YSense Cotton Crew Dog Socks For Women

The pet business is big business, and it’s no surprise that this translates into novelty items like dog socks. If you’re buying a gift for a dog-lover, you can’t go wrong if you buy a pair (or several pairs). Some are imprinted with specific breeds, making the gift even more personal. Why not match your feet to your furry friend?

Look for socks made from breathable materials, with some added Spandex for stretch. Thinner socks may not hold up as well in the wash, so you may want to use the delicate setting and let them air dry.

If your gift recipient spends most of their time at home, you can probably get away with more exciting socks in vibrant colors. For friends and family who have a more formal sense of style, you can also choose dog socks in muted tones for a subtle nod to their love for canines.

• Like other socks, you can find dog crew socks, dog ankle socks, dog dress socks and so forth.
• Some dog socks reach up to the calf and can provide more warmth.
• Natural cotton socks are soft and easy to clean, but they can retain moisture if feet perspire too much. Polyester, nylon and acrylic are manufactured materials, but they are better repelling moisture. They are also more shrink-resistant and do not stretch out or bunch up to as great an extent.
• If you don’t favor a particular dog breed, there are sock sets that include pictures of different breeds, plus little dog houses, bones and other doggie accessories.
