It would certainly seem that there are many people that love to dress their pets up for no specific reason at all. It would seem that this has become a fashion within many 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 are actually able to be dressed up are the smaller ones that look a bit like rats on stilts than anything else. Why are people always dressing their pets up?

There are times where people do it for competitions. The problem is that many companies are actually encouraging this by having fashion shows for these dogs.

Dressing up the dog in the winter is okay because sometimes the smaller dogs need a coat to keep them warm or else they will catch a bit of a cold. Really these dogs should never have come into existence as they would be useless without the help of a human.

The RSPCA are against this as well as they are saying that if you go too far it can be counted as being cruel to the animal. This is a very good idea as many people put their dogs in little boots which could of course damage the legs of the animal. 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. A coat can be very useful in the winter, do not go too far and start adding hats and shoes or anything like that.
