1. The benefits of dressing dogs
1. Keeping warm: in winter , Some short-haired dogs are recommended to wear clothes when they go out, because short-haired dogs have relatively weak ability to keep out the cold and are more likely to catch a cold. Puppies with weakened immune systems, older dogs, and small dogs with low fat content can also wear clothing to avoid catching a cold.
2. Avoid injury: When dogs go out, they often like to run to places with grass and branches. Sometimes there are many stones on the road, and dogs are more likely to be scratched when they play. If you wear clothes, There can be a layer of protection to prevent the dog from being scratched.
3. Keep it clean: Most dogs don’t like cleanliness very much. Whether indoors or outdoors, they like to lie on the ground and roll when they are happy. Wearing clothes can keep the dog’s hair clean. Worry about your dog’s skin being too dry due to frequent bathing.
Second, the disadvantages of dressing dogs
1. Knots: It is generally not recommended for dogs with long hair to wear clothes, because the dog’s hair and clothes are rubbed for a long time, which makes it easier to tie knots, which is difficult to comb, and it is easy to hurt the dog when combing.
2. Affecting resistance: As a warm-blooded animal, wearing clothes for a long time will affect the dog’s own temperature regulation ability and reduce the dog’s resistance when the outside temperature changes.
3. Damage to the skin: If the material of the clothes is not good, it is easy to cause static electricity when worn on the body for a long time. Short-haired dogs have relatively weak skin protection, and wearing clothes for a long time is prone to skin diseases or skin allergies. Rough or ill-fitting clothing can also chafe your dog’s skin.
In summary, some elderly dogs, newborn dogs and dogs with short hair are more recommended to use clothes to keep out the cold in winter, but like Samoyeds and Huskies, they come from severe cold areas, and their ability to keep out the cold is relatively low. A strong dog doesn’t need to do anything more. In addition, when choosing clothes for dogs, pay attention to the material and size, and change them frequently to keep them clean and hygienic!
