Making Dogs Have Dog Clothing Is Wrong.
I do not think any dogs like wear clothes, but lots of people force their dogs wear something, which they might think its cute or can warm them. I think its wrong, dogs are not human, wearing clothes will destroy their nature.

The only time when we should put dogs in clothes is when it is sub-zero and it's a small, short-haired or hairless dog. All other times, dogs should not be put in clothes because i think it looks pitiful

The poor dogs look so ridiculous. I cannot believe people dress their dogs in those stupid sweaters and have their nails polished and things of that nature. It is a dog, a pet, an animal!

I sure think so.
Yeah some dogs look "cute"
But you don't know how that dog feels. Because he does have feelings. But dogs weren't made to wear clothes. And some people just go way too far.

I totally agree with you. Making a dog wear clothes is dumb. I mean they don't need more warmth! That's what their fur is for. It's just plain out dumb if you ask me.

It’s all these stupid celebrities to blame for the current craze of dressing up dogs. It’s just so brainless to get up a dog in a Gucci outfit and carry it around in a bag like an accessory. Certainly, it’s no life for their pandered pooches.

Once upon a time, the only dogs you ever saw wearing anything more than a daft expression were greyhounds and small terriers. Of course, there was good reason for these breeds to wear jackets.

The greyhound is a racer and needs to be kept warm to avoid injuries. Also, they have short coats and do tend to feel the cold in bad weather. Ditto for tartan jacket wearing Yorkies and terriers, except the bit about racing them.

I totally agree. I think that forcing a dog to put on an anointing 'costume' for human amusement is unfair. Most dogs react to clothing in a negative way. If your dog is an exception then fine let um' wear it but training your dog NOT to pull off or pick at clothing is just plain wrong. If they don't like it why should we force them to wear it?

Dogs, cats or any other pet for that matter is in no need of your assistance when it comes to dressing them up. If you are keeping an animal as a pet and toilet training them probably that is something necessary and wise to do but people who put clothes on their dogs are nothing but absurd.

It is just like inflicting ridicule upon the poor animal simply because it can not speak for itself. Your pets are in your care and abusing their respect and trust by clothing them is inhuman.

I think it's wrong to dress dogs up. It's a silly human fad and not at all fair on the animals.
Having said that if a dog is old and feels the cold a well fitting coat is probably OK if it's for the benefit of the dog not the owner.
Some of the dog clothes on sale now are awful and ridiculous. The poor animals are subjected to hats, gloves, coats and all sorts. I say leave them alone and if you want to dress something up buy a cuddly toy or a doll but don't do it to the dog.
Animals can get very distressed if they're confined by clothes. They were never meant to be clothed. It's not cute and not funny , it's cruel.
Dogs are at our mercy for their care and it's unfair to abuse their trust by dressing them up. The only way they can protest is to become agitated or aggressive and we shouldn't do that to them.

I think Dog clothing is a little sick and ridiculous. Animals were given fur or whatever for the specific reason of keeping them warm or call when required. People who dress up their pets are making them into pseudo-children which is frankly scary in the least! Treating an animal like a member of the family is all very cute but not good psychologically I think, after all, the dog is its masters child and pretending it is, is ignoring a clear sign that the human is lacking or longing for a child of their own.

It is not cute for the animal and if the animal is cold, then you should take the animal somewhere warm. It is almost fetishising animals and clothing, making them little people and treating them like people, I imagine that they have strange friendships with real people, because they cannot control all aspects like they can with their animal.

Personally, I think they need to get a life.

I agree with you. We don’t need to put clothes on dogs. The skin of the dogs can bear extreme cold and heat. They are not humans so they don’t feel like we do. They look great in their natural appearance and clumsy in clothes. You can only put clothes on a dog if the dog is sick or there is too much cold which is unbearable.

Are you seriously suggesting that a naked dog is not living in sin. God gave us ALL nakedness so we could cover it up. Why should the dogs be allowed ti get away with it.

 that's really freaky. Dogs have fur. Animals have fur. Just because dogs don't follow your freakish beliefs doesn't mean they should wear clothes too.

I don’t get any harm if I put a sweater on my dog’s body on a very cold day. I can not stay indifferent if I see my dog shivering in high cold. I don’t find any good in making my dog dressed in a trendy wear and taken to the party. But when my puppy needs the woolen fur to save itself from the trembling cold how I can resist myself. Making a comment is very easy but if when the time comes for implementation no one can be found. What is the real harm in saving life and giving the assurance to a poor creature to feel comfortable by just clothing it with woolen fur or something like that. If we watch the sledge dogs, they need the boots to protect themselves from the snow. Is there any harm you can find?

No, my Dogs are puppy Boston Terriers.. They virtually have 1/8 inch of fur. Once they grow we will take them outside without it.

No! My dog loves his jacket in the winter... He carries it to me when it's time for his walk, he hates the cold! That's just ridiculous! I understand maybe being against designer clothes but if I want to put a sweater or jacket on my dog because it's too cold, and you have a problem with it... TOO BAD HE'S WEARING IT ANYWAYS HAHA!

Cute silly clothing for appearance sake is ridiculous and the perp should be prosecuted for cruelty. But thin coated breeds do need warm coats in very cold weather. Sledge dogs need boots to protect their pads on when working on snow and ice for prolonged periods.
