Pet Shop Haven

There are many people out there that are dressing their pets up for no reason at all which is quite bizzare. In many ways this has turned into a bit of a fashion amongst dogs. Paris Hilton is easily the most famous celebrity that does this as she is always buying her dog Tinkerbell new clothes for it to wear. How far before what you are doing to this pet actually goes beyond being nice and turns into being a bit cruel?

Well my personal opinion is that clothes on a dog look ridiculous and just make the dog look unnatural and stupid. The only dogs that people tend to dress up are the small ones that look more like small rats than a proper dog. Why are people always dressing their pets up?

There are times where people do it for competitions. Believe it or not there are actually a lot of fashion shows for the dogs and their clothes, its pretty sad really.

Dressing up the dog in the winter is okay because sometimes the smaller dogs need a coat to keep them warm or else they will catch a bit of a cold. All of these kionds of dogs would not be able to survive in the wild which could be why the people dress them up, they are more like fashion accessories than pets to many people.

There is an argument by the RSPCA that going to far is actually cruelty to the animal. This is a very good idea as many people put their dogs in little boots which could of course damage the legs of the animal. Before you know it the pet could have to have one of those vet referrals for something like animal dermatology or even animal ophthalmology.

The best advice is to sit down and think long and hard about whether or not the poor animal actually needs any of these stupid clothes. A coat can be very useful in the winter, do not go too far and start adding hats and shoes or anything like that.
