Hello! You are on my channel, thank you for reading it! Every positive comment will warm my heart. The article is subjective and expresses the personal opinion of the author.
Fashion dictates its own rules. Fur collars, belts decorated with rhinestones, dresses on the floor and fancy hats - these days it is a privilege not only for stylish women, but also for their four-legged favorites.
A wide assortment of clothes for dogs is presented in stores, but before you run for the next new thing for your pet, you should consider whether it is necessary for him or it will please only the owner, and cause the animal discomfort.
Without a doubt, winter clothes are necessary for representatives of many breeds. Small short-haired dogs, for example, Yorkshire terriers, Chihuahua, will not be able to go out into the fresh air even with a slight drop in temperature and windy weather, as this is fraught with colds and more serious illnesses up to pneumonia.
Warm clothes for dogs
Fortunately, in pet stores you can pick up a warm jumpsuit that will protect against frost. It is better to choose a one-piece jumpsuit with long sleeves and a high collar with clamps. The hood in this case is not very functional - it is impossible to fasten it so that it protects from the wind and does not cause animal inconvenience; dogs are often nervous, trying to remove it, since it closes the review, and the walk no longer brings pleasure to either the animal or the owner. It is better to protect the head in addition with a knitted hat matching the color of the jumpsuit.
Autumn and spring are also not always pleasing with suitable weather. Rains, mud, slush - and the dog has to bathe after each walk, and this can not but adversely affect the quality of the coat. In the case, raincoats from waterproof material will be saved, which are better to have several in the wardrobe. They are easy to wash, easy to put on, and the pet will remain dry and clean, but only if the clothes are actually made of non-wet material.
In the store you need to carefully check the quality of the seams - they must be glued with a special glue that will prevent water from entering the overalls. It is better if the fasteners are located on the stomach, and at the bottom of the sleeves there are elastic bands with clamps to close the dog as much as possible from water and dirt.
Shoes for dogs
Special attention should be paid to shoes for dogs. It is quite difficult to pick up, but in some cases it is simply necessary. For example, in winter, paw pads should be protected from overcooling and from chemicals that are sprinkled on the tracks to clear them of snow and ice. Such shoes should be on a strong, but bendable sole, with insulation and reliable fasteners.
It is most convenient to fasten boots with elastic bands with clamps, since the Velcro quickly deteriorates when dirt and dust get in, the laces will have to be tied for a very long time, and it’s difficult to adjust the size in shoes with buttons. Autumn rubber boots, which are available from many manufacturers, will protect the paws from slush. They are easy to put on and convenient to wash, but they must be waterproof and high enough so that water does not flow from above.
So, many dogs need clothes. What to do if an animal refuses to wear a suit it has just purchased? This issue should be approached without haste, gradually accustoming the pet to clothes. First, it is recommended to put on a lightweight comfortable T-shirt or T-shirt, which will not hinder movements, over time the dog will get used to it, and then you can try to put on a light raincoat from a fabric that does not stretch.
Some owners note that their pets strive to take off their clothes at home, and on a walk they are distracted by games and communication and forget about the inconvenience. However, if the dog already has clothes in the wardrobe, to which she relates calmly, and only one certain thing causes discomfort, it is better to return it back to the store and not take suits without trying on.
