A dog umbrella is not just a fancy accessory for your beloved pet. While it looks good and stylish, it also serves an important purpose: to protect your four-legged friend from the rain and snow.
There are many other advantages of having an umbrella for dogs, such as:
1. It allows you to maintain your regular walking regimen. After all, your dog needs his regular exercise and time outdoors. It will also keep you from making that proverbial "it's too wet to walk" excuse.
2. Because it keeps your dog from getting wet, you no longer have to wipe and blow-dry your his fur after your walk.
3. It prevents the build-up of that familiar unpleasant odor a wet dog tends to exude.
4. Also, he will no longer spread moisture in your home and furniture.
5. The umbrella also keeps your dog comfortable, and since he stays dry, it will keep him from feeling too cold due to wet fur.

Dog Umbrella/ Umbrella for Dogs
This dog umbrella by LesyPet provides good protection for dogs less than 19 inches long or less than 12 pounds. It looks like an umbrella that has been blown by the wind – the dome faces opposite the handle. This design allows you to conveniently hold the cane-like handle at one end of the 26-inch shaft while your dog is safely protected under the canopy at the other end.
Inside the 29-inch diameter canopy is an 8-inch built-in chain dog umbrella leash that you can attach to your pet's collar, which keeps him from leaving the protection of the umbrella. And because the PE film body is transparent, you can easily see what he is doing and he can see you and the things around him.
Many customers find the product very useful, cute, and convenient; however, some wrote in their reviews that the built-in dog umbrella harness is too short while others claimed their pets are terrified of the umbrella. The manufacturer does say that it may take some time for some dogs to become familiar with the product.
