Dog Bathing Suits and Bikinis
Does your pooch have everything? Think twice! Perhaps it needs a dog bikini or one of these cute dog bathing suits ;-)
I was browsing around the internet, looking for stuff to write about and came across the concept of 'dog bathing suits, bikinis and trunks'. Honestly I didn't know if I should laugh out loud or cry. Yes, they do look fancy, but seriously, does a dog need to wear a bikini? Whilst I am not completely against dog clothes, putting them in swimming suits seems a bit over the top to me. What do you think? There is a handy 'opinion vote' at the end of this article ;-)
Back to the topic of bathing dogs, after a few hours more of browsing around and giggling, I decided to do something useful with my research & findings and to present you with the
Most Hilarious Dog Bathing Suits Ever
All-American Style

Bikini for Dogs
That one could also serve as a 4th July outfit ;-) Aptly called 'The All-American Dog Bikini' I can see that sooo on a beach in California! Show your love for your country and dress up your dog like this. Or show your love for your dog and don't dress it up like this! Look at the face of the canine bikini model. Doesn't it look like it is saying
'What do you mean by this photo is for Amazon? Does that mean people will actually see me like this? Please, nooo!
I also like the idea of the triangles in the top. Dear designer, I hate to break this news to you, but a dog has what you attempt to cover in another place ;-)

Swim Trunks For Dogs
Obviously you can't dress a male dog in a bikini or one piece swimsuit. Or can you? Is there something like a canine cross-dresser? Oops, I am getting distracted again. Here on the right my favorite bathing suit for a real male dog ;-)
Or does the dog hope to achieve a camouflage effect with this and disappear from sight when taken out like that? Not sure if that will work on the beach, that means sand, not jungle!
Hawaii Style

Doggy Beach Wear
Aloha!
Which dog wouldn't dream to be dressed up like this? I mean, not only with a bikini, but also with a grass skirt and a lei! Or would that be most dog's worst nightmare?
What would the neighbor's cat say if she would see a dog dressed like this walking down the street towards the beach?
"Meow! Look at that stupid dog! If they would try that with me, I would claw the bikini to pieces and their skin also for good measure!"
Pink Leopard Style

Dog Swimsuit
If this swimsuit doesn't make your dog the 'bark of the neighborhood', little else will ;-) Pink, fake leopard can't be beaten. This is also a great outfit for a more modest dog as it is a 'one piece covers all important parts' model.
But again the neighborhood cats will not suddenly fall in awe because they mistake your dog now for a pink leopard, instead they might kill themselves laughing ...
My Opinion ;-)
In case you really are not clear about that one ;-) Whilst I think warm dog clothes make sense for certain dogs and breeds that live in a cold climate, I certainly don't believe in dressing your dog up for the beach or pool party.
All dogs I have ever had, and known, would have simply refused to leave the house wearing something like this! And on a more serious note, this full cover of the dog's backside also interferes with normal dog behavior. You know the part where they sniff each others backsides to get to know one another ;-)
But feel free to voice your opinion below, or perhaps even the opinion of your dog, when it comes to fashionable canine beach and pool wear ;-)

Lol, I see them here quite frequently in Europe, dogs with shoes I mean. Mainly in winter because of the salt on the icy streets ...

That's hilarious, do people actually dress up their dogs. I thought that only happened on Hollywood film set ;) Just let the dogs be dogs I say.

Those poor dogs. I hate to see anything on a dog except maybe a jacket for the ones without much fur. And also - please take the dumb bows out of your dog's hair!
Good idea, because ...

For the pampered pouch this is great, my Mom pampers her dogs so much so they are treated like small children. it all depends on the type of dog you own. Small dogs tend to love this stuff, great products, fun indeed. Don't like the bikini, comeon a good eye catcher though and to that kudos.
Life Saving Gear for Dogs
Whilst dog bikinis are just plain silly in my opinionated opinion, the stuff on the right side is indeed useful.
Especially if you like boating, yachting, sailing or another water sport and want to do it with a dog that isn't an excellent and experienced swimmer.
And even those dogs could greatly benefit from wearing a life jacket, think about cold weather, strong winds and the like. And as for cuteness, the second model is nearly as cute as the Hawaii dog bikini ;-)
If you liked this article, feel free to use any of the social media buttons available to spread the word about it. I had great fun writing it, so I hope many people will have fun reading about these hilarious dog bathing suits!
Dog Life Jackets
... yes, these are useful!

- the Runtweiller is very definitely my better half's dog! I showed her your article by the way - she was in stitches!
Those outfits are outrageous. My wife has a Yorkie - just like the ones in the lifejackets snaps. I'll need to show her this article, she'll be tickled pink!
