Your dog needs you to care for him in a variety of ways, and you feel that you do a great job of meeting his immediate needs. However, you sometimes wonder about other needs he may have, like for clothing. Should you dress your pet?

It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between a necessary pet supply item and one that would simply be nice to have. While there are a ton of canine clothing items that are simply for cosmetic purposes, there are also a lot that are quite functional. Depending on your lifestyle, they may be necessary for your pet’s safety. For example, your pet may need a life preserver if you spend time near water, a jacket if your neck of the woods gets very cold, or booties if you will be walking on rough terrain.
