Dog clothes are not only a fashionable accessory for your pet; they can also have more practical benefits, most importantly protection from the elements. Some dogs loved to be dressed up and others hate it but with the variety of dog clothes now available there is no excuse for your pet to be left behind in the fashion stakes.
Dog Coats
If you are looking for dog clothes purely to protect your pet then you are probably considering a dog coat or dog raincoat. These come in a variety of materials including knitted wool or nylon mix to fleecy lined. Dog coats can be purchased that are 100% windproof and waterproof.
Dog Bandanas
Bandanas are a neat idea; mostly for looks but they can protect from the sun. Dog bandanas that are made specifically for dogs have a Velcro clip making it easy to put on and remove.
Dog Backpacks
Dog backpacks do not strictly come under the banner of dog clothes but they are a great idea particularly for those who take long hikes or walks with their pet. Generally fitted with Velcro, these backpacks contain a number of pockets for storing leashes, collars and other pet equipment.
Dog Booties or Boots
Dog booties are another option in dog clothes. They are particularly useful in bitterly cold conditions to protect the tender pads of the dog from the elements.
Reflective Dog Coats
Reflective dog coats or vests ensure that your dog can be seen during those night time walks. When light hits the vest the reflective strips light up making it easier to see your dog.
Life preservers and safety vests
If you do a lot of boating, fishing, or beach activities with your dog then these are ideal. When choosing a life preserver for your pet ensure that you look for those with a top grip handle to allow for easy rescue if your pet has fallen in the water.
Dog Sunglasses
Dog sunglasses are another option and it may appear at first that these are purely a fashion accessory but they are also made to protect your dog’s eyes from the elements. Ensure that if you are considering purchasing this item that you look for sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection.
