Are you a pet owner and love keeping your dog warm and stylish? Know that the best way to protect your pet from the cold and avoid diseases such as pneumonia is to keep him well dressed.
Short-haired dogs, puppies, elderly dogs or those with health problems are the ones who feel the cold the most. It is very important for dogs to protect themselves in the coldest temperatures. Does your friend tend to shake or his ears are always cold? This is the time to buy an outfit for your furry friend!
In addition to being protected, the clothing makes the dog more stylish. With so many options out there, we’ve broken down everything you should know to choose the right outfit for your friend.
When choosing the ideal clothes for your dog, take into account three main characteristics: size, comfort and protection. The size of the piece needs to be suitable for the length and size of your pet’s belly.
Measure your friend from neck to tail, and also the circumference of the neck and chest. Then just check the store’s measurement chart to find the ideal clothing size for him.
The item must not have zippers, buttons or accessories that hurt the dog. O comfort and well-being of your little one must be respected. Choose clothes made with quality fabrics and with an opening at the back. Avoid models with long sleeves, which make it difficult for your friend to move around.
Clothes should not be considered mere details in your pet’s appearance. For dogs that sleep outside, warmer clothing is a protective option.

Halloween costumes for pets
It’s no wonder that the best images on the internet are of dogs in costumes. Many owners strive to dress up their friend and end up creating hilarious compositions, paying homage to characters from films and series or even customizing an exclusive model for their pet.
Halloween, for example, is a date that originated in the United States, but is widely celebrated in Brazil. It’s common for doggies and kittens to dress up during this period, creating really cute combinations!
However, remember that costumes need to be comfortable so as not to hinder the pet’s movement. Regardless of the model, keep costumes with toxic materials, paint, makeup and loose parts that could be ingested or cause harm to animals away from your dog.
Don’t leave your dog in clothes or costumes for too long. It is important that the skin breathes so as not to accumulate moisture, which makes the body prone to the proliferation of fungi. Brush your best friend’s fur frequently. The accumulation of knots in the fur also causes injuries and wounds to the animals’ skin.
