It's getting winter again, and that means it's time for jackets and sweaters for everyone. We need to bundle ourselves, our children, and some of our dogs.
Generally, you don't want to dress your dog in clothes, as the clothes hide body communication between dog to dog and sometimes between dog to human.
Clothes can hide razzled fur and aggressive postures, but sometimes, putting a coat on your dog may really help him keep warm.
Smaller dogs, older dogs, and dogs with thin coats can easily freeze and get sick.
You don't have to put clothes on your dog for short periods outside, but if you're going on a long walk, you may want to consider putting on a coat. Just be careful of leaving your dog in clothes unsupervised.
Some dogs will fight their clothes, and may get an arm stuck if you're not watching. You don't want any harm to come of your dog while wearing dog clothes, so make sure that you don't leave jackets and sweaters on your dog long-term without supervision.
