If your dog gives a sigh when another dog in a warm winter coat walks by, it’s more that just a fashion statement. Most small dogs that aren’t accustomed to very cold conditions do appreciate a little insulation around their middles. If it’s cold and windy where you live, then you should get your dog some warm clothing such as a dog coat or sweater. Some dogs will wear booties others won’t but wearing a coat is a good idea. You can find coats online or in mail order catalogs. It’s also fun to shop in person. Remember, the proper fit is more important than looking fancy. Take your time and choose a dog coat that both your and your dog will be comfortable with. Then you can watch the other dogs give that envious look when they walk by.

Remember, your pets count!
