Helping your Dog enjoy the Winter

The winter is almost over and that means that it’s the right time to start buying the winter fashions that you loved but couldn’t afford. Those shops are trying to move stock to make room for their spring and summer collections. This is just as true for dog clothes as it is for people clothes. Take a look around and prepare for your doggy’s next bout with Jack Frost.
If you are just looking to make you dog look fashionable then you can get whatever you want but with certain breeds, dog clothes serve a dual purpose. They look god and help your puppy stay warm and dry.

My first dog was a husky breed so I never had any reason to worry about her getting cold. In fact, I hate to worry more about overheating in the summer. She loved the snow and would basically sleep in it. The newest dog in my life is a pit-bull mix and has very short hair with super low body fat. That means that she gets cold very easily and I’m often worried about her getting hypothermia. Some pieces of dog clothes have become essential in our home. The first piece was a parka that a relative bought for her as a joke. The first time I put it on her was the first time I saw her happy in the snow. She was comfortable for the first time and dog boots made all the difference.

Now that I knew they had a reason, I was able to start thinking about designs. I stayed a bit classy with my designer dog clothes and bought everything in forest green and blue. I try to avoid having my clothes match my dog clothes so I chose colors I don’t wear much. I didn’t want to look crazy…
Either way, you should start to plan now so you and your puppy pals are ready for next year’s cold season. You may be surprised how much they learn to love the snow when they aren’t freezing and shivering.
