Clothes for dogs

Perfectly ok or another sign that the human race is done for?

I can’t say I’m bothered either way. It does show how much more disposable income we have as a nation now though than even thirty or so years ago.
Priorities ensured there wasn’t the capacity to spend on half the rubbish we spend on today. And that applies to all so called ‘classes.’
I was smoothing caviar eye cream on my lids last night, nobody was doing that in FY2 thirty years ago ☺️
 
A good quality collar, harness and ID tag is all a pup needs. That said my Mrs is continually looking at neckerchiefs, fleece coats and other needless stuff. As long as the dog doesn't mind, it really doesn't matter, although I wouldn't want to be seen walking a dog with a jacket and booties on!! 😂
 
With two very hairy dogs, out in all weathers and living in a flat, we have made to measure waterproof coats for them, then only the legs and underneath needs drying. Pictures of human style clothes on dogs, we find distasteful.

Edit to add, we have got a set of dog boots, purely for use if the snow balls up in the Goldie's feet. She doesn't mind them but they fall off easily. Even with all our snow this year, she hasn't needed them.
 
Dogs wearing clothes / jackets / waterproofs is embarrassing. Poor dogs. People "humanising" them. The dog species has thrived over millions of years without folk putting a wetsuit on them. (Cringe)
 
I’ve got a waterproof for our dog which is of some use & a small coat that also doubles up as a barrier to what he decides to roll in (which has usually come out of something’s arse) I must add there are some ridiculous costumes for want of a better way of describing them. This is the first dog I’ve had that’s had anything apart from a collar & lead, think my wife started it when he was tiny with a Christmas jumper. TBH he doesn’t seem bothered & neither am I.

Where was the picture taken? Looking for walking routes when allowed.
 
I've never seen so many dogs in push chairs as I saw in Keswick the summer 2019.

Something seriously wrong with dogs, in tweed, being pushed around by humans.

Is that up Whernside by any chance?

Edited, sorry, should have read the whole thread. Those enormous stones give it away
 
On my walk the other day saw a dog with a tangerine coat on ( with legs) it looked great. I was too shy to ask for a picture!
 
This thread has turned to anarchy.

It’s clearly a ‘Yes or No’ scenario, like racism, gender or whether God exists. You either support the notion or dogs wearing clothes and accept your part in humanity being one giant moronic fart or you want people who dress dogs in clothes round up and shot.

There’s no middle ground or fluid option. This is not about your pub drink of choice depending on the seasons, who you’re with and who’s paying or whether you find Sue Barker alluring or repulsive based entirely on the Question of Sport guests.

I take full responsibility for this shit show. I should have used the poll feature. It’s what it’s there for after all.

No worries, just got a quick view of The Ribblehead Viaduct in the distance when 2 minutes from the summit & the clouds came down, I love that area & can't wait to be able to get out in the caravan again. It drizzled all the way down & whilst it wasn't really cold my hands seized up & I had to use both hands to turn the key to start the car & thaw out.
 
My Charlie who’s past 10 now and has a bit of arthritis, has a waxed cotton coat for the the cold and wet winter walks, nothing to do with looks or so called fashion ,but keeps the cold and wet at bay in his senior years
