I love it and hate it at the same time.
I love it because I own three dogs. Loki is muscular for a chihuahua but still skinny...with little fur. Sweaters help him feel comfortable all year long. Luna I take out running because she is a pretty hyper terrier mix that loves a good romp. Keeping her in during the rainy season is not a good idea. I cannot see the ground but I know there is glass down there so she runs with boots and a rain coat in the winter. Spyro used to get a thick coat but he is a doxie mix...his fur, while longer, really wasn't that thick to begin with. Now at 13, we have settled down to get him a sweater. He enjoys romps in the rain and getting soaked so I take him to cleaner areas. I bring a towel because...well we all know about jumping in puddles and then getting sick right?
I HATE it because...
many of the stores don't take dog clothing seriously at all anymore. Some of our dogs really would benefit from it...WE NEED FUNCTIONAL CLOTHES. Sometimes it is really hard to find and online you can't tell how thick something is. Some breeds, ESPECIALLY sighthounds really really really benefit from sweaters...any greyhound owner will tell you that.
