Just like you, your pet also needs more protection from cold like those doggie pajamas.
Nights are usually cold and it is always a perfect timing to don her up in those simple yet cozy jammies.
Not all breeds of dogs can keep themselves warm.
Do you ever wonder why Chihuahuas and other small breeds love to curl up beside you or under your couch? You might interpret these behaviours as your pet's way of showing his affection to you or maybe he just want to hide under the couch so he cannot be stepped on while sleeping.
For your information, you got it wrong.
Yes, Chihuahua's are passionate little creatures but the real reason why they want to lie down beside you is because they long for your body heat.
And the reason that they hide under the couch is because it is warm under there.
Unlike the large breeds, the small breeds get cold easily because they have less body mass to keep themselves warm.
The more they get chills if they also have less hair.
Their fur helps to keep the heat retained in their body.
That is why they need extra protection like dog sweaters and doggie pajamas.
Unprotected from cold, your pet can suffer from sniffles and chills.
If this happens, you will have to bring your little canine to a vet for treatment.
You can avoid this incident, if you will take measures to prevent it from occurring.
Some large breeds may also need to be on dog jammies at night especially when their dog house is located outside your house.
Some large breeds also have less hair so they too need extra protection from the cold.
There are times when some nights are unusually colder like during the winter.
Dog jammies and sweaters come in useful during the season.
Aside from keeping your pooch warm during night, dog pajamas helps lessen the shedding of your pet's hair on your bed or on your couch.
