| I had to laugh for a second when you said you wouldn't send your babies out naked...? I wouldn't feed my human kids raw food either.... I've never heard of them getting dry skin from wearing clothes...I will ocasionally put a little dress(little whip made a couple of beautiful ones for ginger) on her at home, but, most of the time, she's naked like the other ones.. |

| I dress Lacy every day...her skin is a little dry but I think that's more from her being bathed often than her clothes. I don't see how clothes would cause dry skin. The only downside to them having clothes on is you need to make sure you brush them after taking clothes off so they don't get tangles or matts and it does cause minor hair breakage (so show dogs can wear clothes).

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I don't think clothes will cause dry skin, but they will cause mats and tangles if you don't brush them out when you take the clothes off.

| I put a sweater or a hoodie on Tyson when we go out, but he's "naked" in the house. I don't want his hair/fur to get matted. A friend of mine left her yorkie in the hands of her cousin for a week. She left his sweater on all 5 days and when she picked him up he was all matted, so she had to have him shaved and start growing his hair/fur all over again...needless to say, she will NOT be watching Tyson anytime soon. |

| Tucker had dry skin, but that was from bathing too often, not from wearing clothes. I don't usually dress him unless it's cold, but he doesn't have many clothes ...yet |
