A dog is a wonderful, precious, priceless member of the family that brings joy and laughter into your life, loves you unconditionally but asks very little in return. People want only the best for their pets and that includes cute winter clothes. Years ago when the weather got cold, there were very few items of clothing to choose from for your dog but that is no longer the case. The dog clothing market is now a multi-million dollar business with fashions and accessories that start from very inexpensive to high-end clothes that are almost unaffordable.Because of the size of the dog fashion market, finding the perfect outfits for chic canines has never been easier.

At one time, the clothing items available for dogs were for specific functions such as sweaters for tiny dogs or ones with very short hair that could not tolerate the cold and boots to protect their feet from the snow, ice and rock salt. Dogs that were sensitive to the cold usually appreciated warm clothing to keep them from freezing. Beloved members of the family, many dogs now have the pleasure of living in comfortable, climate-controlled homes with cozy beds, so no longer receive the environmental prompts necessary to adjust to the seasonal weather changes. As winter arrives, the temperatures drop and snow arrives, the natural coats of indoor dogs are often not heavy enough to protect them from the winter elements. Feet that are only used to soft carpet and indoor flooring often require protective boots or shoes to avoid injury. Other dogs that often need winter clothes, but not as a fashion statement, include search and rescue, sled and police dogs that wear winter coats and footwear to protect them from the snow, sleet and ice. Frail dogs, older dogs, shorthaired breeds and young puppies need winter wear as they are also more vulnerable.
