To Dress or Not to Dress? That is the question. Part 4: Weight

Weight is something not often considered by humans. A heavy jacket or dress at the right prize will always be a great bargain. For a pet, weights can stress them out especially if they are not built for carrying load. Pets4Peace recommends clothing as accessories not heavier than twenty percent of the pet’s weight.

Dogs and cats naturally do not take to clothes. They can be trained in wearing clothes but not for a very long time. Heavy clothes will seem restricting to pets and this will irritate them and eventually stress them. Remember, choose light and breathable fabrics, neat and comfortable cuts, and consider the weight of the clothes.
