Dog Dressing

Is there anything more precious than a Chihuahua’s tiny face peeking out from a warm hoodie? Because they are so small, toy breeds look adorable wearing sassy sweaters and stylish coats. Dressing dogs in cute clothes is undeniably fun and fashionable, but many small breed dogs are vulnerable to cold weather and actually need those dog clothes to keep them warm.

Why Dress Your Chihuahua?

The Chihuahua breed, originating in the warm climate of Mexico, developed the ability to dissipate heat easily. Those big ears work much the same as a jack rabbit’s ears do in helping to reduce body heat. Their ears are a major source of heat loss. As a result, they do not tolerate cool temperatures very well and shiver from cold whenever the mercury drops just a bit. Other Toy Breeds need protection from the cold simply because of their smaller body mass.

Dog Clothes Designs

Pet specialty stores, supermarts, and online businesses offer just about anything dog owners could want to keep their small breed dog warm and stylish. Prices range from $5 outfits to elaborate garments tagged for hundreds. Knit sweaters come in turtlenecks or regular necklines and short sleeves to longer sleeves. Sweatshirts fit comfortably with their soft material and the popular hoodie helps protect those Chihuahua ears. Heavier coats, insulated with fleece lining, and bootees, as well as raincoats, are available for those longer trips into the snowy bathroom.
