Dogs have fur don’t they? Yes, but not all fur is created for keeping warm in sustained winter cold. Huskies and Eskimo dogs have special fur that traps warm air. They frolic happily in the coldest weather. Other dogs that do not have this insulation – slim dogs, small dogs, puppies and older dogs can get cold in winter. A few stylish, well-fitting coats and sweaters make getting out and about more comfortable and sustain good winter health for many dogs.

My Mimi peruses garage sales for baby wear such as fleece hoodies and onesies. She refashions them so that they look like they are designed especially fur pets. In cold weather, me and Peachy wear the onsies indoors and the fleece hoodies outdoors….’cept I don’t like to wear my hood.
