When you are looking for clothing for your Poodle, there are a few things to keep in mind aside from just choosing the pieces that look cute or come in pretty colors:
1) Durability
- Just about nothing is worse than finding a cute sweater or top only to have it fall apart after a few uses, have it stretch out after being worn or shrink when washed. So, it's better to have a few quality pieces that you know will last for a while than 20 that must be thrown away.
In addition, some Poodles can become very attached to favorite pieces of clothing, so you'll want ones that stand the test of time and if your Poodle is attached to a certain sweater or shirt, you may want to buy doubles.
2) Sizing
- One of the biggest obstacles that owners of toy Poodles come across is finding clothing for dogs that actually fit tiny toy breeds. You'll want the top to fit snug and never so loose that it interferes with the Poodle's ability to walk, run, jump or move around as he normally does.
For this reason, ahead you will see some select clothing choices that we've found to fit most toy Poodles very well.
