Winter Clothing For Dogs

Does your dog need a sweater or hoodie for the winter? I found a good but short article on the subject. It can be found at www. http://dog-care.suite101.com/article.cfm/winter_clothes_for_dogs Basically the answer to this question is "it depends on your dog." Is your dog a small, medium or large breed dog. Long or short haired? Do they balk at going out in the cold weather or does your dog live for the snow? There are many different types of clothing you can provide your dog with to keep him/her warm. They include dog coats, sweaters and hoodies (sweatshirts). These types of articles of clothing keep your dog warm and provide and extra layer of insulation. Dog boots provide not only warmth but protection as well, especially if you live somewhere it snows and they salt the sidewalks and streets. The salt can dry out and crack the pads on your dogs feet.
