Doggy Fashion Statements With Chihuahua Clothing
In the exact same way that you would care for child, why should it be any different for any member of your family whether human or canine? So it’s important to make your lovely little friend feel important and that she matters to you. Of course what we’re talking about here goes above and beyond what many pets owners consider in caring for their dog. While I must admit I am a fashion freak, I really also am getting clothes for my precious to keep her warm, dry and comfortable. And it really is fun to do, plus all the extra attentions she gets from people – she just loves it and so do I. Our little dogs are much more affected by climate and the elements compared to bigger dogs. Especially if they have short-hair coats like a chihuahua, but even the long-haired small dogs too, just because their bodies don’t generate as much heat. So if you live in a wintry climate like I do, you need to keep them warm to prevent not only discomfort but also health problems that might come up.
Doggy jackets, vests, and raincoats are great investments for protecting your small dog. T-shirts are great for the cool weather, and add that fashion kick! T-shirts are also better than nothing in the winter, and also have the advantage of being light weight and pretty comfy on your dog. I also love sweaters to keep her warm, and also clean from any gusty winds that come along and blow trash and dirt around. I just love dressing chihuahuas in clothes.
Sweaters can really stretch out so make sure the fit is good, so his leg doesn’t get stuck or he trips. You can even go hip-hop or skater with little hoodies. These sweatshirts range from lightweight to hefty, so there’s a wide variety to choose from for different climates.
Plus, they cover the legs, body and head. And they’re so darn cute in them! On those wet rainy New York days, I love the raincoats to keep my chihuahua dry. You can even get a cute little rain hat if you want, or just use the hood to protect from the rain, sleet or wet snow too. Whatever you choose to dress your dog in, make sure if fits both or your personalities and tastes. I also love the graphic tee’s that are really cute and have sayings on them. Especially for the female chihuahuas like mine, getting a shirt or two with little stones or girly designs are so amazingly cute. To die for! Of course I make sure they are comfortable too.
For the male small dogs, of course anything “manly” would work for chihuahua dog clothing, but you might want to try that metro sexual look on your dog and really go fashionable with it. One really important thing to mention is that once you get new sets of clothes for your dog, to practice putting them on and taking them off to make sure they fit well, and are easy to manage.
This way you can both get used to it, and the new clothes as well. Happy dressing!
