Dog Clothes to Keep Your Dog Warm

Now that Fall is upon us, visit www.dogclothes-apparel.com for a wide selection of dog coats, sweaters, and dog hoodies to keep our short-coated friends warm. Dog clothes not only make your dog fabulous, they also serve a practical purpose for the health and well being of your pampered pup.

When it comes to weather and temperature fluctuations, one must be mindful of our smaller and shorter-furred friends. Small dogs often lack the mass to maintain a steady body temperature and shorter-coated breeds have less insulating fur causing them to catch a chill more rapidly. In winter, wind gusting at ground level picks up moisture. Once damp or wet, fur loses it's ability to insulate causing your small dog's temperature to drop. For longer-coated dogs, regular brushing helps prevent matted fur caused by wet weather and stimulates oils which keep your dog's skin moisturized.

Dog clothes, such as sweaters, coats, and tees offer your pet various degrees of protection from the elements, as do shoes and boots for truly inclement weather. Not only will your dog be ready for his or her close-up, but dog clothes will keep your dog, large or small, warm and well year round.
