Welcome to small buddys In this article you will learn about the dog clothes (specifically for puppies or small dogs) that are in fashion today. Keep in mind that all the clothes that I am going to recommend you I have tried with my Yorkshire dog and the occasional puppy of my friends.
You will find both casual clothes and exclusive designs (haute couture), both for all times of the year and of course, some additional accessories that I am sure you will like. Without further ado, let's get started.
The discussion about whether or not to put clothes on our doggy will always exist, so let me give you some reasons why you should do it. And don't worry, I promise your best friend will be safe and happy.
Protect them from excessive cold and icy breezes at some times of the year (especially in small dogs with little hair)
Take care of sudden changes in temperature and the shedding of hair that this implies (in addition to keeping your house free of hair)
Avoid rubbing or wounds when taking him out for a walk, especially if he is very restless (with clothes on they are less prone to contracting parasites, allergens or bacteria in the wounds)
To make a spectacular photo session and be able to show it off with your friends and followers
And because they also need to feel pampered (putting clothes on them, sometimes makes them feel part of us)
If your puppy does not like to wear clothes, or his behavior and emotional state change, please do not force him, it may be that the garment bothers him, irritates him or simply wants to be as he came into the world. If not, let's buy you something!
In the next section, I will tell you which is the best clothes for small dogs depending on the season of the year: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
Spring
This season is perfect to dress your puppy as a superhero, use vintage models or haute couture garments. The latter will give him the necessary style to show him off on social networks and turn your dog into a celebrity.
Summer
Although your dog may love the nice summer weather, too much heat can be annoying, tiring or cause apathy. That is why, if you are going to dress him in fashion, the best way is to buy him clothes with mesh or very refreshing fabric.
Fall
The clothes I recommend here will keep your pup warm -but not too warm- during the chilly autumn breezes. Also, these designs will help your dog stay fashionable and you can take all the pictures you want.
Winter
With the arrival of winter your best friend will want to wear one of the warm and comfortable sweaters that I will recommend below. You can use sweatshirts of different styles (with or without hood), or other more casual models.
If you go to any product page on Amazon about dog clothes, you will find an image guide where they show you how to measure your puppy, and thus, choose the corresponding size. But, since it can be confusing in some cases, let me explain it to you quickly and easily:
You should take the following 3 measurements of your puppy:
Use a tape measure to measure the circumference of the neck. I recommend leaving 1 or 2 fingers of space so that the garment is never too tight.
As in the previous step, you should measure the circumference of the chest. You should always do it from the widest part (just behind the front legs).
Finally, measure the length from the neck to the beginning of the tail. Make sure your puppy is fully erect (not lying down or sitting).
Once you have these 3 measurements at hand, check the size image or specifications of the garment you want to buy.
In case the measurements are exactly in the middle of two sizes, always choose the larger one.
In this part I have divided all the clothes and some accessories by characteristics, so you can quickly find out which are the best casual designs, high fashion, raincoats, costumes, socks, booties, among others.
