Boy dogs and girl dogs are not created equal

Girls can wear longer cut sweaters and tee shirts, but boys will not be comfortable unless their sweaters and tees are cut up on the tummy to mid chest. Many manufacturers pay attention to this distinction, but many do not. When you shop, you'll have to consider gender, or Brandon will end up wet, cold and embarrassed after his walk while Brandy is styling pretty in her well cut clothes.

Dogs have fur don't they? Yes, but not all fur is created for keeping warm in sustained winter cold. Huskies and Eskimo dogs have special fur that traps warm air. They frolic happily in the coldest weather. Other dogs that do not have this insulation - slim dogs, small dogs, puppies and older dogs can get cold in winter. A few stylish, well-fitting coats and sweaters make getting out and about more comfortable and sustain good winter health for many dogs.
