welcome to this blog about
clothes for
dogs !
Who would have thought, say two decades earlier, that this topic
would grow out of pure fashion to become a real society phenomenon
? But make no mistake : I will propose here that clothes for dogs
are in no way a crazy idea for people who don’t know what to do
with their money.
At first, I have been living long enough to notice big changes in
our ways of life, especially within the last twenty years. Did you
know that chemistry was almost non existent before world war two ?
This is one of the indirect reasons why our four legs best friends
need clothes.
Indeed, this is not a natural world anymore, especially if you
happen to live in cities. Many chemical components are included in
products that we don’t care much of, because we are wearing shoes :
washing liquids and anti freezing liquids to name two of them.
Would you like to go barefoot on splashes from those ? Sure you
would not. See, suddenly, boots for dogs are not a weird idea
anymore...
When you think about dogs, numerous modern owners own small dogs.
Chihuahuas, Yorkies and other small breeds are very commonplace in
big cities, for the very reason that living in apartments suit
those dogs very well. The thing is some of these small size breeds
were born out of crossings. And some of them are not naturally cold
proof. So when winter comes, you simply cannot take the dog out for
a walk if it does not wear some warm coat or rain coat. Period.
Unless you love the vet and like to give money away to treat dog
illnesses that could have been easily avoided.
Another thing to consider is a bunch of accessories that are often
times categorized as clothes for dogs, or to put it better,
complement clothes for dogs. They are all sorts of leashes,
collars, jackets. For example, dog shock collars are a big hit
among owners, especially the electronic ones. Here technology
combined with the expertise of dog trainers have come up with a
fantastic educational tool. As for dog life jacket, many do
consider the idea ludicrous, arguing a dog can swim. Many more do
get their dogs life jackets, for they have witnessed maybe only one
drama when dogs were unable to swim in unfriendly water, or owners
drowning while trying to rescue their endangered dogs.
In closing this overall tour, there are the great funny shirts for
dogs that carry humorous messages that only a dog could safely say,
for example “I took this human out for a walk”. Even those can be
fun and useful in the same time, for example for dogs that have a
tendency to lose their hair a lot (in a natural way).
So with all that being said, happy reading of the clothes for dogs
blog !
