Dog coats aren't for humanising dogs any more than horse coats are for humanising horses. Warm and waterproof coats prevent rheumatism and chills, especially in older dogs. Assistance dogs wear coats to warn the public that they are working and not to be fed or petted, and alert people in case the owner collapses.
Clothes are another thing altogether.

I don't like it when dogs have coats on. God made them to have their own fur for warmth. We have rat terriers and in the winter they sleep in hay and wool blankets if it gets cold. There are even pet boutiques now. With starving people around the world you would think with the money they pay for some of those darn outfits, they could help feed families. Like the dog is even comfortable in a coat!

I think it is totally ridiculus. I mean, some ppl are so convinced that they have the need to buy their dogs and cats coats in the winter but realistically what they dont seem to be able to understand is that they have evolved over time from the original wild species of cats and dogs who were designed to withstand cold temperatures. Why do you think they have fur?!!!!!

Totally........humans are humans, animals are animals and should be kept separate, the only time that I would condone such ott stupidity is if a person is so distressed at not having children that they transfer this affection onto a pet, because if it makes them happy, it'd be sad to stand in their way, but to do it as a fashion accessory is just plain extravagant attention seeking.

Life is far too short to feel frustrated by that! Let people enjoy their pets and the pleasure they get out of them. Each person is entitled to their own enjoyment as are you. We are all diffferent and that's what makes up the human race. There are plenty of things in the world which are much more frustrating.

Dog coats are fine if you're walking a dog in cold weather. But the rest of the junk is a bit weird.....people wanting to put Halloween costumes on their cats?! WTF?! I think those people have a death wish or something.
