There is now a massive variety of clothes available to buy for your new puppy.  You can buy anything from fun outfits for holidays and celebrations like Christmas and Halloween to posh dresses and waistcoats for weddings and birthday parties.  However, most people aren’t really interested in fancy clothes but instead want practical puppy clothes that will give some benefit to the dog himself.

The most popular of all these clothes are puppy coats and jackets.  Specially designed to provide warmth and comfort in cold weather they are made from fabric that gives good insulation, often with a fleecy inner lining.  If you live in an area with high rainfall then you would probably be best advised to buy a waterproof coat so that he doesn’t end up with a coat that gets wet and then cold.

Another type of puppy dog clothes that people find useful are pyjamas for those cold nights when the temperature drops and you don’t want to end up with a puppy in bed with you!  They are even more useful if your dog sleeps in an outdoor dog kennel where you want to keep him as warm as possible.

If you live and walk your dog in an area with limited street lighting then you may worry about passing vehicles being aware of your presence.  One solution to this problem is to buy a reflective dog jacket.  This way the beams of the car’s headlights will reflect back to the driver, alerting him to your existence.

If your dog has very fine, light-coloured fur then he may suffer from sunburn during the hot summer months.  If this is the case then you would be well advised to buy a couple of t-shirts for him to wear when you go out for walks in the heat of the day.  This will give him the extra UV protection that he needs.
