The weather is turning colder and as I\u2019m pulling on my coat for the early morning dog walks, I\u2019ve started to wonder if I should be putting one on my dog too.\u00a0 I\u2019ll admit I like to be pretty well wrapped up, but I\u2019m not sure if my dog would want to be or if it is even healthy for him to be bundled up in dog coats.\u00a0 So I\u2019ve done a bit of research on what would be best for my dog. Should a dog be wearing a coat in winter? Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve found out.<\/span><\/p>\n

If a dog is healthy, has a medium size frame or larger, and has dense fur there should be sufficient fur to keep him plenty warm enough for walks outside.\u00a0 As long as he is actively walking or running, there should be no requirement for a coat as the natural insulative properties will keep him cosy. However, if a dog has thin or short fur, has a thin body frame, is a puppy or a senior dog, or has underlying health issues, dog coats would be recommended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The type of coat you choose is important. Go for something that isn\u2019t too bulky or likely to restrict your dog\u2019s movement. The coat should fit the dog perfectly – not too tight or loose.\u00a0 It\u2019s also better to avoid decorative additions that can potentially get caught on shrubbery or can work loose and get ingested by a curious dog.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you do choose to put a coat on your dog, keep a close eye.\u00a0 Make sure he is not left unattended while wearing the clothing and look for signs that he may be uncomfortable or getting too hot. A dog that is panting or drooling excessively may be overheating and may require medical attention from a vet.<\/span><\/p>\n
