I live in Indiana and it gets awfully cold outside during the winter. I know that Boxer's don't like the cold to well, any suggestions on coats or something to put on them to help?

When my sister and I lived in Colorado we'd play out in the snow for hours while daddy shoveled the snow. If you keep moving your body stays warm. Also try acclimating to it. But yes a doggy coat would come in handy and maybe booties too.

It gets pretty cold up here so we keep outside time to a minium on the bad days and play fetch in the basement instead.

We live in Quebec and it can get pretty cold down here. Mommy bought Mia & I coats plus booties (mutluks) to keep us warm on those winter days. We love it playing in the snow even on the coldest days I dont mind, Mia does. However Mommy keeps outside times 2 a min. on those days. To keep us well excerised we turn off all the lights and play laser fanza its so much fun chasing that red light!!!!

My vet had a good suggestion for my mommmy, since it gets soo cold here in Ut (like 20-30 below), she said to start feeding me more, so I'll gain an extra 5-10 lbs to help insulate me. For those who have bought sweaters or coats, where did you get them? Also my mom is worried I'll just tear it apart, any tips??

Mommy got both mines & Mia's(another boxer) coat at local pet stores. She had 2 do a lot of shopping around 4 mines as nothing seemed 2 fit. Mommy doesnt think you'll want 2 tear up that coat that keeps you warm but she does hang our coats in the closet with hers.

Good Luck

JB Pet has some great ones that wrap around and velcro on for really cheap. They fit great, and are really very warm too! Our favorite coats are from there.

We have a closet where mom hangs the different clothes for us, on childrens hangers. Works pretty well. Even though we rarely need coats, we have them for when we do!

oooooooooooh my goodness bindi sue look at those ears!! u are adorable!! well for one, if my mami or dadi even thought of putting clothes on me, i would just hop around like a bronco until they came off, or until i ripped them off -whichever comes first. being in WI, it gets so coold all i do is do my business then go back into the warm house and claim a nice warm cozy spot on the couch. although, im madly obessesd with the LASER light that my mommy lets me chase around, and boy do i get tired from all of that running around in the basement!

I have a puffy vest that mom bought at Old Navy. It was super cheap...and none of the other stores around here carried coats that were big enough for me.

But I don't wear the coat very often. Mostly I just run outside, do my business real fast and run back in. It takes longer to put the coat on than that.
