Day 15- Dressing Up

Dressing up is a common activity we do with our dogs at this time of year and one that I am also guilty of for christmas. While it is mostly harmless we also need to exercise caution, not all dogs enjoy having an outfit put on them, or if they are used to wearing jumpers, they may not like some of the more extravagant outfits available on the market.

Your dog should be able to perform normally while wearing the outfit. This means that they are walking around, jumping, eating, drinking and sleeping. If you find your dog is rolling around on the floor, trying to get the outfit off or simply shuts down (meaning they don’t move at all), it is a sign that your dog is not comfortable and the outfit should be removed.
