Stylish Dog Clothes
for small dogs
No matter what kind of outfit you want to create for your favourite fur friend, stylish dog clothes MUST be washable. There is not a pet in the world that wants to don a dirty slicker or coat!
Your best bet for easy cleaning is something that can withstand lots of washing without shrinking! Just like we look for comfortable human clothing, you should look for fabrics with something washable, like polyester, in them. Any website that offers stylish dog clothes will have a variety of these from which to choose and most will provide the fabric content right alongside the price. If not, ask!
Prices for truly stylish dog clothes might astonish you. Many are the dollars you could save if you were a bit handy with sewing machine or needle and thread. Consider heading for your local dry goods store and looking up patterns for dog clothing. You might be astonished at the variety available!
Beware of the sequined coats or anything that your friend might find interesting to chew on with hazardous result. Just like a child, make sure you are not providing a choking hazard on whichever stylish dog clothes you select. You know your pet best. If buttons are something to be attacked with glee, omit them! If flashes of glitter on the side of a sweater are teeth targets, don't get it.
A better closure method than buttons or snaps is velcro. This self-sticking closure fabric will allow stylish dog clothes to be made adjustable for those pets for whom weight loss and gain are a constant battle. Additionally, you do not have to worry about buttons or snaps being chewed off and eaten -- or even worse -- on which your pet could choke!
And don't forget the necessity for a slit at the back for a leash. Any provider of stylish dog clothes will have remembered to include a place for the harness or leash attachment to come through, but it needs to be kept in mind if you are making these wearable items yourself.
One final suggestion is to take a look at the websites available through any internet browser. Just put in the words "stylish dog clothes" and you will be on your way to viewing a number of sites with all the clothes your pet could ever want. Remember that unless your pet is happy to wear what you provide, YOU will be the loser--and we wouldn't want that!
