Many owners like to dress their dogs, making them look handsome and beautiful. In summer, they wear vests, and in winter, down jackets. Actually, a dog's thick fur is their "clothes," and different dogs have different "styles and colors" of fur. Should dogs wear clothes? Will dogs be cold in winter? Actually, dressing dogs has both advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a look~

Dogs

　　1. Advantages

　　1. To protect dogs from the cold and keep them warm, driving away the winter chill. Many pet dogs have fine and short fur with poor cold resistance, as well as thin, weak, old, or ill dogs with low immunity. These dogs need to wear a cold-proof coat over their fur during winter to preserve their remaining warmth.

　　2. When dogs exercise, their fur and paws can easily get dirty. Wearing clothes can effectively block dirt from contacting the dog's skin and fur, helping keep the dog clean for a long time, which is beneficial for their health.

　　3. Dog fur easily picks up bacteria from the air or grass, creating a breeding ground for germs. Dressing dogs helps prevent bacteria from invading their skin and fur.

　　2. Disadvantages

　　  1. For long-haired dogs, wearing clothes can cause fur matting, making it troublesome and difficult for owners to groom their pets.

　　2. Clothes rubbing against the skin might cause skin diseases, allergies, itching, peeling, and other serious issues. Additionally, clothing seams may restrict the dog's movement or cause skin abrasions.

　　The New Year is approaching. If owners want to dress their dogs, it is best to choose vest-like clothes that only cover the torso, and ensure the clothes are loose and comfortable. This way, dogs will not only look good but also feel comfortable without any side effects.
