For dogs, they are also afraid of the cold in winter, so many parents have purchased special clothes for their dogs in winter, which can not only help the dog keep out the cold but also keep the dog warm Dogs are more beautiful, but for dogs, it is not necessary for all dogs to wear clothes, because they have passed various tests of nature without clothes and have lived to this day, but for those old and weak dogs It is still necessary to wear clothes because of their poor physique. The following will also introduce you under what circumstances do you need to dress your dog.

1. pets own thermostatic ability

Experts It is believed that in the changing seasons, owners are worried about pets freezing, and will dress them, wear hats, and even wear shoes, in fact, this is not necessary.

Pets have two biological abilities. One is its own cleaning ability. For example, shaking the fur is to remove dust and debris from the body; combing the fur is to comb away dead hair and stimulate hair follicles; licking the feet is to test the sensitivity of peripheral nerves, and licking the secretions between the index fingers is to promote the intestinal synthesis of vitamins; To clean up genital secretions is to use saliva to sterilize and so on.

The other is thermostatic capability. With the change of season, temperature and sunshine length, the density and length of pet fur will be automatically adjusted to maintain the constancy of body temperature, thereby ensuring the stability of its immune system.

From this point of view, the clothing, shoes and hats worn on pets have become their shackles, and even a catalyst for disease. After wearing clothing, shoes and hats, pets cannot give full play to their own cleaning ability and constant temperature ability, thereby reducing immunity and even causing pets to rely on clothing, shoes and hats. Once it accumulates to a certain extent, or if the clothing, shoes and hats are not worn properly, it is possible to develop the disease.

If the owner must dress up the pet, the dressing time should be shortened as much as possible.
