Despite the fact that the dog by nature has more or less, depending on the breed, thick and warm coat, in cold seasons and in bad weather, the dog needs to be additionally dressed for a walk. Waterproof overalls and boots will help keep the dog clean during the spring and autumn slush, and a warm overalls will help keep the dog warm in the winter frosts. Today, dog clothes carry not only practical, but also aesthetic meaning - especially when it comes to small and decorative breeds. Often, owners dress up their pets just for beauty, for exhibitions and walks. Decorative clothes are different from practical ones, and in this article we will show you how to dress your dog properly.
Instructions
Step 1
Clothes for the dog must be chosen differently for each season. Every dog's wardrobe must have a comfortable and waterproof jumpsuit that completely covers the back, stomach and paws.
Step 2
It is better to have in stock both a simple jumpsuit that protects the dog from dirt, rain and wind, and insulated, for winter frosts. Warm overalls are especially relevant for short-haired dogs that do not have a thick undercoat.
Step 3
When choosing a jumpsuit, pay attention to the quality and strength of the seams, as well as its cut. The overalls should be comfortable, the dog should move freely in it, and also it should not interfere with the administration of the natural needs of the dog. Also, the material from which the jumpsuit is sewn must withstand frequent washing - you will have to wash the jumpsuit after each walk.
Step 4
For the warm season, most dogs do not need clothes, but owners often dress up decorative dogs in lightweight overalls and beauty costumes.
Step 5
Dressing your dog during the mid-season is very important if you want to maintain its health, prevent colds, various inflammations and other diseases.
Step 6
For a very small puppy who is constantly growing, it makes no sense to buy clothes in the store - it is expensive, and the puppy will grow out of every new thing a month after its purchase. Make clothes for puppies yourself - it's not that difficult.
Step 7
Do not forget about shoes for dogs - boots protect dogs' paws from reagents, snow and dirt, as well as from debris and sharp objects that lie on the ground and can injure them. Dog shoes can be bought at the store, or you can make your own.
Step 8
You need to train your dog to shoes and clothes from the first months of life - this way you will save yourself from further problems caused by the dog's unwillingness to dress for a walk. Start shoe training with thin, soft boots that will not hinder its movement. After a while, the dog will get used to clothes and shoes, and will not notice them on himself.
