Do dogs need coats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are often debates about whether dogs need clothes or shoes. One group thinks that clothes are completely unnecessary for dogs, while others have an absolutely different opinion. There is no universal answer because not all dogs are the same, they don't come from the same regions, they are not the same age, and they don't live in the same conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

BREEDS THAT DON'T NEED CLOTHING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dogs that come from colder parts of the world have several layers of fur that protect their body from the cold, so they don't need coats or clothes in any case. Not even when it's very cold outside. Those breeds are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the dog's age, size, or length of its coat, if you notice that it's cold, shivering, whining, or stopping while walking, provide it with adequate clothing while it is outside.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dog boots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dog boots are also needed for some breeds when there's snow or ice outside, but the problem is that not all dogs can get used to having something on their paws.<\/p>\n\n\n

You should adjust your dog's clothing to the weather conditions, and shouldn't overdress the dog.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Regardless of whether you are choosing a sweatshirt, sweater, raincoat, or jacket for your dog, you should make sure that the size fits it. It's not good for its clothes to be tight and restrict its movement, and too big because it will be hanging and falling so the dog won't be able to move in it. Before buying any piece of clothing, it is necessary to measure the dog correctly, and for this, you need standard measurements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

A: The length from the neck (where the collar is) to the end of its back, excluding the tail<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B: Obim grudi  kod prednjih \u0161apa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C: Neck (girth)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want clothes with trouser legs, then you should measure the girth and length of the dog's legs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the market, you can find clothes for all sizes of dogs, but you should pay attention to the quality of the materials the clothing is made from, to avoid an allergic reaction.
