Designer Dog Coat decisions made easy

Let me start this article with a few cautionary words about how to select the perfect coat for a dog.In the last few years a lot of people talk of dogs having a “sixth sense” which enables them to relate to human emotions. Now I don’t know whether this is the case or not. I do know for certain however that dogs certainly have a sixth sense when it comes to fashion.Yes they know what does and doesn’t look good on the catwalk (or should that be dog walk)so for goodness sake get your four legged friend a decent designer dog coat!

Why Dog Coats Matter In a world rife with variety in every sector of life, dog coats are no exception. There are many different types of dog coats. You have the good old fashion all in one dog coat, the city dog coat, the arsenal dog coat and the all weather dog coat. There are now thankfully many designer dog coats available on the market. Whereas in the old days, you had to clothe your canine in mainly unexciting and uninspired fare, today is truly a different era. Dog owners no longer see their pets as essentially different from humans. They see their pets as deserving all of the same luxuries and tastes as any sensitive human being would demand. This has given birth a sort of renaissance, if you will, of doggy shoes, doggy bonnets, doggy trousers and of course dog coats. Given this overall effusion of excitement, I’m sure that you and your dog are just dying to join in on the fun.

Here are the two main elements that you should look for in a dog coat:

1. Function. We must admit, function is secondary when choosing a dog coat. It’s just not the main attraction. However, if you live in a cold climate and don’t want to have to leave your best friend at home when you take your morning jog, a high quality warm and insulated dog coat really is a necessity. For a highly functional dog coat that will keep your canine warm in any whether, a wool-based coat is one of the best options. This material is sure to keep that little animal nice and toasty regardless of the cruelties of climate.

2. Fashion. Now this is the really important category. Leave function behind if you have to, but NEVER leave fashion behind. Dressing your dog in an ugly coat is just wrong. It is – and I do not exaggerate – the eighth deadly sin. Looking cool should be the first word in the dog coat decision making process. Always choose patterns and colours that complement your dog’s fur, eyes, and temperament. Also, do not make the mistake of thinking that your dog does not care what he or she is wearing. (Believe me; I know from my own experience. If your ask you pet to wear a dog coat he or she doesn’t like the little darling will let you know in no uncertain terms. This is uncanny, but true!) Remember that hair loss treatment for women can mean that dog coats are a great solution.

In conclusion, remember that really putting thought into your decision is a huge part of what it means to really care for your dog. Don’t rush, think about the ideal way to express your dog’s personality through fashion and choose a super dog coat. It’s that simple!
