Today we bring you general guidelines and tips that will make your dog feel good, want to wear the clothes without any problem, and not be stressed while wearing dog clothes. What do you need to know? We talk more about the topic in the sequel, so let’s see the most important things. Let’s get started!
Always keep in mind the temperament of the breed you are keeping as not every breed likes to have clothes on them.
The first thing you should always keep in mind when it comes to dogs is that not every dog likes to wear clothes.
For example, calm breeds that typically calmly accept any change would have no problem being bought clothes to wear, but already more temperamental and larger dog breeds would be very nervous and would look for a way to get rid of the clothes.
That’s why it’s important to know the breed, more specifically to know your dog if likes and accepts the changes, or if you still need to be prepared for the behavior that will follow after wearing the clothes.
Take into account the width and length of the dog so that you do not take clothes that will be too small or too tight.
You must measure your dog before purchasing any clothing. However, not every piece of clothing is ideal for dogs, so you need to know the exact length and width of your dog to choose the right piece.
Tight clothing can easily make your dog nervous and can also create pain that can make him aggressive. So don’t buy clothes just like that. First, make sure that the clothes will be suitable for him, and then buy the favorite model that you have been measuring for your furry friend for a long time.
You should always keep in mind that only clothes made of natural materials are good for dogs.
Many times pet owners opt for specially designed clothes that look adorable without checking the composition of the clothes. T-shirts, jackets, and all other similar textile pieces that are made of materials that are artificially created, ie not made of natural materials, are harmful to your pet.
Why? Because they can cause irritation, fur loss, too much heat that is unbearable for the dog, and similar conditions that would be very difficult for the pet.
That is why it is best to take clothes that are composed exclusively of cotton, i.e. of at least 80% cotton, for the dog’s fur to breathe, and thus the skin, and for the dog not to be uncomfortable while wearing that textile piece.
Keep in mind that it is necessary to choose bright colors that will not attract sunlight.
When it comes to choosing colors, we know that every owner has a certain idea of what color the pet’s clothes should be, but it is still necessary to look at the clothes a little differently.
It is important to choose clothes that will not be of dark colors that easily attract the sun’s rays. It is important to choose light colors such as white, gray, green, yellow, lavender purple, and similar colors that will not attract sunlight.
In this way, you will additionally help the pet not to be hot, but above all to prevent irritation and itching from the cold weather.
Always choose pieces of dog clothes that are not too expensive because of course after a certain period you will have to buy new ones.
Never spend too much money on clothes for your dog! It is important to get in order with this expense, that is, to start spending much less on clothes for the dog. You can buy something new regularly, but make sure that it is not branded and too expensive because that way you will incur unnecessary expenses.
Of course, it is important to buy clothes for the dog, but cheaper clothes. The reason for this advice is that dogs first of all easily stain clothes, and then tear and destroy them easily, so it will be necessary to buy clothes very often, which are likely to be damaged in a short time.
