Clothes for a Spitz: varieties and tips for choosing

Many owners love to dress up their pets. Four-legged friends are bought intricate clothes at pet stores or sew them with their own hands. Spitz is the best choice for those who like to dress pets, because it is one of the most popular decorative dog breeds.

Spitz have a good-natured character, they are quite sympathetic and love to play with children. Painstaking care of this breed is not required, which makes the dogs even more attractive to breeders. Despite the presence of a thick coat with a good undercoat, they, like all decorative small dogs, can freeze. In the summer they are worn only for demonstration performances at exhibitions, but in the cold season, clothes for dogs become necessary. Let us dwell in more detail on the question of why the owners dress Spitz, and what things they need.

Spitz by nature have everything they need to survive in their natural habitat. However, when breeding decorative breeds, people paid attention not to their resistance to weather changes, but to their external qualities. For this reason small dogs need clothes, which will protect them from precipitation and too low temperatures.

Essentials for a dog's wardrobe include raincoats and jackets: getting caught in the rain, the Spitz can chill and get sick. The raincoat is not equipped with insulation, since the spitz does not need it. This breed tolerates cold better, since the dog's coat is very voluminous and retains body heat.

In winter, roads are often sprinkled with special substances to combat snow. Pomeranian pads can be damaged by reagents.To avoid damage, you can use protective ointments, but it's better to just put your pet in shoes.

In the wardrobe for girls must be present panties. During estrus, they protect floors, carpets and furniture from dirt. For walks in the fresh air, such underwear is not worn for a dog.

There are things that are not clearly necessary, but nevertheless, many owners acquire them to decorate their pet. A huge amount has been invented for a spitz models of suits with bow ties, dresses, skirts, T-shirts, vests etc. Dog designers have not forgotten about shoes either - winter and summer models allow dogs to keep their paws clean... Traditional wardrobe items are often accompanied by accessories - sunglasses, hats, hats.

Of course, many of the above things the dog does not need, but nevertheless, the owners dress up their little pets as brightly as possible. The main thing is that this does not cause discomfort to the dog, since animals do not tend to wear clothes.

Among the popular things that Spitz wear, we note the following:

• cloak;
• overalls;
• T-shirt;
• the dress;
• skirt;
• shirt;
• blanket;
• boots.

Overalls are a very useful thing in winter, as it protects the Spitz's body from the cold. Just like a man, a dog needs a thing that fits it in size: not cramped and not huge, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to walk in it. On top of the overalls there is usually a layer of bologna, and inside there is a fleece or cotton lining so that the Spitz does not sweat.

The cloak looks like a jumpsuit or fastens on the belly. They sew it from waterproof material.

Boots are a fashionable element of a dog's wardrobe. You need to buy shoes when you come to the store with your dog, where during the fitting process you can immediately observe the reaction of the animal. If the dog categorically refuses to walk in shoes, then you do not need to force him.

T-shirts, shirts and skirts are usually worn by pets for display at the exhibition.... Often, the owners like to show off their dressed up dogs for a walk. Of course, dressing a dog beautifully for no particular reason is not forbidden, but remember that the materials of dog clothes must be natural.

Hand-made lovers are happy to sew clothes for their four-legged friends themselves. Now you can easily find a huge number of clothing patterns for Spitz and other decorative dogs.

You need to purchase things in which the dog will be comfortable. The lining of dog clothes should be made of bikes or cotton, as synthetics can threaten your pet with contact dermatitis. If the thing is too small for the dog, then this will not only impede its movement, but also threatens with frostbite. But very bulky clothes can threaten with the opposite effect - overheating. In order not to be mistaken with the choice of clothing size, go shopping with your dog.

A wide range of accessories and things for dogs allows you to buy them taking into account the gender. Choose a leash and a collar with rhinestones for the girl, as well as cute pendants with pebbles, the fur framing the face can be fixed with decorative hairpins. Raincoats for female dogs are decorated with bows and flowers.

The owner must be patient and not scold the pet when he tries on clothes for the first time, since not all dogs like it... Having dressed up the dog, you can see that it walks slowly and with all its appearance shows you its discomfort.In addition, you may get the impression that things are not her size, although the size of the animal was taken into account when buying. It often happens that you may not be able to dress the dog in overalls on the first try.

You need to gradually accustom your dog to clothes. Here are some tips on how to make this process easier:

• at first, put on a T-shirt on the dog;
• more serious things, such as overalls, must first be worn at home and only after successfully passing this stage can you go out in a new dress on the street;
• don't let the doggie rip things up;
• try to add a game element to dressing up;
• to consolidate skills, encourage your pet with a treat when he successfully gets used to his clothes;
• no need to punish the dog when it refuses to dress up;
• If you hear a growl of displeasure, put your idea aside and return to the dressing process later.

You must also train your dog to wear shoes step by step. First, put on socks on your pet's legs. For the first time, it will be enough to pull them over the front limbs. Reward him with food for his obedience. When the dog is used to the socks on the front legs, put them on the hind legs.

In order for the choice of clothes for the Spitz to be successful, it is important to consider some details.

• It's good if the outerwear in the form of a jumpsuit and a raincoat is equipped with a pocket. You can put a handkerchief or damp cloth in there to wipe off the dirt.
• There are things with strapsthat allow you to slightly change the size of the product for a growing dog. If your pet is still a puppy, then such a little thing can be very useful for him.
• Clothing doesn't just protect dogs from cold, rain or mud. Sometimes it helps protect the dog from thorns and grass that gets tangled in the coat.
• Bathing lovers robes made of fabrics that absorb water well may be needed. After walking for a short time in this thing, your dog will quickly dry out.
• If you take an animal to the country or to the forest, then put a hat on it. It will protect your dog's ears from dirt and possible injury.
• Turning to the craftswomen-needlewomen for clothes, you can order dog items to match the color of your wardrobe, or even make them from the same fabric. This is another way to demonstrate your delicate taste to others.

Leash and muzzle - these accessories do not belong to clothing, but they are sometimes decorated with decorative elements. For breeds as small as Spitz, leashes should be light and thin, but strong enough. Their length should be 5 meters. The material of such products is nylon, tarpaulin, braid, leather. The carabiner must be fastened so that so as not to tear the pomeranian's coat.

Roulette leash convenient - it easily changes its length, and if you are in a crowded place, you can easily reduce it.

The small nose of a Spitz is not very convenient to hide in a muzzle, but in some cases it is necessary to do this. For example, if a dog tries to bite passers-by, growls loudly, or always strives to eat something, picking up on the ground. Typically, these products are made to measure to order.
