Doggie Jamz

It seems that stores have plenty of doggie apparel, but rarely can you find four-legged outfits for dogs. These fleece doggie "Jamz" provide lots of warmth to the dogs...even all four legs! The jamz are one piece and are easy to slip on and off the dog.

I first started sewing these jammies as post-surgery cover-up for my dog who had had knee surgery. I wanted something that would cover up his incisions...a "out of sight, out of mind" kinda thing. Also I figured the incisions would be harder for him to get his mouth on them if they were covered up. This pic shows Tex wearing his jamz a few days after surgery...the sad look on his face is because he was still in pain.


Another time we found a good/unusual use for the jamz was the time we had a rescue dog who came from the shelter with a very bad skin condition that caused him to scratch almost constantly. I put a pair of jammies on him and immediately he stopped scratching. Any time we'd take them off, he'd scratch. So he wore his jams for two weeks straight, day and night. Now that little guy won't go to sleep at night without his jammies on. As you can see in the photo, the jammies don't hinder body movement...the dogs are still able to play and wrestle.
