Small dog clothes – The serious part (it may be fun as well)
Indeed, it is no secret among human beings that the heavy are far more resilient to bad weather conditions implying cold, rain, wind or snow. Anything that endangers our ability to maintain our body temperature in fact. The drawback being for heavy people that they surely suffer in hot summer times.
Small dog clothes for protection.
So, not surprisingly, we assume small dogs as being more sensitive to the cold because their bodies are sometimes so tiny there is not even enough room to put fat on.
Well I must say I haven’t seen much chihuahuas or yorkies that appeared overweighted. Another reason would be that small dogs are in general quite swift and more dependent on their nerves, so that do not facilitate fat formation. We all have the image of our good old big calm dog. Quiet doesn’t that often qualify small dogs.
So be it. Small dog clothes exist because small dogs need those more than big ones. Maybe that is the reason why I see more dressed small dogs having a walk with their masters anytime I go out, compared to bigger ones running along their jogging masters.
