[DOES YOUR DOG NEED A COAT?]

When getting a dog, we are not restricted in our choice of dog breed.

It means that nowadays, dogs who are not supposed to live in colder climates end up in conditions to which they are not adapted.

And even dogs with double coats are not necessarily feeling comfortable in cold weather — since they're spending most of their day inside warm flats.

If where you live the weather gets very wet, windy and/or temperatures get low, and you are in doubt if your dog needs a coat, here is some guidance.

Yes, your dog NEEDS a coat, if any of these apply:

🟡 If your dog does not have a double coat.

🟡 The smaller your dog, the higher chance your dogs will need a coat.

🟡 If your dog has a low amount of body fat (all sighthound breeds, underfed and dogs with health issues).

🟡 Puppies and older dogs will likely need a coat, their metabolism and body temperature control is very different to adult dogs.

🟡 Dogs with various health issues, mobility difficulties and even stiff muscles.

We would like to especially underline the last point. Most mobility issues in dogs are not diagnosed, so this may get very tricky. 🤔

Here is an example of Heidi:

Heidi has a very fluffy undercoat (so fluffy I constantly drink her hair in my tea, if you know what I mean).

When the temperature falls below zero, we see that:
🚩 Heidi starts walking faster
🚩 her muscles get stiffer in general
🚩 she scratches herself more
🚩 she is more nervous/reactive

We also know that Heidi has an old healed injury in her back, which is still causing discomfort in her body.

All these hints help us to understand that yes, Heidi needs a coat, even if she has a thick undercoat.

Now that Heidi's wearing a coat, her muscles are less tense, she feels less discomfort and behaves more calmly. ✅
