You wish to dress your pet. Dressing dogs and cats are a
little tricky especially in this country. I will assume you live in the warmer
regions of this country. First of all, our pets are wearing fur. Second, it is
too warm to wear clothes on top of fur. Our pets struggle with the heat as it
is. They are constantly at war with heat in this country. Just to remind other
pet parents that dressing pets must be limited. They have to have function. As
a pet parent, make sure the clothes are really pet friendly and comfortable.
First to be considered in choosing clothes for your pets is
the materials. Cottons of
all kind are best for our furry love ones. Cotton breathes and is available in
different kind of forms like cotton knits, Chinese cotton, Cotton linen, Twill
and cotton denim. They are very versatile.
Find
cotton materials that are light and breathable. Air should pass through cooling
your pet. They should also be not the heavy type of fabric. The limit of
clothing and accessories worn by your pet should not exceed twenty percent
(20%) of the pet’s weight. That means if your pet is five kilos, the dress,
collar and leash should total to one kilo only.
