Do you dress your dog in dog clothes?

I was walking down the road today and i saw a staffy with a dog coat on i was just wondering if anybody else does this.

I put coats on mine if they are inclined to feel the cold, which is 4 of them. It is only my Collie/Lab and Greyhound/GSD/Lab that don't feel the cold. When it is raining I put coats on all of them although 2 are thin waterproof coats. Sitting in a caravan with 6 wet dogs isn't very nice but very smelly

ah come on now...we dont have sily paris hilton dogs..i realy think its stupid looking. if my girlfriend had her way she would drees them but thank got she doesnt.

I have voted,' it looks silly. But how silly do i look every night walking him in a big winter coat, gloves, hat and scarff. I must confess, i have been looking for a winter coat for Kano, 38 pounds. I think thats a bit much. He must be freezing love him .

u haven't seen my hat yet

My girlfriend puts coats on her yorkie, i dont thinks the staffs need anything there just to active to be cold on walks.. Although they might look cool with some walkin booooots

There are lots of Staffies round here and in the cold and wet weather they are often shivering but their owners are wrapped up and warm. I prefer to have my dogs warm and me cold if necessary.

Dog coats can be quite macho, TRPD http://petcraftproject.proboards24.com/index.cgi?board=chaos&action=display&thread=1196461096 make plain coloured, camaflarged, checks etc coats that don't make a dog look feminine. They also make collars, leads, harnesses etc and all the profits go to provide these items to dogs in rescues.

This is Ellie, my little Staffy girl in the coat I made for her. She is a little girl and like most little girls looks well in pink

not for me or my dogs......
but some dogs need them and some dont...

i went to look for some of my kids old clothes and tried it to my Contessa, it fits her as she is only small at the moment but the things was my kids are boys....
i dont mind putting clothes on her, i dont also want to hide her beautiful bluey colour.

Well i never ! The missis come home yesterday after going down pets at home and bought a coat. 13 pounds, its green waterproof outside and blue fleece inside. It's a large size and will fit Kano from now until never. He looks okay init, just the strap unserneath is too slack at the moment.
( Pictures to follow )

Well here it is. The first photo of Kano in his coat

Looks like a sherlock homes jacket, all he needs is his hat:D

hahahaha.... he looks snug but

I use coats as well, for sick or old dogs or dogs which are not used to the cold etc.

I don't *dress up* my animals. However, I have a convict suit in which I dress my Pit Bulls every now and then, especially when we do fundraising or try to raise awareness for Bull Breeds.

I do when they go up the garden this time of year,its like a mud pit,Harley rolls them in the dirt

Bumble (APBT) at the Dogs in Distress dogshow with his fosterer where he won first prize (bottom left). I have since rehomed him to Ennis, Co. Clare:

hahaha perfect outfit for a pit.
