Keeping Small Dogs and Puppies Warm During the Winter Months
Tuesday 06th of February 2007 09:32:00 PM
For those who own small dogs or puppies, keeping them warm during evening walks when they are playing outdoors in the yard, sweaters, mittens, and hats can be expensive and many dogs do not like wearing them. One alternative is to keep them indoors, but another is to recycle old sweatshirt sleeves and make warm sweaters for them.This is very easy to do and will cost nothing when using old sweatshirts, sweaters, and long-sleeve polo shirts. By cutting the arms off and making sure they are the same length as the dog, cutting holes for the dog’s legs is not difficult. Make sure the holes are big enough so the dog’s legs will fit comfortably. Since polo shirtsand sweatshirt fabric is thin, but retains heat, dogs should not have too much trouble wearing it. If the dog has a long tail, make a hole for the tail after trying the sweater on the dog.
Instead of spending money on fancy dog sweaters, making sweaters out of polo shirts and sweatshirt material in a variety of colours will allow owners to mix and match outfits for their dog. As the dog grows, owners will have to buy dog sweaters that will fit properly, but for the time being recycling old clothing will do the trick. Saving the sweaters and giving them to others will make a nice gift.
By recycling old clothing, replacing a torn or dirty sweater is no longer a big deal. If the dog rips the sweater, the garment can be easily replaced.
Old polo shirts and sweatshirts will help keep puppies and small dogs warm during the winter, which will help them avoid colds and other problems that can occur. Dog sweaters can also be washed easily by placing in the washing machine.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
