Dog Onesies Are Not Only For Making A Fashion Statement

By Carol Edwards


Pet owners are a special breed, and are very well known for spending lots of money to ensure their pets have a wonderful life. Dog onesies could be looked at as an impractical expense considering most have a furry coat, but there are a lot of good reasons that they are very popular! They can certainly make a fashion statement, but they have a practical uses as well, especially in area that are colder in the winter.

A onesie is a one piece outfit that covers the entire torso. Some have long sleeves and some short, and when it comes to canines, they most often have open feet so that the paws are exposed. This is often because they are meant for the animal to wear them when the weather outdoors is cooler, but leaving the paws exposed keeps the material from becoming soiled, wet, or from wearing through. They are often made this way to help the animal maintain grip and balance, especially in climates where sidewalks and roads can become slippery because of ice or snow.

Often the lower area is also left open. This allows the dog to be able to do their business with ease, and is likely preferable for the owner as they would not need to stop and remove the outfit so that the dog could do their business unimpeded. Buttons or snaps are preferred over a zipper as the latter could get caught in the fur and cause pain. Also, the tail is often allowed to stick out the back of the material so that the dog is able to wag it.

Made of many types of material, there is certainly a garment for any occasion. A quick search will turn up all kinds of patterns that can be used to sew, knit or crochet an outfit for a canine of any size. There are also many online shops and brick and mortar pet stores that carry an abundance of styles.

Whether the dog has short fur or has their coat groomed to a shorter length, a onesie can help to keep them cosy when the weather is cold. It offers a warm layer, and can help keep any dog feel comfortable even when the temperature drops.

Of course, sometimes a fashion statement what the outfit is all about. With such popularity, it is certainly easy to find something that works for any taste or occasion. From simple to very detailed, light to heavyweight, there is no end to the options.

Onesies are made in all sizes and shapes. While often thought to be intended for smaller breeds of dog, larger breeds that have a short coat, such as greyhounds or rottweilers, a can benefit greatly by wearing one.

What a great way to spice up a dog's wardrobe and provide the functionality and warmth required in many climates. There is one for every breed and size of dog and it is a wonderful way to show a pet that they are loved. It won't be long before colder weather is upon many places!
