My teacup sized dogs love their sweaters i winter and their t-shirts in summer! Some animals just love to be dressed!

Many years ago I had a sweet little kitten who was born with a hole in her heart.....she was always a frail little girl, and for protection against the cold, I made her a sweater from a woollen sock...with the ribbed top turned back, I could put her collar back on and she looked like she was wearing a polo-necked sweater...I took a few pictures of her in her woolly jumper, so that even though we lost her at just 9 months old, I still have the sweetest memories of her...

I assume the jacket Santa Duck is wearing is not filled with down?

my cat reggie is an older boy, and likes it really a lot warmer than i can stand (i get migraines from the heater). he took a few hours and tried on a dog-sweater (small or medium fits most cats - try the ones without arms or decorative embellishments that they could chew on). he loves it! he's super warm all day, and i (happily) am not getting headaches from the heat being on extra for his older needs. try it if you have a cat like him! petsmart has a good choice. remember to take it off your cat when you are not around, cats wiggle when they sleep and it can get bunched wrong around their arms. i just have it on him when i'm around, because he also needs it off for bathroom breaks ;)
check him out:
peace,

Some animals do get cold and need extra warmth. I had a shitzu and due to skin allergies, I had to keep his hair short. When the temp. would drop outside, and he would need to be walked I would put a sweater on him. I think it's more cruel to walk a very short hair dog outside in temps. of below freezing when I get a coat/gloves/layers of clothing. That being said, I have two large dogs that have thick fur coats that I wouldn't put a sweater on since they don't need it....

Cute, but over the top! I have a small dog that does wear a homemade sweater, but ONLY because he's almost hairless and would freeze! And the duck? Ducks are insulated with tons of fat (which is unfortunately why some people enjoy to eat them), and don't need a coat. The poor thing looks very uncomfortable. I see ducks swimming in half-frozen ponds, while it's snowing, all the time... Cute, but it didn't get me that excited (and dogs usually do). Sorry...
