Keeping Your Dog Safe and Healthy During the Winter

4. Wrap your dog up in a coat

Dogs may have their own fur coats, but many breeds benefit from an extra layer of warmth in the wintertime. Thankfully, the market is filled with winter coats made for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Miniature breeds like Pomeranians and lean breeds like greyhounds struggle to generate enough body heat, so they'll need to wear a coat during winter. The same goes for dogs with short legs and long-haired breeds with short haircuts. Senior dogs of any breed will also be more comfortable in a coat when the weather is cold.
