Dressing dogs in beautiful outfits to take them out or take photos to show online definitely attracts a lot of attention. Increasingly, owners like to dress their dogs in gorgeous clothes, making them look pretty, but actually not all dogs are suitable for wearing clothes. Here, the editor will tell you which dogs are suitable for clothes and which dogs are not.

　　1. Dogs Not Suitable for Wearing Clothes

　　1. Long-Haired Dogs Don’t Need Clothes

　　Dogs are not animals that are very afraid of the cold; most dogs have sufficient body surface protection to withstand winter cold. Some dogs have very long and thick fur, like many shepherd dogs, long-haired dogs, or sled dogs. Not only is their fur thick, but they also grow a dense undercoat in winter.

　　2. Dogs That Easily Get Fat Don’t Need Clothes

　　Dogs that easily gain weight, such as pugs, bulldogs, and short-haired dachshunds, especially in winter, don’t necessarily need clothes; their body fat is enough. Sometimes dressing such dogs affects their movement.

　　3. Strong Dogs Don’t Need Clothes

　　Dogs with very strong bodies, such as Labradors, Great Danes, and Rottweilers, do not need clothes for cold resistance in winter because they are strong and excessive protection may reduce their resistance.

　　4. Dogs with Bad Temperament Are Unsuitable

　　Dogs that get excited, jump around, try to escape and hide when wearing clothes, focus all their energy on taking the clothes off, and bite the decorations or sleeves of the clothing with their mouth should not be dressed.

　　5. Dogs with Skin Diseases

　　Dogs that scratch frequently due to itchy skin will scratch even more once dressed, which does not relieve itching and easily tears the clothes.

　　2. Dogs Suitable for Wearing Clothes

　　1. Tiny Dogs Need Clothes

　　Although most dogs are not afraid of the cold, some breeds born as pets have a weak physique. The most obvious example is the Chihuahua. This tiny dog is very small and slim and lacks thick fur protection, so dressing such dogs is very beneficial for them.

　　2. Weak and Frail Dogs Can Wear Clothes

　　If the dog is weak, short-haired, and has poor constitution, it is best to consider buying a few small clothes to protect them from the cold.
