Christmas Clothing for Dogs

Christmas is just round the corner and you are wondering what gifts to send to your family and friends. As you are pondering over your options, don't forget about the animals. Pet clothing is getting more and more popular these days, especially if they live in urban homes. They are just so used to being around human beings that wearing clothing doesn't seem quite out of the norm!

There are many types of dog clothing available in the market, and you may wish to consider purchasing some for your own pet or to send as Christmas gifts. Here are some ideas.

Dog costumes.

Dog costumes are excellent for fantasy play. Just like costumes for human, the pets become a totally different personality when they don the costume. Many costumes come in bright, vivid colors. So they are best suited to be worn during social occasions or festive parties. Christmas is a good time to dress up your dog in a fancy costume!

Dog sweaters and coats.

Dog sweaters and coats tend to be more serious looking. However, when smaller pets wear them, there is still the adorable effect. It's like little children pretending to be adults. They come in many different designs and colors. Some are even knitted with beautiful patterns. You can purchase several of these and create a new wardrobe for your dog. During family outings, simply choose one that matches with the clothing of your family members. Your dog, after all, is part of the family.

Dog dresses.

Obviously, dog dresses are for female dogs only. Attempting to dress up a male dog in a dress will make your dog look silly. Usually, younger owners and teens will enjoy dressing up their dogs in dresses, as the pets become dainty and "princess-like" when wearing the dresses. For more aggressive dogs, a pink dress can downplay the aggressiveness. A dress can be very useful if you want to express the personality of a dog. Ever seen a poodle in a butterfly dress? It looks like a celebrity is walking down the red carpet!

Big dog clothing.

You have to agree, dresses and coats may not be the most ideal clothing for big dogs. You just can't get them to look dainty and adorable because they are just so big! They are like the "big brothers" in the neighborhood. So be sure to get some clothing that sends the right message across. For instance, a hoodie or a mature looking sweater will look just fine on your handsome dog.

Dog wedding attire.

If you ever find yourself going to a wedding, then you know that bringing a dog can be troublesome. Besides, the dog is look so out of place. But what if you can't find anyone else to take care of your dog while you attend the wedding ceremony? The only way out then, is to bring the dog along. If so, take the effort to dress the dog appropriately for the occasion. For male dogs, you can buy them tuxedos with bow ties. For female dogs, a satin dress will look most wonderful for the special occasion.
