Dog fashion, as a new trend in the design of clothing, was born in the first decades of the XX century. Many sewing workshops were reoriented from clothing for people to clothes for dogs. The first shops and even boutiques for the four-legged mods and women of fashion opened their doors. In them it was possible to dress their pets from the tips of their ears to the tip of their tail.
Fashion for dogs
Now the wardrobe for dogs is formed by an entire industry. Designers of "dog" clothes develop new models, taking into account the anatomical features of individual breeds, the ability to withstand cold, wet weather, a tendency to allergies, diaper rash. Accordingly, fabrics and materials are selected for different seasons, so that the dog does not overheat, but does not chill for a walk. Thousands of small workshops and large factories sew clothing, accessories for tailed dandies.
In the US, Europe, Japan and Russia, there are various demonstrations and demonstrations with real "models" every year. Over their images, a huge staff of professional masters - stylists, hairdressers, and animal trainers.
Even the simplest and seemingly ordinary pet darling can turn into a glamorous creature. To do this, it is enough to visit the salon, where groomers (hairdressers for dogs) will not only pick him up and make a nice haircut, but also make coloring and make a manicure. Some masters will offer to do even a piercing or a tattoo.
A hat or cap, a tracksuit, a tuxedo or an elegant evening dress, necklaces, hair clips, shoes or sandals - everything can be found and bought easily in any city. To regular customers, some sellers make substantial discounts and even supply discount cards.
Do dogs need clothes?
Still, do pets need clothes or this is the whim of the owners? Let's try to figure it out. There are some breeds of dogs that are not adapted to long walks in our climate. This is almost all short-haired dogs that suffer from cold and dampness. For such dogs a warm jacket, a waistcoat, a sweater is a great necessity. Cold winter often can not do without boots. After all, the paws freeze, and the salt, which is sprinkled by the roads at this time of year, can damage the tender pads. Dogs with long hair are also sometimes needed clothes: light overalls and ponples will protect the coat from excessive contamination and damage.
Many people want to dress up their pet. And, proudly raising his head, prodefilirovat past neighbors and acquaintances. It's so unusual, cute, funny and funny when a dog is in clothes. Passers-by turn around, smile, and some pester with questions. In addition, the choice of clothing and style is overwhelming. Love a clear cut and a strict silhouette - please, and maybe you like rhinestones, sequins or laces?
If the dog is against
But just to the taste of all these "gadgets" to your pet? Maybe think about it? A beautiful and fashionable little thing will not cheer you up, if the dog dressed in it will suffer. Despite the fact that clothing manufacturers are trying to make it as comfortable and unobtrusive for animals, some dogs are reluctant to wear things. And some can not be accustomed to this process at all. If the dog does not like it, do not force it and do not torture it.
Clean and Fashion
No dress will transform the dog if she has dirty fur, dirt on her paws, a painful look. To protect the pet's paws from slush and especially corrosive salt (which is generously poured on the sidewalks in winter), before walking it is highly desirable to treat them with wax for paws or a special spray. After the promenade, wash your paw. Also, do not be lazy to wash your dog's hair regularly, comb it out, trim it (it is important for terriers). As a person's clean hair is "more expensive" than the most fashionable hairstyle, and for four-legged members of the family - a beautiful cape triple-winning looks on a well-groomed fur.
