Do you dress your dogs? I have three dogs and would never do this. I think it looks ridiculous. Small baldish dogs like chihuahuas should stay on warmer climates. Otherwise, dogs have their own clothes already installed. They aren't dolls. Do you dress your dog? Does your dog like this?

I put a reflective jacket on my dog when I walk her at night, thats about it... Then again she is a Labrador so I cudn't really dress her up even if I wanted to...

Ya it's really good. I recommend anyone to get one. They are really thin and made of nearly the same material human high-vis jackets are, so dhe doesn't sweat either.
There is no way I cud fit a tutu around her waist though! She's massive, she has artheritis so we can't walk her on the road or she limps, so we have to just let her walk around a field near our house and she doesn't get that much excercise except for the weekends when we can drive to woods nearby... And because of that she gains wait by the hour... and she's such a savage!!

I have a large dog and I don't think she'd be very impressed if I tried puttingg doggy clothes on her!!
I too think it looks absolutely ridiculous putting clothes on dogs! They have their own fur to keep them warm!
I treat my dog as one of the family... but buying her own wardrobe is taking it a bit far! LOL

I tried dressing up Moochie with a cute jacket because that time, the weather was pretty cold. A few hours later he bit his jacket destroying it. I guess he is not comfortable and would rather go naked. He hates collar too. It could have been better if he's got a collar just to give hin an identity but he just hates it.

lol My dog hates to have anything but his collar on him. He does tolerate dog boots but I think it's because he doesn't want muddy feet that end up getting washed before he is allowed in the house. He doesn't like bathes either. lol

The most I do is when they go to the groomers and they put the little bandanas on them. Its cute and my boys actually like it. This one time they put bows on their ears and I flipped out - Patches and Ringo were so happy to get those things off! Other than a collar, I have a little bone that lights up that I attach to their collars when I let them out in the pasture at night so I can see where they are. No clothes though, I think they would pee on me!
