Why dress your dog?

Dog clothes are not just about fashion. They protect against bad weather, temperature fluctuations, and dirt. Small dogs, or those with short hair, such as Dachshunds or Chihuahuas, are more sensitive to the cold and particularly benefit from warm clothes that are adapted to their size . For example, a fleece down jacket with a hood is perfect for very cold winter days.

In addition, dog clothes also protect against UV rays in summer and rain showers in spring. By dressing your dog in suitable and comfortable clothes , you allow him to fully enjoy every walk.
