Dog sweaters are important dog clothing especially during cold and winter season.
Letting your pet stay trap inside the comfort of your home is not the only option to keep your pet safe and protected.
Your pets can enjoy walking around with you without getting cold by wearing their own clothes or sweaters.
Smaller pets need small dog sweaters to keep them cozy and warm even inside the house.
Old canine or any pet who are suffering from arthritis or other health problems need these clothing too.
But getting the right size for your canine can be difficult.
Unlike humans, we have a standardized size.
This is not the case for your canines; different breed of dogs varies in sizes.
So that means accurate measurement of your dog is the key to get the right size for a dog sweater.
There are four measurements needed to be taken.
First you need to measure the length of the body.
In doing this, you need to measure from the base of the dog' neck to the base of its tail.
Then next would be the neck's circumference, just above the dog's shoulder.
Then measure the girth or around the dog's chest.
Then the last thing you need to measure would be the widest point of the dog's chest.
You need to take the measurements when your dog is in standing position.
You cannot get accurate measurements if your dog is lying down or in sitting position.
You can ask help from someone to help you do this, if you cannot do this alone.
It is very important to for dogs to have the right size for a dog sweater.
It ensures comfort.
Your dog would not want to wear small dog sweater that is too tight that they may have a hard time breathing, too large that they may step on it every time they try to walk.
Getting the right size for dog sweaters ensures comfort.
