The Fashionable K-9
Posted by Hot Dog Collars on 07/21/16 10:04 AM
If you’ve been out on the lake or hitting the nature trails
with your canine companion recently, you’ve probably noticed other owners and
their pups in matching gear. It’s not just during the summer either; dogs seem
to be rocking their new outfits year round: Puffy jackets in the winter, long
socks in the spring and life jackets in the summer—dog clothing has come to
stay.

The Staples of a
Wardrobe
What’s one of our favorite things to do as the seasons
change? Getting a new wardrobe! Or at least getting a couple new shirts, shoes
and jackets; have to keep to the budget, right? If we have pet children (and
56
percent of Americans
do) we’re more likely to spend our extra cash on them,
aren’t we? It’s just what good pet parents do.
Clearly, dressing up the dog isn’t just for Halloween
anymore. Doggie jackets, shoes and sweaters are becoming more and more
common—and necessary.
Doggie Allergies
Why do we wear clothing? To protect ourselves from the
elements and (as an added bonus) showcase our style. Our furry friends are in
need of the same accessories. In a story run by CNN, it was learned that humans
aren’t the only animal group who suffer from allergies:
10 percent of
dogs do too. Imagine a dog who can’t roll around in the wet grass or run
through a field because he’s allergic to grass—how tragic! This is where
dog clothing comes in to
save the day.
You’ve probably seen some dogs running around at the dog
park with some funky looking stockings on their legs. These are dog booties.
Dog booties are little socks that are slipped on to all four paws of your pooch.
This protects their sensitive paw pads from the grasses that irritate their
skin. Available in a variety of colors, your dog can rock a rainbow every day.
Chilly Weather
Is your pooch hard to get out of the house when it rains? Who
can blame them, no one likes going out in the rain. But when the backyard is his
bathroom, staying indoors all day is a no go. The Dino Dog Pet Rain Jacket is
100 percent waterproof and 100 percent comfortable for your four-legged buddy,
and will make getting him outside a breeze.
A doggie jacket isn’t just great for those quick excursions,
they’re essential to keeping your pup warm on those weekend family camping
trips. Keep your pup dry and stylin’ in this rain jacket available in navy blue
and neon orange.
Rough Terrain
Now be honest: when you open up an L.L. Bean catalog, part
of you just wants to order all that stuff because of how well-coordinated the
outfits are. Who doesn’t like ordering stuff because it looks cool? Good
camping gear doesn’t just look good, it’s functional too, much like
Durable Dog Boots made
for the active dog. Like you, your dog leads an active lifestyle, and he needs
the gear to go along with it.
Durable dog boots are skid and water resistant and essential
for the dog who lives in a colder climate. For the dog who climbs, hikes and
goes running, durable dog boots are his Nikes.
We want our canine friends to be well taken care of. As good owners, we do what we can to make them happy. Dog clothing at HotDogCollars will help get them there. Shop for that next pair of puppy shoes today!
