The global pet-clothing market was valued at $5.56 billion last year .

Clothing brands for humans have started selling doggy lines, and pet parents are wearing matching parkas with their pooches.

While it’s adorable, and sometimes hilarious, for canines to wear winter clothes, it's actually important for many dogs to keep them safe.

Before dressing their dog, owners should consider: “Are you putting it on for the dog’s sake or your sake?” Han Xia , who lives in Hoboken , N.J. , with her 3-year-old miniature dachshund, Kiki , said her pup has three winter coats, as well as dozens of sweaters.

“I think I get more satisfaction out of buying clothes for her than I do for myself,” said Alisha Bobczynski .
