Does Your Dog Need a Coat?

Winter Sweaters & Coats - Does Your Dog Need Them?

From : Dr. Jon, Dog Crazy Newsletter

 

If you've ever seen your dog shivering from the chill of a winter day you know that a little extra protection from the cold certainly couldn't hurt. When we get cold, we don't hesitate to put on a sweater or jacket. Why should it be any different for our dogs?

Some dogs need more protection than others. Your dog's ability to withstand cold temperatures could depend on his age, his breed, his size and even his heritage.

Many dogs are extremely uncomfortable when exposed to cold winter temperatures. That's especially true for small dogs, thin dogs and dogs whose fur is not as thick, long and heavy. Older dogs, sick dogs and dogs with arthritis or joint pain also have more trouble dealing with cold weather. 

Adapting to climate change is not always easy for a dog. If you've moved from a warm climate to a colder climate, the temperature change can be very difficult for your dog.

If your dog is reluctant to go outside on a cold or snowy day, chances are a warm sweater or jacket may be just the thing. Winter boots can also help safeguard your dog's paws from harsh snow, salt and ice.

Dogs will curl up in an attempt to conserve body heat, but that only goes so far – especially for small and thin dogs. Many dogs benefit from wearing a sweating during winter months, even when they are indoors.



Until next time, Dr. Jon

Ace Thanks Santa

Hello our foster Ace would like to thank Loretta and Buster, Wally and Zoey, and Angelique and Ray for such thoughtful gifts! Although he is from a puppy mill and does not quite get the concept of playing with a toy or taking a treat yet, I know he will soon! He has come around so much in so many other ways in just three weeks and I have high expectations for him.

Thank you for thinking of him this holiday season.

Kendra Michael in West Reading, PA with Rana, Murdoc and Foster Ace!

You're  Welcome Kendra.  He is a very lucky pup to be with you.  I am sure given some time he will come around and learn to play.  We adopted our Zoey from NEBTR a year ago this past October.  She was a scared little girl when we got her.  Today she is a lovy little sweet heart. full of confidence and love…  Best of luck with Ace he is a beautiful boy.  I am he with flourish with love and affection 

Happy Holidays
