Sincetheweatherout- side is frightful, this could not be a better time to plan the year for possible an- imal-re- lated top- ics. Did you know that every day throughout 2017 there is some sort of holiday or national pe- riod for celebrating? While many are quite familiar, there is also an amazing array of offbeat, and just plain wacky, celebrations for both humans and pets. So be prepared, readers. This year we will be having a little fun observing some of these quirky festivities for pets. One such celebration oc- curs today, January 14. More than just a regular Saturday on the calendar, it happens to be National Dress-Up Your Pet Day. Founded by animal be- haviorist Colleen Paige in 2009, the day is sponsored by the Animal Miracle Net- work to not only celebrate pets, but also to help sup- port the pet fashion com- munity. Pet fashion, whether we agree with it or not, is a multimillion-dollar in- dustry. As a matter of fact, one of the world's fore- most fashion design educa- tional facilities, the Fash- ion Institute of Technol- ogy in New York City, has developed courses in pet product design to serve the flourishing pet fashion and marketing industry. If you doubt that it is thriv- ing, think again. According to the American Pet Prod- ucts Association, in 2015 in the United States over sixty billion dollars was spent on pets. Of that amount, a substantial portion was disbursed on fashion items such as holiday outfits, matching collar and leash sets, and coats and vests. Another example of how successful pet fashion is; in 2012, American consumers spent approximately 370 million dollars on pet cos- tumes for Halloween. While National Dress- Up Your Pet Day may not be a well-known holiday, a little indulgence on this celebratory day might be a good idea. Lately it has been quite cold, rainy and snowy. By participating, you could be protecting your pet from the elements. An extra layer of warmth can truly be beneficial for some of our furry compan- ions, especially those that are thin, small, senior, or have short fur. In addition, our pets typically are ac- customed to living in cli- mate-controlled homes, and may not be as capable of staying warm as their wilder relatives. Another reason to take part is that your pet gets a few positive things out of the deal. He definitely gets your undi- vided attention and, if he is exceptionally lucky, a fistful of extra treats. Sweaters, coats, hats, and footwear are not only readily available, but the options are endless. Al- though there is no deny- ing that an animal dressed up looks adorable, there are many practical reasons to outfit a pet. Raincoats and all-weather boots can pro- vide much needed protec- tion from a variety of harsh elements. Non-slip socks are ideal for seniors and dogs with joint pain, help- ing them to remain steady on slippery floors. Thun- der shirts can calm anx- ious dogs and cats. Special vests and coats can denote various service, therapy, and medical alert animals. Adopt-Me bandanas and vests are perfect to signal the public about homeless animals looking for perma- nent homes. When dressing your pet, there are a few key points to remember. Never force a pet to wear clothing. If your pet has a thicker coat with longer fur, clothes may be unnecessary and can overheat the animal quickly. Check for anything that might irritate or hurt your pet's skin and, if the pet is noticeably uncom- fortable, remove the gar- ments immediately. Ill-fit- ting clothes can not only rub skin painfully, but may also inhibit movement, and even hinder ability to com- municate with other an- imals. Always take accu- rate measurements so the clothing will not be uncom- fortable. In addition, when getting the animal accus- tomed to wearing any gar- ment, allow them to walk around with it for a short period and then offer a tasty reward. After all, a lit- tle bit of "sugar" helps the "medicine" go down. As an additional note, during this period of in- clement weather, the dogs at the Tehama County An- imal Care Center at 1830 Walnut St., Red Bluff, 530 527-3439, could use a bit of extra warmth. If you own extra garments that your canines refuse to wear or you would like to make a donation, all sizes of sweat- ers and cover-ups would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your kindness. So why not have a little fun and celebrate this hol- iday with us? If you want to bring some happiness and smiles to other pet lov- ers, dress your furry friend in comfortable, safe cloth- ing or a bandana and take some photos to share on- line. Just e-mail me at rm- credbluff@gmail.com or post directly to the PETS Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/PET- STehama . Everyone would enjoy seeing the pictures.
