Dogs in Jumpers: 12 practical knitting projects

Product Information

Please note some of our ‘National Colours’ McTogs use a combination of the above – the listing will specify the material used. Some dogs might even have an allergic reaction to the jumper. It could be the fabric itself that causes irritation, or the products that the jumper has been washed in. Watch out for the following signs, and always take the jumper off immediately if you spot any: Unsurprisingly, we discovered that the overwhelming majority (90%) of respondents thought that all kinds of novelty clothing for dogs should be designed to consider the dog’s safety, comfort and happiness. We recently conducted a survey with 4,833 Animed customers to ask their opinions around dressing up dogs. For this survey, we defined dressing up dogs as using novelty clothing that is purely for fun, such as Christmas jumpers, dog bow ties or dog headbands. Our definition did not include items intended to protect dogs from the weather such as coats, raincoats or foot protection, or items such as Thundershirts. It’s got 12 of the best patterns from the first book with several for small headed, deep chested, pointy nosed hounds! A couple if you have a Dachshund who demands a stylish jumper and some that will fit small dogs such as the Bedlingtons. Every pattern has a Pawability rating – one paw for easy, three for the more difficult.

The Patchwork Blanket is a great way to get yourself introduced to some of the knitting techniques that are used for the jumpers and also a good way to use up your stash of wool!!

We know that novelty Christmas clothing isn’t for everyone, so we wanted to hear more about what our Animed customers thought when it came to their pets! Don’t leave your pet unattended when they are wearing clothing. This way you can monitor their behaviour and watch out for signs that they are uncomfortable or getting hot. You’ll also be there to help in case the jumper gets caught on something. Each jumper is comfortable for your pup to wear for long periods of time, as they have no pressure points or straps. This allows you to get out and about with your canine companion in tow no matter what the weather is doing for as long as you like. Each jumper features a generously sized opening for your dog’s head, as well as openings of their legs.

It’s important to note that while most dogs will let you know they are uncomfortable, this is not always the case. Irritation can sometimes be hard to spot, and the behaviour each individual dog may exhibit can vary. Allergic Reactions As we all get into the festive spirit, many owners are eager to dress their pooch up in an adorable Christmas jumper. But is it ok to dress your pet in a Christmas jumper? What do pet owners need to consider? As we’ll discuss in this article, it’s important to always put the health and happiness of your pup first. To help you do just that, read on for our Dog Christmas Jumper guide, so that you and your furry friend can enjoy the festive season together! Should Dogs Wear Christmas Jumpers? Don’t let your dog wear the jumper for extended periods of time. Even if your dog doesn’t seem to show any signs of discomfort, they still shouldn’t wear any kind of novelty clothing for too long. Even if you don’t spot any of these signs in your dog, they still shouldn’t wear a Christmas jumper for too long. Materials to Avoid in Christmas Jumpers for Dogs
