This blog is dedicated to all of our furry friends.Thursday, January 31, 2008 Dogs Feel the Chill, Too- CLICK HERE! It is the end of January, and the winter weather is still as cold as ever. Most people feel that a pet sweater or coat is a silly fashion statement. What people do not realize is that many dogs need to wear a sweater or coat in cold weather for protection, the same way you wear a coat for protection. Shorthaired breeds, small breeds, older dogs, puppies and ill dogs should wear a sweater or coat for protection in cold weather. The Sueded Patch Dog Sweater to the right, with its faux suede trim on the collar, shoulder patches and a pocket on the back is a good example of a good looking and warm sweater. This sweater is manufactured by Ethical Fashion Pet, a division of Ethical Products, Inc. They manufacture stylish and functional pet clothes, including sweaters, coats, pajamas and dresses. Ok...the dresses are purely a fashion accessory, but I bet your pet could use pajamas on a cold winter's night. It is important to purchase a sweater that covers your dog's stomach and lets its legs move freely. The next step is getting your pet accustomed to wearing a sweater. Any pet can get used to a sweater. You should let your pet sniff the sweater before you put it on him. Put the sweater on for only a few minutes the first time, gradually increasing the time. Play with him while he wears the sweater to prevent him from being distracted by the sweater. Your extra attention and praise will let your pooch know how good YOU think he looks. The next time you take your pet for a winter walk or let him out at night to do his business, remember if your are cold, he is too! Stay Warm! Think Spring!
