What Kind of Dogs Are Not Suitable for Wearing Clothes
Yorkshire Terrier (Detailed Introduction)
With the changes of the times, many pet owners’ ways of thinking are generally hard for ordinary people to understand. People expose their flesh like animals, and animals wear clothes like people. Actually, dressing dogs also requires a lot of consideration. So, can all dogs wear clothes? Let me tell you what kind of dogs are not suitable for wearing clothes.
1. Dogs with irritable temperaments:
When dressed, these dogs show very excited emotions, jumping around wildly, trying to run away and hide. Once the clothes are on, they focus entirely on trying to get the clothes off by biting the decorations or sleeves with their mouths.
My suggestion: For dogs that like to bite clothes, it is better not to dress them—save the money.
2. Dogs that stop moving after wearing clothes:
Some dogs freeze in whatever position they were when dressed, staying motionless as if stiff. Perhaps they feel the clothes restrict their freedom and are uncomfortable. In such cases, it’s better not to dress them.
3. Dogs with skin diseases or that often scratch themselves:
Dogs that have itchy skin or frequently scratch here and there tend to scratch even more fiercely after wearing clothes. Scratching through the clothes not only does not relieve the itch but can easily damage the clothes. Dog claws can be very destructive, especially to silk clothes like traditional Chinese outfits, which are quite expensive and can be ruined quickly. It’s a waste; it’s better to buy some tasty treats instead.
4. Long-haired dogs:
If you are a diligent owner and you raise long-haired dogs such as Yorkshire Terriers or Shih Tzus, and don’t mind dressing up your dog, that’s fine. But if you only occasionally groom and clean your dog, I suggest you save yourself the trouble. No matter how beautiful the outfit looks, the dog’s fur will be a mess once the clothes come off. Long-haired dogs are prone to matting when dressed, which not only looks bad but also easily causes skin diseases.
