Does your Chihuahua need a sweater? Well, yes. Although Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, and other cold-weather breeds with dense coats may be just fine in the winter, our Chihuahuas are not. Even long-haired Chihuahuas could use an extra layer of protection during the cool fall and cold winter weather.
Even in the summer while the air conditioner is running, what is just right for you may be too cold for your Chihuahua who is close to the ground where cold air settles.
My Chihuahua Won’t Wear Clothes or Sweaters
Anything that is new or a first-time experience is scary to them. They don’t naturally wear clothing so it is new and feels funny. It does not harm your Chihuahua — or any dog, for that matter — to put clothes on them. What does cause harm, however, is trying to force them to wear clothes.
Anything that is a new experience to them should be introduced to them gradually. If approached in a calm, upbeat and gradual way, you Chihuahua will see that it is nothing to be afraid of and may come to enjoy showing off in his or her new sweater!
