Searches for Christmas jumpers for dogs have increased by 284% this month but a vet has warned of the dangers of dressing your pet for Christmas. Head Vet at tails.com Sean McCormack has warned that certain fabrics can be irritating and itchy to the skin, and that tight materials can be restricting in movement for your dog.
Sean has shared which fabrics should be avoided, how to recognise the signs of skin irritation and how to spot when clothing fits your dog incorrectly to ensure your pet is happy.
Sean said: “With Christmas day fast approaching, it can be more tempting than ever to dress up your furry friend and get them to pose for a photo. As cute as it might look on Instagram, many dogs do not actually enjoy wearing jumpers, while others may be irritated by certain fabrics the clothes are made from.
