• Be certain of measurements. Measure
a dog from neck to tail, as this is how many
manufacturers size their apparel.
• Like children, puppies grow quickly so
avoid buying too many items for a growing
puppy.
• Dogs get dirty and so do their clothes!
Look for items that are maching washable
and can be washed frequently.
• Zippers can catch on fur or skin, making
dogs reluctant to wear clothes, so look for
buttons, snaps or other closures instead of
zippers.
• Select well-fitting pieces that are neither
too tight nor too loose. This way dogs can
move around unencumbered and will not
trip and fall.
• Some dogs like clothing, while others
may bite and pull at clothes. Do not force
dogs to wear something if they don't like it.
