protected from the cold. This is not always the case. Even the thickest dog body coat is penetrable and a dog cannot tell you if he feels cold.
These days, a typical dog clothing line ranges from sweaters to coats to dresses and even pyjamas and booties. Dog Booties can be fleece-lined or waterproof, depending what they are worn for. They can also save your kitchen floor from getting covered in muddy paw prints! You can even find glittery party clothes for your dog or studded leather items for that special occasion.
One thing to bear in mind is that dog clothing should always be safe. The clothes should be streamlined and if you plan to walk your dog after dark, a coat with reflective panels is a good idea.
You can even get life jackets for your boat trips just to be safe in case your dog falls off or is caught in choppy water. Remember, different dog breeds handle water differently and not all dogs are good swimmers. Rain slickers can protect them from harsh rain and hats and caps can protect them from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
