Dog clothes - where do you shop?

[kval07]

I love to dress up my two boys in little sweaters, tshirts, and hoodies. The hoodies are my favorite. So cute!

I have never found anything cute at Walmart or Meijer. Petco-my dogs will go naked before I pay $20 for a shirt. I do shop the clearance at Petsmart though. My stepmom's daughter works for some pet distributor and sends her stuff all the time at cost, and she just pays shipping. She sends her clothes, but she never knows what she's going to get until it is in her hands.

So where do you buy clothes for your dog, either online or in the store? I am not looking to spend an arm and a leg either. On the yorkie forum I am on, these ladies spend $50-$100+ on ONE OUTFIT for their dogs. I love my dogs, but not enough to spend more on clothes for them than I do on myself, lol.

I also shop clearance at Petsmart. I would love to know some more places to get some inexpensive clothes for Duff for this winter..... oooh and he likes to dress up for Halloween, too. (and by he, I mean I, and when I say likes, I mean he doesn't eat his costume lol!!!)

Chester loves to dress up. You can tell my his facial expression in some of these pictures, lol. He is a sport though. He doesn't squirm or anything, and he has only chewed up one shirt, in the very beginning. (It's okay, I got it at Target's dollar spot, another place I am always looking for cute shirts.)

I love the red/white sweater. He wore that in our family pictures last year. Cutest thing ever. He went as a pirate for Halloween last year. I also love the Underdog costume with the little cape. So cute when he is running around the house like a wild banshee. The white Holt Rams sweater at the very bottom came from a teddy bear.

And I lied in my OP, lol. The red/white sweater was from Walmart, and the Underdog costume was from Meijer. Normally those stores aren't too impressive for me though.

My daughter and I love to dress up our dog Checkers who is a 4 1/2 yr old male Shi Tzu in a variety of clothing.

Unfortunately, Checkers some of the time has been subjected to wearing clothing from Build a Bear! Fairy wings, dresses with lace, that's the price he pays for having a 12 year old girl as his sister! You get the picture.... He is very good natured about the fact of wearing girls clothes and my husband says he will develope and identity crisis if we keep this up!

On a more serious note, we just bought Checkers a really cute "boys" shirt at Target. The shirt was $8.99 which to me is reasonable. Your best bet is checking out Target. I always see nice things in there, but they are either way too small or way to large. I've also found it's worth looking @ the clearance dept. at some of the pet chain stores.

I too have been dismayed at the price of doggie clothing, so if anyone come across
any additional places with reasonable prices, please post it here!

Hope this helps!

Kval, Chester is very cute. I had an issue when first shopping for Duff because the person who I got him from said he was a yorkie/ chihuahua mix and judging by his parents he shouldn't get larger than around 10 pounds.... well - he's actually 18 pounds and such a big boy for what is supposed to be a small dog lol!!! So he grew out of most of what he had. Luckilly, at a year and a half old I do think he is done growing now. I stopped buying him stuff for awhile since he just kept growing out of it!

I wonder what he will be for Halloween this year..... he was a ladybug last year.

PetEdge.com has great prices, wholesale clearence store in MA too.

Depending on his size, baby/preemie clothes are always the cutest outfits, places like Toys R' Us and Babies R' US have great clearance sections.

I've seen some things clearanced at Target, but the doggie shirts are mostly girly outfits with too much sparkles for my taste.

Thanks. I really really love showing him off.

I don't know what Chester will be for Halloween this year. Better start looking!
