Protection for a Small Dog

A small dog’s body can’t hold heat as well as a big dog does. Although most dogs can tolerate a certain amount of coldness, getting cold will depend on the dog’s size and type of coat as well as the weather in the area the dog is. I live in California and when my family visited my sister in Canada, I really made sure to buy an extra small dog coat for my Chihuahua.

Back home, my dog can usually just tolerate a light sweater when the temperature dips below 50 degrees F. But most of the time, I just dress him in t-shirts for our afternoon walks in the park. Sometimes, I think my dog is even more fashionable that I am.
