If you like dressing up your pet then you need to be careful. Animal welfare charities have claimed that forcing pets to wear clothes can be harmful and that in some case there could be grounds to prosecute. Many top fashion designers now produce clothes for dogs but experts have said that clothing should only be put on pets when it is necessary, such as protecting short haired dogs during cold weather. Animal welfare officers have also warned that in some cases dog clothing can cause your pet to overheat and that owners have a duty of care towards their animals. Well I think I am safe here, I would be lucky if I could even get a hat on any of my cats without losing a finger or two.
