Dog clothes such as coats serve many useful purposes. And it doesn't hurt that they give your pet some eye-catching style at the same time.
Things to consider: Traveling, types of material, and nighttime safety.
Remember the Coat - Coats are only useful if we have them with us when we need them. Make sure when you and your dog travel that you remember to bring his warmest dog clothes and costumes in case the weather where you're going to is more brutal than it is where you're coming from.
The Right Fabric - Besides being fashionable, dog clothes and costumes often serve a purpose, too. Which kind of coats you buy for your dog depends on your intended uses for them. If you are trying to keep your small or short-haired dog warm, for example, you might try a heavy fleece. However, fleece coats will not protect your dog from rain and can pick up thorns and brambles and burrs in the wild.
Raincoat Reflections - Raincoats will protect your dog from getting wet, but unless they are reflective and lighted, they will not make him visible in the dark. Reflective and lighted raincoats may protect your dog from getting wet and remaining visible at night, but they are not so fashionable for that night out on the town. Think carefully about what your reasons are for buying your dog coats, and under what conditions she will be wearing it, so that you can be sure to get the right kinds of coats.
Accessorize Her - When buying dog clothes and costumes, do not forget to accessorize. For example, for those brisk and bright outdoor winter days, consider some booties and sunglasses to go with those fleece-lined fur coats.
