Chihuahua Clothes – A Fashion Obsession!<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

When people think of chihuahua clothes<\/em> and shirts and coats for smaller dogs, they’re commonly perceived strongly in the light of fashion over function. How often have we seen Paris Hilton in the media with her teacup chihuahua Tinkerbell dressed up in a fantastically funky chihuahua clothes<\/u> outfits? Many tend to associate Paris Hilton and a lot of the negative aspects of celebrities with the act of dressing your dog in chihuahua clothes, but the reality is there are some very practical reasons for bundling up your pooch in shirts, sweaters, and even little chihuahua costumes, besides making her into a mini K9 fashionista, and they have to do with keeping her warm and comfortable.<\/p>\n

And of course, there’s the much more common reason people dress up their chihuahuas in cute little chihuahua clothes: to make their little chihuahua dogs look insanely adorable! Yes, some of us tend to focus on the functional aspects when dressing up our chiwawa doggies in their cute chihuahua sweaters and chihuahua coats and their other funky clothes for chihuahuas. But from what I’ve seen in the dog owners I’ve met, dressing you chihuahua up in chihuahua clothing and the latest small dog fashion is usually much more about having fun and enjoying watching your little dog run around in articles of chihuahua clothes<\/u> than it is for making her<\/em> comforable and making her<\/em> day, if I’m honest!<\/p>\n

With that said, whether you have a teacup chihuahua, or you’ve got a long haired chihuahua, or maybe you’re a proud owner of a chihuahua rescue dog; clothing your little dog in chihuahua clothes is often a good idea because these little dogs tend to cool off easily and can spend most of their time shivering and shaking if they’re not wearing these little chihuahua clothes designed for chihuahua doggies to keep them warm. A lot of smaller dogs like chihuahuas come from hot climates and so they shake like this and get cold when we bring them into our cool homes in colder environments and we run the A\/C and the fans and we don’t dress our dogs up in chihuahua fashion to not only make them irresistibly adorable, but to make them more comfortable.<\/p>\n

Having shared my home with many chihuahuas (with each chihuahua clothed in little sweaters and chihuahua outfits and t-shirts–and yes, even adorable small chihuahua’s clothing costumes too) over the past few years, even in their native country, Mexico, I’ve found that little dogs with short hair–like many chihuahuas–get cold quite often when they spend time indoors and they’re not moving around and being active, and even the long haired chihuahua does this, too. When we bring them into our more relaxed, indoor lives, even in warmer climates, these little dogs get cold and really prefer (once they’re used to it) wearing their chihuahua clothes and having an extra layer of “fur” or two on their back, to help keep them warm. \u00a0And if you live with your chihuahua dogs in a cold climate, then you know what I’m talking about, and you probably have an entire wardrobe full of chihuahua clothes for them!<\/p>\n

I’ll say that there definitely is a controversy among dog owners surrounding the topic of dressing your dog up in shirts and cute little chihuahua clothes costumes. Many people think it’s insane and ridiculous and that it’s borderline abusive to dress your toy chihuahua up and that you’re damaging their self esteem, and on and on…. And Cesar Millan would have us see us our chihuahuas as dogs first, before chihuahua clothes-clad”cutie pie chi chi”–the personality of the dog–second, and I totally agree with him. But who are we kidding?! Let’s be honest here: we brought these little munchkins into our lives so we could dress them up in chihuahua clothes costumes and make them adorable …while<\/em> taking care of them, hahaha!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are a lot of fashionable clothes for smaller breeds of dogs out there. Take a stroll through your local pet store and you’re bound to find an isle with chihuahua clothes and attire for other small breeds that you can dress your dog up with. And if you search around online, you’ll find vast quantities more of clothes for dogs just waiting to find their way onto the back of your cute little chihuahua and charm everyone you pass by on your walk–I can hear the “oooOOOHHhh, how cute!” voices already!–dressing your chihuahua up can be a lot of fun and it’s a very easy way to star conversations and meet people! \u00a0And by shopping around online and<\/em> in pet stores in your neighborhood, you’ll find everything from cheap dog clothes to more expensive specialty costumes and chihuahua clothes for that special little teacup chihuahua in your life!<\/p>\n

The function aspect of chihuahua apparel has to do with keeping your small\u00a0dog warm. Chihuahuas originate from Mexico, a very warm country, and so they have adapted to live in warmer climates with short, thin hair and a higher metabolism. When we bring them into cooler climates and we don’t clothe them in chihuahua clothes, they tend to find it rather cold and spend a lot of the time shaking, I’m sure you’ve noticed. Even if you live in a warmer climate, they’ll often shake a night when indoors because they aren’t sleeping with a pack of other dogs and are, instead, on the kitchen floor or on a bed without anything covering them. They still find it cold, so the standard wardrobe of chihuahua clothes for most\u00a0owners of these smaller dogs\u00a0includes a sweater to keep them warm, and often two to wear over top of one another to keep that little dog comfortable and toasty warm at night when asleep.<\/p>\n

If you live in colder climates where it gets chilly in the winter, you can even buy heavier chihuahua clothes coats for your chihuahua that have fur and fleece material to further insulate your chihuahua from the elements and keep him\/her comfortable when walking outdoors. Also, you can buy raincoats if you live in rainier place to keep the material from absorbing water, to keep poochy warm.<\/p>\n

No matter what you purpose in buying chihuahua clothes<\/a>, be it to clothe your chihuahua in a little hoody or sweater\u00a0to keep him warm, or to dress him up in a cute little costume and get your K-9 fashion freakshow on, have fun with it! You can keep your little puppy warm and comfortable and make him look adorable! That’s part of the fun!<\/p>\n

Chihuahua Clothes: Why Dog Owners Dress Their Chihuahuas In Them<\/h2>\n

Many of the dog owners I talk to who dress up their chihuahua dogs in chihuahua clothes do so because it makes their little dogs look cute and adorable. Some of owners buy the chihuahua jumpers and hoodies to help keep their chiwawa pups warm at night or when out on a walk when the weather isn’t cooperating; but I speak to many more people who shop around at the online chihuahua boutiques and the Chihuahua Shop in order to find chihuahua clothes and small dog costumes, and other cute, superficially appealing clothing for their little dogs than I do to those who are looking for the more practical type of chihuahua clothes.<\/p>\n

Of course, some chihuahua owners not only buy chihuahua clothes and outfits, but also designer chihuahua accessories for their little dogs, like customized chihuahua puppy collars<\/a> and chihuahua jewelry. These small dog items take the whole notion of dressing up your little dog to the next level, allowing chihuahua owners to dress their puppies in a look that is completely tailored to the chihuahua’s personality and that adds to the chihuahua clothes the owner has already picked out for their little dog to wear.<\/p>\n
