ACL surgery is very common among pit bull-type dogs and our pajamas fully cover the knee to help aid in healing. Depending on the area of surgery, clothing may be your answer for replacing the lampshade during recovery. I’m sure you have been introduced or tortured by the “cone of shame.” Some dogs find these absolutely terrifying because they block their natural range of vision and make loud noises. Having a breathable, lightweight layer helps act as a barrier from environmental allergens like dust, pollen, and spores to help reduce the allergen contact with their skin. Most pit bull-type dogs and mixes suffer from environmental allergies, and not just seasonal ones.
It’s very common for me to find my 90-pound pit bull curled-up shivering indoors during the winter, but giving him an extra cozy layer makes all the difference.Īllergies.
Depending on where you live and the temperature you keep your home, they may need an extra layer to help keep themselves warm. Pit bull-type dogs have a single layer coat and are typically nakey on their bellies. And there are a lot of functions they can serve! You may ask yourself, “does my pit bull need clothing?” Here are some of the top reasons your pit bull may need clothing.Ĭold Weather. I’ve always believed that dog clothes should be cute, personable, comfortable, and-most importantly-FUNCTIONAL. Have you ever tried to buy your pit bull a sweater from a local store only to find them like this… fat man in a little coat.Įither too long, not stretchy enough, terrible fit, poor quality fabric (or just ugly), the list goes on. Making functional dog clothes over the years (click here to read how we started), I carefully tested and acquired hundreds of measurements from pit bull-type dogs and mixes to create our size range. Of course, there were some people who thought it was totally unnecessary and may have even called you crazy (that’s a compliment BTW )). I didn’t have an informed opinion until I grew up and got my own dog, who desperately needed something that would fit her AND do something for her many special needs. I would typically see smaller dogs rocking a sweater, and I’d squeal with excitement and laugh into an obsessive stupor. I remember when I was younger, I thought dogs wearing clothes was hilariously adorable, like a novelty to be appreciated by those with an advanced sense of humor.
