Japanese Pet Clothing

In Japan, even dogs try to keep up appearances. Do you kit your K9 out in clothes? How about folks in your neighborhood?

My dog (Siberian Husky) hates wearing any sort of clothing! She rips whatever you try to put on her to pieces and spreads the mess around to make me sorry for dressing her up. She's cute when she's mad :)

My siberian husky likes to use a bandana in his neck...I think he belives what is kind of superhero or something. He likes that bandana specially the red or the green one. xDD

Dog died couple of years ago... T_T
But the only clothing I got for him was sort of a blankie for the cold.
He'd keep shaking from the cold on winter time, so we got him some stuff to keep him warmer.
I don't think it's a bad thing, but some people just gets too much into it.
Like stuffing lots of perfume and tons of accessories to the point of hurting the dog.
But you know, let's not be hypocrates... most people buys pets as a "thing", and the hard truth is that usually pets are obliged to learn to live with us, and not otherwise.
Most people, even not realizing or admitting it, ends up treating their pets as accessories, toys, or as something you bought to be useful in certain situations, practical or emotional ones.
While I don't like people who considers only their own feeling when it comes to their pets, I also don't like false moralists preaching too much about animal rights.

some of the dog here is wearing some cloth, but hardly see.
This is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. Dogs wearing human clothes is just as bad as humans dressing up as dogs.

I only put a sweater on my puppies when it's really cold out. They hate it though XD
unemployed machinist.. yeah
Dog's wearing clothing is.. ridiculous.. I'm sorry.. I'm full out Darwinian on this.. If the dog wasn't made for the cold.. then it shouldn't be there. Period. And honestly.. it just looks stupid!

Eh, dogs are overrated especially for dress-up. I would much rather get my own dollfie and dress her up. xD
But my wallet won’t allow me either.

there are people that put clothing on their dogs here but its just to keep the dogs warm during the winter

Its not very common around here, but it does happen. I for one would never subject a dog to that.

Whenever I see dogs wearing clothing, I tend to think their owners are pompous and I find it all round weird.

In Australia, most people live in suburbs so dogs tend to not wear clothing due to the large areas they can run about in.
Although when I do see dogs dressed up or pampered, it feels strange.

My dog is normally happy and upbeat... but when I put a sweater on her, she gets depressed so fast. When I take it off, she runs off happily and fast.

My grandpa owns Boston Terriers and when it gets really cold he will put sweaters on them. They don't seem to mind it and don't try and take it off or anything.
Personally, I have a cattle herding dog and putting clothes on her would be ridiculous. ^^;

Dogs are dogs and they shouldn't wear clothes like us humans .
I guess the people who really love there dogs are forcing there dogs to wear clothes as well . ^^;;

The only time I think it is appropriate for your pet dog to wear pants is whenever the female is in heat. hehehe ;P

We'd give the dog a shirt during winter to help with the cold. Shoes are a no no because the dog can't properly sense the floor and keeps tripping.

I might see the occassional bandana or sports jersey but never a full set of clothes on dogs. I own three dogs and never have we been able to put anything on their heads longer than about five to ten seconds ^^ We did manage to put a t-shirt on one of our dogs for about half a day but it was berri cold outside ^_^ I am not a big fan of putting clothes on dogs but that's just me.
Student, Uncle & hopfully a good husband..
Don't see too many around my parts...then again...i wonder do the dogs sweat more with those clothing on....

Animals don't give a damn about fashion. They probably think that we are crazy because we take our 'fur' off.
Student, cutie pie
The dog in the picutre is kinda working it. xD
Some peoples must have really patient dogs, my dog would try to bite me if I tried to put all that stuff on!
But I think the only thing that should be put on dogs is sweaters, (because some dogs need them to stay warm in the colder months.)

I already saw many dogs in clothes, especially in winter. Owners would argue it protects pets from cold...(?) I wonder whether it's true.

Have to admit the dog looks cool but it must haaate it. There are a lot of pet owners around where I live and also in the city. The most I've seen on a dog is either a handkerchief or some sort of top (like a tshirt or jacket) for the purpose of keeping warm. In the winter sometimes I spot dogs with booties on to protect their paws, so cute! My dog hates them, lol, but loves his blanket.

You don't put your pets into clothes, they have something called fur!
The only thing our dog gets to wear is something to protect her from the cold since she is too old now to run around and play like she used to which means that she gets cold quickly. And since Boxers have very short fur she wears something like this, when it gets really cold outside:

Oh and she has to wear dogshoes outside during winter because of the road salt. Dog paws are really sensitive.

She hates these shoes.

Poor dogs, this reminds me of the Spongebob parody where there is a pet's competition and they end up revolting for the ridiculous outfits they are made to wear XD

SO CUTE~~
Little teensy note here but "The dog's bollocks" actually means "The best ever!" (For example: This club is the dog's bollocks! we're coming back tommorrow night!" .. I'm guessing thats not what most think it does, given the majority of the posts are against yet the majority of poll replies are for that option?
I think putting clothing on dogs is a bit of an odd practise myself, though I could perhaps see some sort of thermal blanket type if the cold got well below there natural climate.
