There seems to be a lost art of making pet sweaters in this country especially since we can drive down to the local Wal*Mart and buy something really cheap.

But I would remind you that not all is lost and making clothes – for your dog – is a simple as knitting a pet sweater.

Case in point where Alyson knitted a sweater for her grandparents Dachshund.  In her blog she has the measurements around the chest and length to make a very comfortable sweater for the elongated dog.

But even if you don’t have the talent for making a designer knit sweater for your dog, you can typically pick one up at eBay or at etsy where commercial or hand knitted sweaters are available.
