Winter wear?

It's starting to get cold here now, and this winter will be the first that I've had Kit. His 1st birthday is the day after Christmas, and I got him in March.

Do other pappy owners do anything special to keep their dogs warm during cold winter walks? I was thinking that I should invest in some kind of jacket or something to put on him to help keep him warm when it gets really cold. Maybe if I start getting him use to it now he won't mind wearing it by the time it gets really cold. How cold does it need to get before it will start to bother him??

Thanks!!

Hi Kit! wave

We have actually started getting some sweaters and pretty soon we are going to buy Nabi a coat. For the days when the snow is on the ground and the wind is blowing like a hawk!

I think it's wonderful you want to keep your pup warm, because I do too. cloud 9

I always buy a warm sweater or a fleece pullover for Copee. when we go outside he wears this under a coat. He has a coat that has windbreaker material on the outside and is lined with fleece on the inside. When it snows in the winter Copee wears shoes. blue dog I Like Petco's selecton of coats and apparel. Better then petsmart. Atleast where I live.

Thanks for the responses! I'll start looking around for stuff for Kit. He already has boots but isn't use to wearing them yet. I think I'll maybe look at sweaters and some type of water proof coat or something. smile
