I tend to avoid leaving lilah in sweaters for the same fears. We took care of a sweet little chihuahua for a while before lilah came into our lives, he had his very small collar on and I thought it was ok because we were around- thank goodness we were! It slipped up over his jaw and got stuck in his mouth, he could have scratched his eyes terribly or broken his jaw ( which I had read about) I was horrified. Collars only with supervision. Here we are going into winter though and lilah has a very short haircut and we have wooden floors and sweaters are not immaleable straps of leather with sharp buckles, her toes are trimmed, her sweaters fit well and I think it will be okay for her to wear them. Huge deciding factor: lilah stays in her ex pen when I am gone. She has a pink princess palace with an upper floor where her good and water love and the lower floor has a cuddle cave with her fuzzy dog bed and she has a potty pad. I think if she had free reign of the house where she could get stuck on this and that I might not feel the same way about sweaters though....
