🌿 Why Coat Type Affects Clothing Choices

Each breed’s fur serves a different function—and requires different dog clothing styles for temperature control, comfort, and movement.

✔️ Long-haired dogs may overheat with thick fabrics.
✔️ Short-haired dogs need extra warmth during chilly spring mornings.
✔️ Lightweight, breathable materials are ideal for all breeds in spring.
✔️ Fit matters more than ever—avoid matting or irritation.
