How to Pick the Perfect Clothes for Your Dog? There are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing clothes for your dog.
People who have raised dogs know that small dogs are only very afraid of the cold and are particularly prone to getting sick.
For example, small dogs like Chihuahuas have poor digestive systems and it is difficult to recover from freezing.
It’s basically waiting to go to the pet hospital to spend money, so it’s very necessary to buy clothes for such a little dog.
Below, I will briefly introduce how to choose suitable clothes for dogs.
1. Dogs that need to wear clothes:
small dogs, puppies, such as Chihuahuas, teacup teddies, and so on. Dogs that do not require clothing: Huskies, Samoyes, Alaska and other cold resistant dogs, as well as adult large dogs.
2. How to choose between two legged clothes and four legged clothes?
Two legged clothes tend to be decorative, beautifying, and easy to wear, but their warmth is not as good as four legged clothes, and their prices are relatively low. Four legged clothes are relatively warm and especially suitable for colder winters, but they are inconvenient to wear and also relatively expensive. (Note for measuring dogs: Two legged clothing is based on chest circumference, while four legged clothing is based on back length.)
3. Dogs are generally very obedient, and most dogs shake their heads and tails when they put on clothes.
Some dogs dislike clothes very much. If the dog shows signs of boredom, the owner should start checking to see if the size is inappropriate or too heavy, and to see if the clothes have an unpleasant odor.
Every dog owner wants to dress up their dog beautifully and neatly, not only for regular grooming, but also to buy cute and warm clothes at the mall. However, when buying clothes for them, these points should still be noted.
Firstly, which dogs are not suitable for wearing clothes?
1. A dog with a very impatient temper.
After putting on the clothes for the dogs, if their emotions are very excited, they jump around, run around, and finally hide. After putting on the clothes, they are constantly trying to take them off, and when they keep tearing at the clothes with their mouths, we should not put them on clothes anymore.
2. A dog that remains motionless after putting on clothes.
Some dogs immediately freeze when they put on clothes, what posture they take when putting on clothes, and what posture they take after putting on clothes, as if they are frozen and sitting there motionless, then the dog feels that putting on clothes restricts its freedom and feels very uncomfortable.
3. Dogs who suffer from skin diseases and often scratch.
After a dog suffers from skin diseases, its skin becomes very itchy, or it likes to scratch its body when it’s free. After putting on clothes, a dog may feel stuffy on its skin and unable to catch any bad areas. After putting on clothes, it will scratch even harder, making it easy for the dog to scratch through the clothes and damage them.
Some types of dogs that need to be kept warm:
1. A dog with a very weak physique.
For example, muscle dolls, Pomeranians, and mini Durbins are very small and thin. Dogs with very low fat need to wear more to keep warm. They don’t have long hair or thick fat, so remember to keep them warm. If it is a dog with good physical fitness and long fur, such as a Shih Tzu or an octopus, it does not need to wear clothes.
2. A dog that is very young or very old.
Very young dogs are very afraid of the cold, and their resistance will be relatively weak. Older dogs will gradually decrease their mobility, body regulation ability, and resistance, and their body’s warmth retention ability will also deteriorate. Owners must take more care of them.
3. The mother dog after giving birth.
The newly produced dogs have not recovered their physical strength and various skills, so everyone must be careful when taking care of them. Not only should they pay attention to nutrition, but they also need to be careful not to catch a cold.
Dressing tip:
Remember not to let your dog wear clothes for a long time. When taking them out to play, you can wear clothes and take them off when you come back.
Please make sure to use pure cotton as the material of your dog’s clothes as much as possible to avoid skin allergies and reduce static electricity. Dogs need their clothes to fit well, and if they don’t fit well, they will also feel very uncomfortable wearing them.
