Is it okay to put a sweater on your dog? Here's what the experts say
Although the festive dog sweaters are adorable, warm and ultra cozy, it's important to keep in mind how long your pup should be wearing their new Christmas sweater and if there are any other precautions to look out for. Veterinarian and founder of DOG, Dr. Lisa says it's perfectly fine to dress your dog in a sweater, but only during cold months.
"Avoid using sweaters on dogs during the warmer months as this can lead to overheating," Dr. Chimes said.
Dr. Chimes says she prefers materials like wool, cotton, or bamboo as they're the most breathable. She also recommends dressing your pup in a waterproof outer layer if they'll be venturing out in the rain or snow.
How long should you leave a sweater on a dog?
The general consensus from experts is that you shouldn't leave a sweater on a dog for more than 4-8 hours. If the sweater covers most of their body or is uncomfortable in any way, they should wear it for less time.
"It's always a good idea to take the sweater off at least once a day so that you can check the skin and make sure there are no areas of abrasion, redness, or hair loss from the friction of the sweater," adds Dr.Chimes.
Not only should you remove the sweater and check your pup's skin daily, Dr. Chimes also says it's important to wash the sweater every day or two to minimize odors and reduce the risk of infection.
