These 12 Dog Pajamas Will Make Your Pup the Star of Any Slumber Party
A dream come true for the pup who lives to snooze or lounge (and don't they all?), pajamas for dogs check all the boxes. They're comfy and cozy, fun and fashionable, and are designed to keep your pooch warm during colder times of the year.
When temps drop, it can be hard for puppies, dogs with short (or no) coats, dogs with little body fat, older dogs, and dogs with health issues to retain enough body heat on their own to stay warm. Pajamas provide an extra layer of insulation that helps them do that.
Does Your Pup Need Dog Pajamas?
Dogs with thick coats usually generate and retain enough body heat to stay warm on their own, so pajamas may cause some dogs to become overheated. Keep an eye on your pup when he's sporting his new jammies to make sure he's comfortable. And if your pup doesn't like wearing clothes—skip 'em! No need to force your pup into a situation he's not comfortable in.
How to Correctly Measure Dog Pajamas
To determine the correct pajama size for your pup, measure his neck, length and girth with a soft measuring tape while he's standing. For neck girth, remove his collar and place the tape around his neck where the collar normally sits. For girth, measure around the deepest part of his chest. For length, measure along his back from the base of the neck to where the tail begins. Sizing specs vary by manufacturer, so compare their sizing guide to your dog's measurements.
