pThere are many people out there that are dressing their pets up for no reason at all which is quite bizzare. In many ways this has turned into a bit of a fashion amongst dogs. The celebrity that is famous for doing this the most has to be Paris Hilton as she is always buying her dog Tinkerbell expensive gifts and clothes.!–more– How far is it before it stops being nice and starts being a bit cruel?br / br / The opinon that I have on this is that if you are going to dress a dog up then you are wasting your time because the dog could be injured in the process. The only dogs that people tend to dress up are the small ones that look more like small rats than a proper dog. Why are people always dressing their pets up?br / br / There are times where people do it for competitions. The problem is that many companies are actually encouraging this by having fashion shows for these dogs.br / br / However there are many people that dress their dog in coats because it can get very cold in the winter and if you have a small dog then that is perfectly acceptable. The problem is that without the help of a human, these dogs would be totally useless so is it really a good idea that we dress them up.br / br / The RSPCA are also arguing that going too far with this could result in some charges against cruelty to animals. This is a very good idea as many people put their dogs in little boots which could of course damage the legs of the animal.

A coat is acceptable in the winter but anything else could be a bit stupid./p
