Are Dog Coats Really Necessary

By Sabastian Cruzz


Have you ever thought of buying dog coats for your canine friend? Some pet owners may find this too frivolous, but a growing number of them think that these dog clothes are more of a necessity than a luxury. There are many pet stores now selling these clothes and they are making good business these days. These dog gears are not only popular because of their designs, but also because they protect your pet from the bitter cold.

Jackets for your dog can be weatherproof which could protect your pet from the rain, as well. Match these with trendy boots and you don't have to worry about your pet dragging mud into your house after a long walk. There are rain jackets that are matched with hoodies that could protect your dog from getting a cold after being out in the rain.

Vests are often given to working dogs to signify that they are on-the-job. Some are assisting persons with disabilities or could be working as a canine for the police department. There are also some pet owners who just adore donning costumes on their pets. They would even make them wear the same outfit as them to make people know that their dog is a member of their family. Although it's true that there are pet lovers who buy these coats for frivolity, many also buy them as functional gears for their pets.

You would find a lot of styles available, such as a full-gear sweater for very cold weathers or a half-pullover dog shirt for warm days. If your dog has sensitive skin, you may want to look for gears made of hypo-allergenic materials. There are also clothes made of environmentally friendly fabrics, if you want to be eco-conscious about your choice.

The style that you choose for your pet could still be trendy while at the same time practical. Make sure that the one you choose would not hurt your dog, meaning avoid those with zippers that could catch your dog's skin or hair. Keep in mind that comfort ranks first, so buy a style that would not make your dog feel uncomfortable.

There are shops that sell canine clothes made for special breeds such as bulldogs, Great Danes, greyhounds and dachshunds. Choose the right color that will complement your dog's mane or skin tone. Have fun making choosing the design and imagining how adorable your pet would look in them.

So where do you start looking for dog coats? Try your local pet store or ask your breeder to recommend a good shop. Better yet, check websites and find one that has several options you could choose from. Your pet would surely love to look at himself in the mirror after you buy him some new clothes!
