When it come to gifting clothes, one always confused and is fraught with peril. We all have stories to tell, my grandmother always purchased 3 or 4 sizes too big so we could “grow into them. So, we wore our baggy clothes, with the sleeves and pant legs rolled up, until we were finally big enough to wear them with dignity. By which time they were ready for donation. If you must give clothes this season, there’s one giftee on your list who’s sure to look great in any outfit you buy him. He’ll wear your gift with pride and appreciation; head held high and tail wagging.
Your right, it’s your dog or your friend’s dog. Dogs love attention from you. So, Spike will wear his outfit - whether it’s cute or ridiculous - as soon as he sees how happy it makes his owner. Spot will eat up all that extra attention he gets from strangers. And Butch might even want to Vogue for the camera.
There is quiet a bit similarity between shopping clothes for dogs and shopping clothes for babies. Unless you’re going for practicality, cuteness is what counts. And that is done easily, given that any dog wearing clothes looks pretty cute. There are so many choices in dog clothes from winter sweaters to football jerseys and summer tees. You can get a set of sweet sleep pajamas for bedtime or a terry robe for after bath. There’s even an entire line of Happy tails Cowboy or Cowgirl costume for dogs, complete with leather cap and collar. Dog costumes made for parties and holidays are just too cute for words.
Also you can choose from different accessories available, these include a designer dog collar and maybe a cool pair of sunglasses, they make them just for dogs. Also on the list are Dog necklaces and Dog hats. Making the baby look silly might be a no-no, but its fun when it comes to dressing up a dog. There are some really creative doggie costumes out there that are good for a chuckle or two. There are really only a couple of rules you’ll need to keep in mind when shopping for dog clothes:
One is if the dog is an avid chewer, you should avoid buying him anything tempting. Shiny buttons, fringe, and feathers are examples that come to mind. An object that can easily be chewed off and swallowed is a choking hazard and can get stuck in the dog’s digestive tract. The second is that any dog, no matter how tolerant, will be more comfortable wearing clothes that fit. Proper fit typically requires measuring from the dog’s collar to the base of her tail for length. Most garments’ girth can be adjusted with Velcro tabs, but could still be an issue with a barrel-chested breed such as a bulldog. Measurements are typically in inches.
If you’re shopping for your own dog, you’re all set. But if you’re buying clothes for someone else’s dog, then I’ve got a few more tips to share with you. Surveys conducted on the subject of gift preferences of men and women have shown that men prefer gifts that are more playful or practical. So, if the dog’s owner is male this might translate into a doggie Happy tails Cowboy/Cowgirl Costume, a funny costume, or a dog sweater. Women, on the other hand, prefer gifts that are beautiful, memorable, and personal. It shouldn’t be hard to find an item of clothing for a woman’s dog that’s either beautiful or memorable or both, and it will of course be personal! All these dog clothes and accessories are available online at right price right now.
