Of Course it is wrong, People that say "Ohh it keeps them warm", BOLLOCKS. They have hair for that
purpose, Why do you think in summer they lose their hair. It is un-natural, When a dog takes a piss
or a shit are they going to undo their jeans? Lol? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes It is wrong |
| |
|
| |
|

Yup i agree 100 percent. If you don't like the way your animal looks when you get ti you shouldn't
of brought it |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes they do not like it at all they bark and fight to get it so that should tell you something |

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! |
| |
|
| |
|

|
|
|
Its terrible!!!! It should be illegal |
| |
|
| |
|

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. |

There is absolutely nothing wrong with dressing up your animals. If the clothing is not tight or
visibly uncomfortable to the animal then why can't humans put a dress on their cat or let's say a
snuggie on their dog? If the human can visibly tell that the animal is uncomfortable then yes it is
wrong. But if your animal is comfortable then they will most likely not mind. The main question is
though, how far to go? There are definitely limits of how far to go. If you do go to far, then it is
almost cruel to the animal. But as far as once in a while dressing them up for amusement in clothing
that is comfortable, I'm all for it. |

MG this i no reason to debate!!!!! Studies have shown tat even tho the clothing might make the dog
sweat, but it actually keeps them kool! Plus, itz fashionable! |

I have a malamute and she has no problem staying warm but i have her wear dog mittens in the winter
to protect her paws from the salt and wear sunglasses in the car when she sticks her head out the
window to protect her eyes from the wind. I think if the dog needs a sweater to stay warm because
its fur is shorter or its not accustomed to the cold its OK, but dressing them up all the time for
fun or fashion is pointless and degrading for the dog. |

If it is cold out and the dog is not able to regulate body temperature due to age, breed or illness,
there is a good reason for a sweater or doggie coat. The boots they sell protect the delicate pads
dogs have from the salt we put on side walks and roads when it is icy or when it snows. Also, with
all of the truly abusive things I have witnessed people doing to their pets, I have to say that
someone that loves their dog and finds it cute to put a shirt on the dog, isn't doing harm. I don't
think it should be done if the animal is fearful or obviously upset by it, but I have not seen this
to be the case in the year I spent working at a vet. I do agree that dogs look beautiful naturally,
but it is a matter of preference here. Some people find it cute. Others find is stupid. I did put
sweaters on my dog when she was a puppy because she was unable to keep her body temperature
regulated without one when she was out for a walk to learn to use the potty outside. A breed that I
know needs to be covered in the cold months is a greyhound. They have very lean muscle mass and
almost no fat. They do not have adequate insulation from the elements. The biggest point here
though is that people hit, kick, tie their dog out to spend their entire life as an outdoor dog,
train them to fight, starve them, deny them adequate vet care, do not vaccinate and then, do not
want to treat the illness that results....the list goes on and on. If someone wants to raise
concern for dogs that have the misfortune of an owner who is irresponsible, abusive or neglectful,
clothing isn't the argument that will demonstrate that. Too many big issues out there concerning
dogs and their owners. |

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dog has a whole bunch of cloths, does that mean I'm a bad owner? And dog cloths protects them
from bad weather. Also, they look so cute! |

Some dogs need clothes to keep there body temperature up in colder climates. I have a havense puppy
and he needs boots and a sweater for the winter time because his fur is too thin. And who cares if
people dress there dogs up, does it really matter. |

Do you think we would toughen up if we didn't ware our cloths?
Some of the dogs that ware garments need them as they are so far removed from the rugged wolves
their fore bearers were. |

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. |

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. |

And what about winter?? They are cold!
Let's put clothes to every animal in every cold country! |
