For those of you that have indoor dogs, do you put a coat or sweater on your dog when they go outside and it's freezing temperatures? Why or why not?

I used to when he was a baby, but not anymore. I bought a blue sweater for him and put "mukluks" on his feet, to protect him from the snow and salt on the sidewalks. Now that he's grown up, I don't do that anymore. I have an Akita---they're pretty equipped to handle the cold weather, even in Canada.

Sometimes we do. She used to have "issues" going potty in the cold. She would sit in the snow and shiver but refuse to go potty, so we bought her a sweater hoping it would help. Turns out she LOVES the sweater...but still hates going out in the cold! haha

My boxers a pussy but she goes out real fast and runs to the door so no sweater. She stole my mothers snuggie as her "dog pillow" though for the inside.

On the real cold days, yes ... (because she likes to "piddle around" too much before getting her business done)! She would piddle so much that, by the time she started her business, she was shivering so bad she would almost fall over. So my wife bought her a sweater (and she actually loves that thing)!

Two big German Shepherds would .look silly in coats. They did have raincovers. Not a lot of use putting them on when they were exercising because they used to run into the lake and swim after the swans.
