Dog Clothes FAQs

Should dogs wear clothes?

Not every dog needs clothes, but many dogs benefit from clothes depending on the weather. Choose dog clothing that is appropriate to the temperature, environment, and your dog's favourite activities.

What clothes are best for dogs in winter?

For cold Canadian winters, insulated jackets, water-resistant coats, and lined sweaters help protect your dog from frost, wind, and snow. Short-haired breeds or smaller dogs especially benefit from winter gear to stay warm during walks.

Is it safe to dress dogs in clothes?

It is generally safe to dress dogs in clothes as long as the clothes are appropriate for the dog's size, breed, and needs. Clothes can provide warmth, protection, and style, especially in cold or rainy weather or for dogs with skin conditions or allergies.

Do dogs like wearing clothes?

Most dogs need some practice and encouragement to get used to wearing dog clothes. If you choose dog clothes that have a practical purpose, like warmth on a cold winter walk, most dogs learn to appreciate the benefits that dog clothes give them.

Do dog clothes help dogs with anxiety?

Dogs that suffer from anxiety may benefit from wearing some types of dog clothes. Similar to the effects of a compression vest, some dogs may find the gentle compression and warmth of dog clothes to be soothing.

What are the best dog clothes?

Choosing the best dog clothes depends on your dog's needs and preferences, as well as the climate and activity level. Dog coats and boots are ideal for colder weather, while sweaters and rain gear might be better suited to spring and fall temperatures.

When the seasons change and the weather starts to cool, having the appropriately-sized dog clothing can make or break your dog's outdoor routine.
