Clothing: since we got our chihuahua a coat to wear outside on cold days, she won't go outside anymore without it on cold days. She even runs over to where it's hanging on the wall if we try to snap the leash on before we've put the coat on her!
Grooming: my folks are elderly and have arthritis in their hands and wrist. They can cope with a light, daily coat brushing but washing and haircuts are more than they can handle themselves. A reasonably priced groomer is more than worth the cost for them.
You are right. It actually makes sense for chihuahua to wear something in cold weather due to their thin fur. Most dogs I saw wearing clothes already have a lot of their own 'coats'.
Most groomer charges more than they worth. But I guess there are always people willing to pay, or they wouldn't be in business unless they reduce the price.
