Why Do Dogs Need Dog Hoodies?

Picture yourself and your dog, together, out and about. You’re walking along the sidewalk on your way to a little romp in the park. You go out every day and this is your favorite time of day. You always look forward to your dog taking in the world while you chat with whoever you run into.

You love your friend and you take take of him. You’re always getting treats for him and he knows how much you care. He’s always there for you so you want to be there for him. He’s your boy.

Then, speaking of running into people, you see another dog and his or her parent. Looking a little closer, you make out that it’s a her. But what really catches your attention is the little dog sweater – one of those “dog hoodies” you’ve heard about – that the other dog is sporting so nonchalantly. It is pretty cute, you think.

Then you feel a twinge of guilt. It is kind of cool, chilly in fact. You’re nice and warm in your coat, but you had always assumed that your dog was fine. Come to think of it, though, he is usually really stoic. Okay. That’s it. You’re convinced now. Later today you’re getting a couple of dog hoodies for him, no more putting off the decision. He’s not going to be left out in the cold! Winter is definitely here, after all.

Imagine another scene. You’re out walking your baby, a chihuahua, making the rounds, and you suddenly see an extremely well-dressed neighbor and her owner coming toward you. What is that in front of you? You had thought a nice collar and leash would be fashionable enough, but you never counted on a studded collar, red hoodie, and matching booties.

Your own little one looks back at you as if to say, “Why don’t I have any dog hoodies?”

It hurts. All right, that does it. Your baby is not going to be the odd one out. Now you just have to find out where to buy the best.

Welcome to the world of dog hoodies, AKA dog sweaters, dog sweatshirts, and so on.

It’s a world not of catwalks but dog-walks, pooches in colorful sweatshirts, wearing bling and things. Outsiders peering in just don’t understand. They don’t go to such lengths for their canine companions. They don’t understand that our dogs need clothes, whether it’s chihuahua dog clothes or dog hoodies for pitbulls.

For those of us on the inside, however, it’s just the obvious thing to do for our friend or baby. How can we ever repay the love they give us? Unless of course they are a husky or some other cold-weather breed. Those of us with smaller or shorter-haired dogs, house dogs, know that they need dog hoodies almost as much as we need our coats and shoes. And why shouldn’t our little ones be as well-dressed as we are?

It’s not a new idea, either. People who care enough have been adorning their dogs with clothes and accessories for at least 5000 years. Modern dog clothes got their start, along with most other fashion, in Paris in the last couple hundred years. If you’ve got it, why not flaunt it – at least when it comes to unselfish giving back to your baby who gives you so much.

If you do, you’ve got a lot of company. Even the current down economy has hardly made a dent in the spending that pet parents continue to do for their pooches. There are lots of arguments in favor of it. Our pets usually live inside with us. They’re not wild animals. They need protection from the elements as much as we do.

Dog parents (calling us owners just doesn’t say it) are willing to spring for top-quality designs and fabrics for their “children”. Designers and couturiers are dreaming up ever more eye-catching and heart-tugging dog coats, dog hoodies, and more. In fact, even as we speak, new companies are springing up to help you give the best to your beloved baby.

There are pet designer stores offering a huge variety of dog hoodies, sweaters, and other outfits and accessories. As part of the family, doesn’t your pal deserve the same quality that you do? He or she may not see color as well as you do, but they know when they’re loved. They know when they stand out in the crowd. And they know when they get to wear what you do and stay warm just like you.

What’s more, why not show your human friends how much you care? Shout it from the rooftops! Better yet, dress up your baby or your workmate, either one, in a dog hoodie (or a warm dog coat, if you like that name better) so that everyone knows how important he or she is. Every dog should be as well taken care of as yours is.

Well, then. Okay. Where do you go to buy the best? In earlier years, the answer would have been the closest medium-sized city or better. More recently, you would have sought out a specialty company via their website. These days, just about anything you want can be found at Amazon.com, and dog hoodies/dog sweaters are no exception.

Why Amazon? Probably the most important factor in your shopping nowadays is security. You don’t want your identity to be stolen. Amazon is safer than almost any kind of shopping in human history. The reasons closer to your heart, though, are the selection and quality on offer there, along with the genuine and verified reviews that make sure your pet will wear only the best.

What do you look for in dog hoodies?

Well, you want something that fits your dog’s personality as well as yours. It makes all the difference how easy it is to get on or off, so you can avoid unnecessary inconvenience to your pet. You’re also concerned how comfortable your baby will feel in it, how easily it molds to their form while allowing their natural movement full play. Dog hoodies should always be cut and designed to allow them to relieve themselves with no muss or fuss. Finally, it should be washable and durable as well as sharp and attention-getting.
