Now that it’s fall, it’s officially time for us to start bundling up in long sleeves, coats, and scarves before heading out into the cold. But we can’t forget about our four-legged friends.
You’ve probably seen a dog wearing a sweater before, and perhaps you thought the idea was simply cute or a bit ridiculous.
However, certain canines can become seriously cold or uncomfortable in the fall and winter, particularly if they don’t have a thick coat.
That’s why you should say goodbye to the idea that sweaters are only for pampered pups and consider getting one for your pet this season.
The Upsides Of Dog Sweaters
Aside from keeping your furry friend warm in the colder months, dog sweaters have other, less obvious benefits.
First of all, they aren’t as warm as dog jackets, meaning they can be worn both outside and around the house. This is particularly useful if your living space gets drafty or your dog likes the security a sweater can bring.
Sweaters are less restrictive than dog jackets, too, allowing your pet to move around freely without any mobility issues. Plus, these garments can actually help reduce shedding fur from tracking all over your home.
Last but not least, dog sweaters are great options for protecting irritated and healing skin or for keeping your pet clean while they’re walking outside.
