Chinanews, Beijing, Nov. 2 – The first standard for pet dog clothes, a regulation made by the China Association for Clothes Standardization1, was formally implemented2 on Thursday, the Beijing News reported.

 

The regulation specifies3 some of the criteria4 that pet clothes should meet, including the raw materials used, the shrinking range, the durability5, and the trademarks6 usage. However, in Nanjing and Chengdu, this reporter learned that many pet clothes shop owners and pet owners had never heard of such regulation. Nor do they know who should supervise the implementation7 of the regulation.

 

The new regulation was made for two purposes: to regulate the market and to benefit the pets, said Xu Jian, secretary-general of the China Association for Clothes Standardization.

 

On Wednesday, this reporter visited several shops that sold pet goods and found that most of the pet clothes sold in the market could hardly meet the new standard. Many shop owners said they had never heard of such regulation. Some even scorned the regulation.

 

Some industrial analysts8 also raise their doubt about the regulation. They say that dogs might feel uncomfortable if they move around with clothes on. Dogs have their own hair which can keep them warm. If they wear clothes, it might undermine their ability to resist the cold in natural environment in future.
