Chihuahuas tend to get insanely cold in the winter time, and so heavier dog clothing for your pet chihuahuas is a must. It’s not really optional: if you own chihuahuas and you live in a cold climate over the winter months, and you’re also a responsible dog owner who makes the effort to walk your dog every day in the winter time, you need to bundle these little guys up in their sweaters and chihuahua coats, otherwise they just freeze their little buts off. I’m not joking in the least bit, either: if you’ve ever seen a chihuahua in weather that even remotely approximates what you’d consider “cool”, then you know just how much these little hairy cutie pies shiver and shake in the cool weather.
Some of you know that chihuahuas have a very high metabolism that causes their body to shed their body heat very quickly compared to the other dog breeds, and so they cool off very rapidly when they’re not spending time in a hot place like their home country of Mexico. 😉 And if you’re living in a cold place with your chihuahua, forget about it: that’s a recipe for chihuahua popsicle!
So chihuahua winter coats really are a must if you live in the cold. I happen to live in Canada right now. And while living up here with my chihuahuas right now, and when we fly over to the UK to visit friends, I have to wrap my chihuahuas up in their warm chihuahua clothing for the winter just to keep them comfortable. The winter really is not a chihuahua’s best friend!
So I’ve been looking around at the different places you can find cool winter clothes for chihuahuas. One of my favorite spots is G.W. Little. They always have great dog clothes for chihuahuas and the other toy breeds, and their winter chihuahua clothing selection is no exception.
Our very own Chihuahua Shop also carries some of the best chihuahua winter clothes I’ve ever seen, and I highly recommend you at least check it out before buying anything. Some of the latest styles in chihuahua coats and winter sweaters for small dogs have come in over the past few weeks and the customers really seem to be loving them. So head on over there, check the Shop out at the link below, and I’ll back here again soon with the latest news from the crazy, zany, and always fun world of chihuahua clothes! 🙂
