Dog Winter Jacket, Dog Apparel
When you go shopping for dog winter apparel, it's a good idea to plan ahead and buy a variety of outfits that will be suited for any occasion. As a loving dog owner, you'll want to make sure you're prepared for most any situation. You'll want to take that extra step to keep your special friend warm when the weather is cold or even a little chilly.
With all the styles and materials available today, it can be a little difficult figuring out which ones will be the best suited for your dog. One of the biggest factors that you'll need to take into consideration is where you live. Some areas get extremely cold and stay that way for months, while others only have a few weeks of cold weather.
This will be the deciding factor in which types of materials you should purchase when buying winter apparel for your dog and how many outfits you should get in each type.
Dog Jacket
There are a lot of dog jackets on the market these days, some of them built a bit better than others, while some are high quality and just aren't marketed all that well. This could mean the difference between you buying a dog jacket that is going to last your furry friend more than one year, or if he or she is going to be busting through the seams after wearing the jacket just a few times.
It does happen, especially if your dog is of the more active type, and likes to run, jump, and play while they are in their jacket. This causes wear and tear quickly, and if you aren't putting a quality jacket on them, they are gonna bust through it.
If you are a boater and take your dog with you out on the water, you are probably going to want to invest some money in a dog life jacket just in case the unfortunate ever happened, throwing your dog from the boat.
An accident like this could leave your dog unconscious if they are thrown from the boat hard enough, and having a good dog life jacket on them will help them stay afloat until you can get to their side to help them out. Making the small investment to protect your pooch up front will save you a lot of heartache should the unthinkable ever happen. It is hard to imagine that something like this is possible, but just being prepared for it is your safest bet.
Dog Coats for Winter
Some people like to dress their dogs all year-round as more of a fashion statement than anything else. specially made dog coats for winter on the other hand serve a different purpose. They're not just for fashion they actually keep your dog warm and protect it against the cold during the long winter months.
Don't be fooled into thinking that dogs don't feel the cold just because they have fur. In really cold conditions though any animal feels the cold unless it is something like a polar bear that lives in the cold all the time. Pet dogs on the other hand spend most of their time curled up in front of the fire.
Dog coats for winter serve a real purpose and are necessary if you live somewhere that is cold for only a few months each year. There are many different types to choose from and while some of them are fleece lined or thermal, you don't really need to break the bank when buying one.
A normal winter dog coat will do the job perfectly well as long as it fits your dog. Make sure you buy one which is specifically suited to your breed of dog. If it fits well and keeps the cold off of the dogs back it will be doing it's job.
Dog Clothes
Dog clothing is extremely hot this season. One can't help noticing the rise in celebrities with fashionable small dogs at their side. With a sea of dog clothes, it's hard to know what dog clothes are in and what dog clothes, as Hillary Duff's Dachshund would say, are "so yesterday". Legally Blonde's Chihuahua, Bruiser, set the standard in dog fashion while dogs like Paris Hilton's dog, Tinkerbell, keeps raising the bar higher and higher. I think their is an important fact to remember when dressing up your dog this season. Let your dog be a dog. As much as it makes us happy to dress them up, we have to make sure the dog clothes are functional and keep their best interest at heart. That said, here are the must haves for any pampered pooches closet.
Every small dog must have a small dog sweater this season. They are functional in that they keep the tiny and toy breeds warm, like Chihuahuas and miniature Pinsher yet fashionable as they showcase your dog's explosive personality. Dog Sweaters are mostly hand made and come in a plethora of variations. Just pick a small dog sweater that says who your little precious dog is and you can't go wrong. A holiday dog sweater is a must have this season. This year let your dog "deck the halls" in a Christmas tree dog sweater or a solid red or green small dog sweater.
