Cold wintry days and nights call for protection against the harsh and inclement weather. Sometimes, the days are so bad that you need something to protect your much-loved pet and keep him warm and feeling secured.
Dog sweater is the perfect answer for all this and they come in several sizes – large dog sweater, small dog sweater, sweater made of fleece, wool, colorful, and even designer wear. In fact, there are even pull-on sweaters that are meant for your pet dog and they can wear it while lounging around after a particularly wet day outdoors. Most of the times, the usual design consists of a collar and has large holes where the legs would come in and also a clothing to cover the dog’s rear end.
The length and the width depends on the size of your pet and usually these parts are made of fleece (which is stretchable) but this also means that the design inherently makes it difficult to put it on or take it off. These are good for medium-sized and smaller dogs and for large dogs, but the common advice is to use a coat-style pattern which is something like a blanket that stretches across the back and has straps that close under the stomach and also, stretches all across the body.
Not only this, you can even get proper knits which are chequered and come in bright colors. They sport a trinity stitching pattern and also, cable panels are done and the amazing part of these are is that the body, neck shape, belly band, trim, collar, front-edge button band and belt are made by hand or machined differently. They also come in different colors and use different cloth material and designs.
Large dog sweaters come in woolen, sweater with fake sheepskin, inners lined with fleece and ply-knits and any other material that has the capacity to keep you warm. So depending on the likes of your pet and what they are comfortable in and enjoy, you can choose from a range of different sweaters.
Contrary to popular opinion, large dog sweater can be fashionable and it’s not necessary to be in drab colors. In fact, some of them consist of one strand of Win-knit and super-Mohair and your choice of the yarn – whatever suits your budget and keeps the pet comfortable.
In fact, sometimes, it’s fun if you know how to knit; then you can create magic yourself by making colorful sweaters and you will see your dog wagging his tail delightfully as soon as you put it on for him.
