Not ordinary yet. I can see some situations I might want too.. like if I'm recreating a character dog that wears a scarf or if I'm making a certain type of stereotypical female character that dresses up her lap dog. Haven't done it yet though but it's there if I want it.
I just don't like the thought personally. Most pets that I've seen dressed up look miserable and ashamed. I'm sure they can be trained to like it though..
No. I like to adopt strays for the fun of not knowing what you'll get. What kind of pet will I get? Will my Sim pick the first one he/she finds or will he/she be picky in his/her choice of pets? Once I have the pet, I really don't bother with dressing them. I fed, bathe and take care of them. That pet is lucky to have been taken off the streets, so why would I dress them?!
I do the same thing when I start a new game -- I'll start with one young adult and have him/her meet one of the computer generated NPCs. Will my Sim be selective and try to find out what he/she can before getting involved, or will he/she go for looks, seemed wealth (does the prospective mate look rich?), etc.
I actually find pet clothes pretty cute (even when in reality I would never put clothes on animals because it bothers them and they have fur already) and I do use some of the items from C&Ds like the collars, the bandanas and some of the costumes (the dragon one is too cute) for funsies. I don't know I'm all about things that are fun in the game because it's a game after all
IRL? No, never. I think it is pretty horrible unless it is necessary (like a thin-coated dog needing a sweater in the cold). Collars and training devices are necessary so I don't consider those to be pet clothes.
In TS4? I'll admit that some of the hoodies and halters have grown on me. I do let the TS4 pets wear them or have several outfits one of which might be a body sweater while the others are plain collars or walking gear. I guess I'm sort of gearing them up for Seasons because I already think of some of the worlds as being a bit chilly at times so I'll let the pet wear a sweater.
I have not put a pet in a grilled cheese hat or hot dog suit though. That's true IRL and in the game. I remember one of the dogs in my screen name being very annoyed when she'd have to wear a Santa hat during the holidays.
It's amusing that some of the same folks who have no problem with vampires breaking in at night, violating someone's home and biting them, think dressing up pets is such a horrible, unthinkable thing.
I'm in no big hurry to use the wacky costumes on the pets most of the time (I save that for quirky Sims), but come on. What a mix that kind of thinking is, lol.

Stop with the logic already!
We had a huge poodle looking dog and whenever he came back from the groomer he hid in shame and that bow in his hair was so embarrassing to him. He kept pawing at it. I've seen pets rolling around and scooching (is that a word?) trying to get the clothing off. Poor guys.
But yeah we all think differently about so many things. I like the poster that said I can't dress them up in real life so might as well do it here. That makes sense to me.
Indeed I do, in-game of course. My dogs everyday outfits are colourful bowties according to their fur colours, when they go on walks they wear shiny bedazzled collars. I love to treat them in a sophisticated way, it helps them have good manners lol if it's really cold out and they go to the park I'll put a warm sweater on them, often they wear stylish bandannas as well. I'm so very grateful that EA gave us the ability to not only dress up our pets, but also put multiple pieces of clothing on them at one time. I can put a bowtie and bandanna on my dog at the same time :D
Alll of them have or will have collars. Sweaters or clothing depending on what kind of animal. If very short haired yes. When seasons comes along, absolutely! I'm from a seasonal country and winters can on occasion be quite harsh on our furry friends, especially the dogs.

I like to adopt strays too. It is fun not to know what you're going to get. And yes I dress them up in game. I find it fun and cute. I have 3 cats IRL (they're my babies ) and no I don't dress them up. They'd hate it I'm sure, lol. But this is just a game and the cats and dogs are fine with it in game.
only collars, I hate dressed up pets in games and irl.
I only dressed up a cat one time because it's owner was a very excentric sim, it was fun but I preffer animals to look like animals, they're not dolls to dress up.
Usually my pets will just wear a collar every day and also a harness for walking if they're a dog (much better for their neck). Sometimes they also have a jumper/coat outfit for cold weather depending on their breed/fur or a bandana just to look cute/cool in the summer.
It depends on the game. On my more normal (realistic?) saves I usually give them just collars and maybe a cute sweater to wear in the winter, but if I play one of my wackier saves I dress them just as ridiculously as I dress my Sims.
I never pretend that my Sims are humans and their pets aren't real either, so I find it okay to dress them sometimes. In real life I would never dress my pets.

Taco on Tuesday, thanks for that idea

I made my hubby's service dog Ben, (finally) found a "service dog" type vest.
Here is a pic of our Ben.
He's a Blond German Shepard
Yes I'm a Brony!
