What do you guys do with the dog clothes you no longer use? I recently went through Clyde & Dexter's wardrobe and discovered an array of clothes that either no longer fit Dexter because we got them when he was 4 pounds lighter or Clyde never wore because I ended up not liking the way the clothes looked on him or something. I was wondering what you guys do with the clothes that you do not use anymore? I'm not talking about ratty worn to death clothes ... but clothes that still almost look brand new because of how lightly they were used. I posted them in an online ad, but have had 0% luck in selling them. I contacted a local thrift store/good will, there response was "I do not think we take that stuff. Generally we just take bowls and leashes and crates" ... I was a little shocked by that? Some thrifts stores just plainly said "We don't sell dog stuff here" ... I also don't have any friends that are small dog lovers (aka I don't know anyone who has a small dog in need of clothes) I would hate to just throw all these good outfit away ... What do you guys do with the clothes that you no longer have a use for? -Sarah, Clyde, Dexter |
I also contacted salvation army... the one in my area said that they do not re-sell pet stuff because of the fact that dog stuff could have disease on it. At least that is what the lady told me over the phone. |
I see people list them on here sometimes. |
I sell used dog stuff here.:) It almost always sells (scroll down to products for sale section). I think you have to be a donating member to post though..but maybe not. |
i usually take pics of the clothes and post on yorkie talk "free to good home"...:D there is also a yorkie products for sale section if you wish to sell them..:) |
|
or maybe you could donate them to a local rescue group?? |
I would try selling them on here or donating them to a rescue. :) |
I have been thinking of posting clothes - yours free, just pay postage. I have several things that my dogs just don't wear and would be happy to give them away. I would send them and then the receiving party could just send me a check for the postage stamped on the box. Simple Cherie |

I know that the local SPCA thrift store in my area hires a lot of teenagers to help run the shop, and some of them don't have the greatest attitudes about working LOL. I might try a rescue, too. I couldn't imagine a rescue not needing some stuff for small dogs ... I didn't even think of contacting a privately owned rescue. Since Clyde is such a large Yorkshire terrier some of his clothes are really rather big. I think his clothes would really benefit a rescue. Thanks for the idea! XD |

I'm looking to give them away for free to a "dog in need" or an owner having a hard time finding cute clothes for their dogs. So I will definitely have to take some pictures of the stuff and see if anyone is interested! ^-^ |
Donate them! Your local no-kill shelter would love to have them I'm sure. At the shelter I work at we often have to shave down dogs that come in matted. Since it's so cold we use donated coats and sweaters to keep them warm. I've donated all the dresses and harnesses mine have grown out of. Some times having the dogs in cute outfits help get them adopted too- win win :D |
Am I the only one that keeps all my dog's old stuff? I even have all the clothes/sweaters/coats/harnesses from my last yorkie, Chelsea. She was much smaller than ZoE, so ZoE couldn't use them once she was past the puppy stage, so I packed everything away in the two smaller dog carrier/purses. I have them stored in the basement, right next to my skin kid's stuff that I'm keeping. Does this make me a lil weird? Or alot weird? :D |
If I had any, probably donate them to Goodwill. |
