How much you willing to spend on doggie clothes?

[pawever Yorkie]

There are so many cute clothes for furbabies and I just can't resist it.
I think I buy more of my babies clothes than my own
Best thing that I bought was separable padded paka from Japan, $300 each x 6 = worth it / my babies stayed toasty worm in it.
I love knitting sweaters for them as well

Tiger's hair looks really nice to me, and he's beautiful.

Lol, thanks for the link I usually draw the line at spending no more than $20 for a clothing item, but just shelled out $40 for a sweater, but I'm more than positive that it'll be worth the $

I find this topic interesting as a retailer because I carry very few shirts for $10 or coats/sweaters for $20 or less. The reason behind this is that I would rather carry higher quality products at a higher price point. If I was to sell shirts for $10 or coats/sweaters for $20 the quality would be extremely lacking. I have brought in a few items that would retail at that and I refused to sell it because I wouldn't even want my own dog to wear it.

Example- Chilly Dog sweaters. I have yet to find a dog sweater that is as thick as they are. Yes they are more expensive, but if someone is looking for a nice warm, thick dog sweater they are the first I tell them to buy. I wish I could have some Chilly dog sweaters for me to wear!

I also try to buy things on sale, but like I am with my own clothing, I prefer to buy quality things, even though they cost more money. I'd rather buy much less things that will look nice, drape nicer, wash better, and last longer. I was looking to buy one of the Ralph Lauren hoodies and sweaters for Ashley once they went on sale, but I was so unsure of the size, I never followed through. I was also looking at Oscar Newman. I wish I would have known about Chilly Dog sweaters. You offer a discount for Yorkie Talk members, and that's great.

I have loads of clothes and quite a few Poppy dosnt even fit into anymore I just havnt got round to selling them yet.
I wouldnt pay more then £30-£40 for something.. I have a few Juicy hoodys for her and a coat which were near the £30 range but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Yeah I noticed that too thats why I usually buy my Juicy from an Ebay seller in the US, her shops name is Juicy Tutti and all of her stuff is autheic.
I buy all the Juicy in size small so its all too big for Poppy at the moment but I bought it for her to grow into.
I didnt want to buy a hoody I liked in the tiny size only for her to grow out of it in a few weeks and have to buy a bigger size.

I try to keep within my budget when I buy clothing for my yorkie because he's still growing and I know he is going to out grow all the things I bought for him this month.
The most I've spent for clothing is $29 and that was for a winter coat. I also dress my shorkie she has an extensive wardrobe. My yorkie is a male so most of the clothing Zoe wears are dresses or pink so Zach can't wear her hand me downs.

my budget is very strict and this is just what i have to spend and i never have trouble getting items to fit i don't see the need to buy higher quality but im sure if i had more money i would spend more of it

I totally agree. I buy clothes from ebay, walmart, and YT venders mostly. They don't fall apart, they keep my babies warm, and they don't break the bank. That is good enough quality for me! A $10-20 shirt or coat is going to keep my baby just as warm, look just as cute, and last yrs... as a $50 one!

So far, I have bought 2 sweaters for Sandy and they're all below 15EUR. We got him in November last year, it was cold in winter. My cousin gave me plenty of clothes from her mini poodle puppy before.
