Designer Dog Clothing

Some people might scoff at the idea of buying designer dog clothing for their pets. They make think that dog's don't need clothes because nature has already given them a coat of fur. Well, while it is true that most dogs have fur to protect them, that doesn't mean designer dog clothing is a waste of money. It provides style while protecting the dog from the elements.
Consider a common piece of designer dog clothing...the doggy sweater. Sure, if it's Christmas-time, an appropriately-themed sweater will make your dog stand out. But there is a practical side to all of this, especially for furless dogs, or short-haired dogs. With a doggy sweater, the animal will keep warm even if there's snow on the ground. And this is important because like humans, dogs can get frostbitten during cold weather.
If you feel a doggy sweater isn't enough to keep your furry friend warm, consider getting a coat... another sought-after piece of designer dog clothes. Doggy coats look just like traditional coats, except they are tailored for canine wear.
So, if you want your female dog to feel like a canine diva, why not grace her with a coat made of fur? And for male dogs, there's the Harley Davidson jacket. There are also year-round doggy coats that are designed for both genders.
Now, what does a person do if they are on the other end of the spectrum... they want to dress up their dog for a special occasion? In these instances, they will need to decide what type of designer dog clothing they will need. For female dogs, there is the option of getting a feminine doggy shirt, or even better, a doggy dress. The style of these dresses looks similar to kids' dresses, though there are a few that sport spunkier designs.
For male dogs, there are Hawaiian shirts, tuxedos and even military fatigues. You can also get denim overalls, which tend to be unisex in nature.
Sound interesting? Well, before you order designer dog apparel, you must measure your dog to make sure you get the right size. To do this, you will have to measure their neck and their chest. You can use a tape measure or a piece of yarn... just make sure that when everything is finished, the measurements are expressed in inches.
Anyway, once you have your measurements, you will want to use a sizing chart to determine how big your dog's clothes need to be. Most stores selling designer dog clothing will have these charts on hand.
