Dressing Pets- No, No, No

There are many people out there that are dressing their pets up for no reason at all which is quite bizzare. In many ways this has turned into a bit of a fashion amongst dogs. The celebrity that is famous for doing this the most has to be Paris Hilton as she is always buying her dog Tinkerbell expensive gifts and clothes. The problem is, how far is too far and should it be allowed at all?

The opinon that I have on this is that if you are going to dress a dog up then you are wasting your time because the dog could be injured in the process. The only dogs that people tend to dress up are the small ones that look more like small rats than a proper dog. So why are people so obsessed with dressing their pets up?

Many people will give this a go for a competition. The problem is that many companies are actually encouraging this by having fashion shows for these dogs.

However there are many people that dress their dog in coats because it can get very cold in the winter and if you have a small dog then that is perfectly acceptable. Really these dogs should never have come into existence as they would be useless without the help of a human.

The RSPCA are also arguing that going too far with this could result in some charges against cruelty to animals. This is certainly understandable as boots for a dog could not only make it look stupid but cause its legs some serious damage. Before you know it the pet could have to have one of those vet referrals for something like animal dermatology or even animal ophthalmology.

The best advice is to sit down and think long and hard about whether or not the poor animal actually needs any of these stupid clothes. Although a coat can benefit the dog in the winter, hats and shoes will not so do not use them.
