[NAGDU] Coats for Dogs

[carcione at access.net]

I think some dogs need coats, and some don't, though they all might appreaciate one when it gets really cold.  
Most of my dogs have been OK walking, but got cold if we had to stand and wait for a bus, so I'd put a coat on if we were going to do that. 

Last time I bought a coat, which was a while ago, I went to Petco and tried on a few until I found one that seemed warm and sturdy and gave his legs free movement.  And, if possible, was long enough to cover his back but not so long on the belly that it would interfere with a guy taking a pee.

Subject: [NAGDU] Coats for Dogs

Hi everyone,
I have a question concerning cold weather and coats for dogs. I currently live in the southwest and we have pretty mild winters. But in the fall I’ll be moving to Idaho. So I’m wondering at what temperature do you get a coat for your dog? I assume that my dog will eventually adjust to the colder weather, but I want to make sure he is comfortable and able to do his job.
If you have a coat for your dog, where did you get it? I would love some recommendations.
Thank you,
Shelby
