So I have a puppy, a golden retriever puppy to be exact and I need to figure out how to get a sweater on him without traumatizing him. I will be walking him early in the morning and it gets chilly, I also might be traveling with him during the holiday's and we will be going to Chicago which is a lot cooler than Houston and I need to be prepared to put something warm on him.
I have been told that in Houston where I live it might not be necessary to put a sweater on him but to purchase a rain coat. So what I know is that I should start slow and make him comfortable before trying to put the sweater on him, once he is comfortable I can gently slide on paw in at a time with no forcing.
Lightweight materials work best for first timers since thick fabrics I guess can make them feel restricted. I have to be careful what kind of sweater I choose because the fabric cant be itchy or shed otherwise it will annoy him I am sure, also I have heard if its too lose he could pee in it which would be problematic if I am hand washing his sweater every day.
I was wondering if there are exclusive outlets for pet clothes that I can just visit without having to look around at a bunch of different websites, I looked at sites like Amazon, and Alibaba to get an idea of what is available but an online store that sells exclusive dog clothing would be great. Any suggestions?
