People are obsessed with dressing up their small dogs in clothes. In todays society you will often find dogs wearing something other than a collar; such as a collar charm or clothes. Most people who dress up their dogs in cute clothes or collar charms do not do it for functional reasons. They just do it for the joy of doing it. We love to see the designer styles that come out every season or are excited about the new poochy shoe trends. Children change our lives when we have them. Parents make sure that their children have what is in style. This does not make us heros because they have to have clothes and shoes. It makes you wonder why we put clothes on our pooches when it is not necessary.

Pet owners dress there little dogs for a variety of reasons in small dog clothes. As stated earlier, functional reasons do exist for dressing up our dogs, which range from protection from extreme weather to protection from the sun. This is not the top reason that we dress our pooches. There are four main reasons that people dress up their dogs in tiny dog clothes. Some people may dispute these reasons but they are not at all negative.

Reason one: The most obvious reason is because they are just so darn cute! There is no disputing that a small pup in an adorable little dress or a pair of shorts is adorable.

Reason two: A dressed up dog can be an attention getter. This is not meant to be negative. Dressing our dog up when we take them out for a walk in the park can make for great start up conversation. People love being complimented. We also love for our child to be told they are cute. Why not our beloved pooch?

Reason three: Some pet owners use their dogs as an accessory to their own outfit. Dogs make quite nice accessories because we can change their carrier, clothes, shoes and hair bows.

Reason four: Clothes can express how we are feeling! We can say so much about ourselves by what we wear. The same can be said for what dogs wear. We can express ourselves or the personality of our pooch through the dog clothes that we at owners choose for our pets.

People enjoy dressing up their pets and there is no question that this trend will continue. The only things that will change is the fashion itself.
