Spitz-type dogs such as the Alaskan
malamute and the Huskies were bred for cold climates. These are
large dogs with heavy mass and thick coats that are able to
retain and maintain their body heat.

Boxer, Dalmatian and Great Dane appreciate a sweater in cold
weather. However, most of the dogs we have as pets in our homes
are from the medium to smaller dog breeds. These dogs, because

snow or slush can cause your dog to get frost bite and at best
it will certainly make her him not want to go outdoors for
exercise, walks and toileting.

the Greyhound) or specific brands and styles, you may have to
search out an on-line store that carries these products.
