Keeping Dogs Warm and Dry

Dogs’ natural coats usually protect them pretty well, but years of living indoors may have made them dislike the elements. No dog likes to have to do his business or take a walk in the pour rain. Just like humans, dogs can be cold and uncomfortable when they get wet, and they would like nothing more to dry off and be warm again. Why not prevent them from getting cold and wet in the first place?

A waterproof dog jacket can help protect your dog from unpleasant rain and snow. Look for one that easily slides onto your dog and secures with buckles, buttons or Velcro. As the summer winds down and autumn rains loom, your dog will need a jacket more than ever. It also helps you a lot, too – no more wet dog smell or your dog shaking his wet coat out all over your house!

Protecting Water Dogs

Protecting Water Dogs

Dogs, unlike people, are natural swimmers.  While some dogs don’t like the water as much as others, swimming is in their genes.  But when traveling on a boat or watercraft, or spending a long time at the beach, it’s important for dogs to be protected in the water.  Dogs become tired much faster than people, and depending on the circumstances, some can fail to realize that they’re tired when swimming in the water.  This is dangerous because a dog can run out to fetch a ball, and then be in danger of drowning because they’re too tired and they don’t realize it, necessitating the use of a dog life jacket.  There are dog life jackets designed to fit dogs of all different sizes, and the jackets can assist in keeping them afloat.  Swimming is an exhausting activity, and a life jacket will ensure the dog remains safe in the water.

When traveling on a boat, it’s also best to have the dog wear a life jacket, as it’s possible the dog could hit their head on something hard as they fell into the water, or become sucked into a wave or wake if they fell over.

Play the Matching Game

There’s no reason why your dog shouldn’t dress just like you. For example, if you have a formal style and like to dress up, outfit your dog in a black bow tie or sequined dress. If you are a sporty-type of person you probably wear baseball caps, so get your dog one that matches yours.

If you are like me then you probably prefer casual wear best. There’s nothing like slipping into a hoodie and sweats after a long day at work. Get a matching hooded dog sweatshirt for your canine friend. That way the two of you can enjoy lounging the evening away.

Pull Back that Messy Hair!

Pull Back that Messy Hair!

I have long hair, so I know how annoying it can be to have hair hanging in your eyes. It’s enough to drive you nuts. The days when you forget to bring a ponytail holder with you are the worst. I can imagine how distracting this would be for long-haired dogs.

Don’t let your dog suffer with hair hanging in his/her face obscuring their vision. Instead, invest in some dog barrettes. Dog barrettes are easy to secure in your dog’s hair and are comfortable for your dog to wear. Don’t let your pup wander around like a ragamuffin, pull their hair from their faces and let them shine!
