As the weather changes across the country, most pet parents are caught in a dilemma on how best to keep their fur babies warm and cozy. A good way to keep your dogs comfortable and healthy as the weather transitions are with dog sweaters. This is a must in case you have a young puppy, a senior dog, any of the toy breeds, or dogs with a short coat.
As a pet parent myself and a pet apparel designer, I am very particular when it comes to selecting the right sweaters for my dogs. Here are some helpful tips for pet owners to ensure you pick the ‘Pawfect sweater’ for your fur buddies.
Tips To Pick Sweaters For Your Pets
1. Check The Material — Yes, I realize all those beautiful colors and lovely designs of pet apparel catch our eyes first, but the material of the sweater is of prime importance. Always run the material through your fingers and check the seams to ensure there are no rough or scratchy bits. I always check the sweater fabric by running it against my inner-wrists to assess its softness.
2. Stretchable Collars — As sweaters are worn for longer periods by our pets, it is better to opt for pull-over styles than those with buttons and fastenings. It is easy to put on and take off these kinds of sweaters.
3. Sleeves Are Optional — I prefer sweaters with no sleeves, as it gives the dogs more comfort and mobility. And there is no hassle when they are playing inside the house. And as most of us keep the thermostat at an optimal level, most dogs are happier in sweaters sans sleeves.
4. Minimal/Soft Embellishments — When buying sweaters, look for those that have no chunky embellishments or tassels. Any decorative element should be soft to touch and not bother your pets.
5. Look For Pretty Sweaters — I know, I know, the last one is more for us pet parents than the pets. But no one can deny the joy we feel when we see our babies walking by in a cute sweater. One glance at my little Bella and Luna curled up wearing pretty matching sweaters in my home office as I work is all that I need to de-stress.
All our sweaters at SassyDogFashions are created and sourced according to the above pointers. And definitely get two woofs and a big tail wag from my darlings.
