Why do doggies need a warm sweater for a walk? Not all dogs do need dog sweaters. If they are thin napped or hairless, they need a knitted dog sweater. The dogs that do need are the small dogs like miniature poodles, Scottish Terriers, all Miniature Daschunds, Minature Schnauzers, Minature Fox Terrier, Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, Chihahuas,  Shih Tzu, Pugs as well as medium sized dogs - Rottweilers, Bulldogs, Dalamations, Boxers, Air Dales and large dogs such as Greyhounds, and Great Danes. This list is not complete but will give you an idea of types of breeds that need dog sweaters.

What type of sweater is best? For colder climates the sweater should fit the dog over the back, neck, and leg holes. The sweater should be warm (preferably wool) and durable.  All of our sweaters are made from wool and made to measure so that you should not have any issues with fit.  The fit should be comfortable. If you add our knit dog accessories of leggings, which will keep the legs warm, and hat, which will keep the ears warm, your dog should be protected. The rule of thumb is that if the temperature is freezing 32° F your do need a dog sweater. If the temperature is significantly lower than freezing your dog needs more protection and still should not be left out in the cold for an extended period of time. They will need dog sweaters even if they are just going out to relieve themself. If the dog comes inside wet, you should remove the clothing immediately, towel dry the dog, and use a hair dryer to dry the dog. Dog sweaters should not be worn in the house unless the temperatures are very cold as the sweaters can cause the dog to over heat.

Let's Party!!!!!

We love our pets so such and they are so cute! Dressing them up for holidays and special occasions or just for fun can be so enjoyable. We take pictures that we share and spend time with other dog lovers that enjoy dressing up man's best friend. We can design a fashion sweater for you that will be a one-of-a kind. You can complete the outfit with knitted dog accessories. You participate in the design and we do the rest. You can have a frilly dress with ruffles or bobbles. Either would make a fun Christmas stress. We can make something elaborate with dog bones, which is really different. Use your imagination and we will design it for you.
