Do you put clothes on your pets?

^ ^ I would also like to find a bandana to fit her, because she drips water everywhere when she drinks. A bandana might catch some of the water.

My dog is either a whippet or Italian greyhound cross (we aren't totally sure) and has short fur and a lean body type. She's also only 20 lbs. We live in California now, so it's not something we worry about here, but in colder climates we put a dog sweater/jacket on in the winter her because she starts shivering. Obviously we would not if she were a larger dog that was bred to withstand cold.

No...one of her collars has a bow that is attached to it (permanently) but that's the extent of it. She freezes up and won't walk a step with any kind of shirt on. She's a corgi, so she also doesn't really need it because her fur is thick with an undercoat.

She looks very preppy in it. Being that when I take it out she wags her tail, and after it's on she's not pawing at it trying to get it off, I don't think it's animal cruelty.

Her sweater doesn't cause her any pain, and none of her dog friends shun her when they see her wearing it, so it's not causing her emotional pain.

Perhaps since you come from another country, English is not your first language and you do not truly know what "animal cruelty" means? Here are examples of animal cruelty:

1. Kicking a dog
2. Shooting a BB gun at a dog
3. Starving a dog

Putting a sweater on a shivering dog is not animal cruelty in any sense of the term.

+1. My dogs have thick coats and enjoy the cold so they don't need anything extra (I get sick of the cold long before they ever would). However, calling it "animal cruelty" when people do put clothing items on their pets? Give me a break.

I would love to put clothes on my cats, but unfortunately, they would attempt to scratch my eyes out.
