Types Of Dog Clothing

By Moses Wright

Dog clothing comes in many types and styles that are used for different reasons. Dog clothing may be used for the practical reason of keeping the dog warm or just because the dog owner likes the clothing. Dog clothing can be expensive sweaters and hoodies from designers to affordable handmade sweaters.

The pricing of dog clothing varies as much as the available types of dog clothing. Dog sweaters can be found as cheaply as less than ten dollars while designer dog clothing can cost over one hundred dollars for an article of dog clothing.

The typical design of a dog sweater fits snugly around the neck, front legs, and chest of the dog while the bottom of the sweater lies on the dog's back. Dog sweaters that are sold in pet stores are typically very thin, small pieces of knitted cloth that fit around the dog with strings. Some may have neck and arms holes, but they do not usually resemble regular sweaters like designer and handmade sweaters often do.

Some small, shorthaired dogs may need the extra warmth from a dog sweater. Dog sweaters are often used on other dogs if the dogs are to spend time outdoors in cold weather.

Dog sweaters created by designers tend to be more classic styles. Some classic style dog sweaters are sold through small or home-based businesses, but many have more colorful, whimsical dog sweaters.

Many dog owners enjoy dressing their dogs in dog costumes for Halloween. Fairies, angels, and witches are examples of types of Halloween dog costumes. There are also dog costumes for other holidays.

Some small businesses and designers make dog t-shirts. The majority of dog t-shirts have whimsical decals or prints. Designer dog t-shirts are usually much more expensive than those available through small or home-based businesses.

Many times, dog clothing is only made for small dogs. Small and home-based businesses that offer customized dog clothing may offer to make dog clothing specifically for a larger dog according to the dog's measurements.

Very few dog clothing items are typically available at pet stores. Dog clothing such as sweaters, t-shirts, and hoodies can be found by doing a search on an Internet search engine. Designer dog clothing by Juicy Couture or Ralph Lauren can be found on their websites. - 29895
