Dog Clothes Big Business in Japan

They dressed this one up as a Cow!

Sales of Dog Clothes in Japan have boomed in recent years thanks largely to an increase in Dog sales.  Dog Clothes manufacturers are announcing the best ever year in terms of growth with many boosting output by 110% to meet demand.  This echoes pet stores who themselves have recorded record growth in a widely difficult year for the Japan.  Dog Clothes expert, Rex Mutt, said “It’s been such a great year for both sales and designs, doggy fashion has never been so cool!”

The most popular outfit for Dogs has been a Krypto dress-up, modelled on Supermans dog, which is regularly seen on dogs up and down Tokyo’s posh district of  Shibuya.  Superhero outfits for Dogs have seen such a sharp rise in Japan that Marvel and DC comics are falling over themselves to licesnse new designs.  US Comic books have seen a revival in Japan and nowhere more so than among dog owners it would seem.  Most anticipated of these are Ace (the Bat-Hound from Batman) and Marvels Lockjaw the Inhuman Dog.

Japanese dog owners are getting in to the act themselves by dressing up even for trips to the supermarket.  We all knew that Japan had lost all sense when we first saw Japanese Fluorescent Lamp Fighting but maybe it’s time to call in the Doctors.
