Hoodies are arguably one of the most versatile articles of clothing you can purchase for a Chihuahua. Whether it’s summer, winter or any season in between, hoodies can be worn year-round. The addition of a hood is a neat little accessory that can be tossed over your Chihuahua’s head to provide an extra layer of warmth and comfort. When the temperatures begin to start rising, you can take the hood back off to keep them cool. Of course, this is just one of the reasons why they are such a popular choice of clothing for Chihuahuas and other small dogs.
What Are Hoodies Exactly?
Chihuahua hoodies aren’t as common as shirts or sweaters; therefore, some people don’t know what they are exactly. If you’ve never heard of them before, let me give you a quick explanation – basically, hoodies are shirts or sweaters with a hood attached to the top. The concept of a Chihuahua hoodie is pretty much the same as hoodies that we wear.
Depending on how it’s made, you can usually pull the hood off and on with ease, giving it an even greater level of versatility over other types of Chihuahua clothes. When the temperatures are cold in the morning and you have to take your Chihuahua outside to do their “business,” you can pull the hood over their head to help keep them warm. However, once the sun starts poking through and begins to warm up the air, you can take the hood back off.
Things To Look For In a Chihuahua Hoodie
Need a little help choosing a hoodie for your Chihuahua? With so many different styles, sizes and types available, narrowing your selection down to one can prove to be a challenge, especially if this is this their first one. While it ultimately boils down to your own personal preference, here are some of the things to look for in a Chihuahua hoodie:
- Obviously, you’ll want to choose a hoodie that’s going to fit properly on your Chihuahua. Like all pet clothes, Chihuahua hoodies come in a wide variety of sizes to fit any type of Chihuahua, regardless of how big or small they are. Make sure any hoodie you purchase is designed to fit your Chihuahua’s size.
- Pay close attention to the weight and overall thickness of any hoodie you’re thinking of purchasing. If you plan on dressing your Chihuahua up in a hoodie during the semi-warm summer and spring months, it’s a good idea to choose a lighter, thinner hoodie. On the other hand, thicker hoodies tend to work better and offer more warmth during the winter.
- When shopping for a new Chihuahua hoodie, take note of how it goes on their body. Because there are so many different manufacturers who produce them, some hoodies go on in different ways. Unless you want to spend 10 minutes trying to force it on their body, you’ll want to choose one that’s simple and easy to get on; otherwise, it will probably end up sitting unused in their wardrobe.
- The color, design and style of a hoodie is also something that’s worth taking note of. After all, you want your Chihuahua to look their best in their cute new outfit, so take the time to choose a hoodie that compliments their look.
- Last but not least, you need to consider the price of a Chihuahua hoodie. Some of the so-called “boutique” pet stores may try to rip you off by jacking up the price of their hoodies for $30, $40 or even $50 bucks a piece. The truth is that no hoodie should cost this much, which is why the ones listed on our site are generally much more affordable.
Tips on Using Chihuahua Hoodies
One of the great things about Chihuahua hoodies is their sheer versatility. Whether it’s hot, cold or anywhere in between, hoodies can be successfully worn as long you follow some basic guidelines. I can’t stress just how important choosing the right size hoodie is for your Chihuahua. Even if it’s just a size or two bigger than what they need, that extra fabric may rub on their body, causing sores and discomfort. On the other hand, hoodies that are too small can be equally as uncomfortable simply because they are constricting and limit their movement.
It’s not uncommon for some Chihuahuas to be hesitant of wearing hoodies or other types of clothes at first. They may shake nervously or even try to hide in their crate. Even though dressing them up properly doesn’t cause any pain or discomfort, it’s still something they aren’t familiar with, and that’s all it takes to make a Chihuahua nervous. However, you can help calm them down by talking calmly to them, petting them and giving them a treat. As long you bring all of these elements together when dressing your Chihuahua up in a hoodie, they should quickly grow to love their new hoodie.
