Winter is a beautiful time of year. The leaves are altering, and if you are not a fan of hot weather, you are possibly relieved by the dropping temperatures. It is the perfect time for walks with your dog, and with a rain jacket, sweater, and boots, you can do it without a mess, even on wet, filthy days. A dog sweater is perfect for indoor wear as well, right along with a cute little pair of socks.
How to buy sweaters for large breed dogs?
Now that it is winter, it is the ideal time to purchase your dog a comfortable, warm, and adorable sweater! Dog sweaters are perfect all-purpose garments that are ideal for autumn, spring, and winter. They can be worn indoors or outdoors, and are perfect when it is a bit chilly but not cold enough. With a lot of cute choices, it can be tempting to choose the first dog sweater you see, but it is smart to think before you purchase.
Dogs should not wear clothing designed for humans. It is uncomfortable and unsafe. Dog sweaters also need to come on and off with simplicity. Thus, they usually feature a stretchy, loose design with a wide neck. The wide neck also stops the sweater from hindering the dog’s movement. The most common materials used for these garments is polyester and cotton yarn. Usually the dog sweater is a tube with wide holes at either end and two holes for the legs.
You will also find dog sweaters which attach with straps rather than being pulled over the head. These are a perfect alternative if you have a dog that just will not put up with you putting a sweater on in the conventional way. These are also typically made out of cotton or polyester, and typically look like a knitted rectangle with a belt. The belt usually uses buttons, snaps, or Velcro. Velcro is easy, but remember that it is not as hard-wearing as buttons or snaps, and may ultimately not work as well over time.
Additional tips to buy sweaters as gifts for dog lovers
After you purchase a dog sweater, double check to ensure that it will fit your dog. Hold it up and check that it would not cover your dog’s tail, as this can be very uncomfortable. You want your dog to be able to wag his tail freely. It is also necessary, particularly with male dogs, to ensure that the bottom edge of a pull on sweater is not going to be too long or tight. Ensure that the leg holes are large enough and will not pinch into the legs. If you buy a sweater with a hood, it is best if it can be pulled back. Hoods can be great for the rain, but they can be preventive if worn too long, and you never want them to occlude your dog’s eyesight! A hood that limits vision is an unsafe hood.
Buyers who are new to picking out dog clothes may wonder whether a dog sweater is really necessary. Many dogs appreciate them though because the sweater keeps them warm, dry and cozy. Remember to introduce the new sweater to your dog gradually so he has time to get used to it!
