As winter arrives in the northern parts of the world and we
break out our down filled parkas, our fleece lined ski jackets,
long-johns, hats and mittens - do we stop to think of our four
legged friends and companions? Well, most of us don't, which is
hard to imagine seeing as he's one of our best friends.
Most of the dogs that we keep have not been bred for a severely
cold climate. They were bred for size, companionship, show and

Spitz-type dogs such as the Alaskan
malamute and the Huskies were bred for cold climates. These are
large dogs with heavy mass and thick coats that are able to
retain and maintain their body heat.
Many of the larger short haired breeds such as the Bulldog,
Boxer, Dalmatian and Great Dane appreciate a sweater in cold
weather. However, most of the dogs we have as pets in our homes
are from the medium to smaller dog breeds. These dogs, because

smaller body mass and typically thinner coats, can get
cold very quickly. Their extremities, being smaller, have a

breeds. Small and toy dogs have an extremely hard time

exercise, walks and toileting.

of doggie coats, capes, sweaters, shirts and boots. If you want

very least a coat or cape (to help retain body
heat) and fleece lined nylon boots (to protect the feet from
snow and cold). Almost any pet store will have dog apparel to
suit most breeds. To find larger sized clothes (for breeds like
the Greyhound) or specific brands and styles, you may have to
search out an on-line store that carries these products.
If you live in the Snow Belt, do your dog a favor - get him some
warm clothes to wear. He'll be happier

peace of mind that your dog is safe and comfortable.
