[NAGDU] Coats for Dogs

[Vivianna]

Hi. I have never used any coats for my dogs that were labs or shepherds. For the dobermans, yes. If the temp gets below 20F or so, i put a coat on my very short, single-coated doberman. Personally, if you have a lab or golden, i wouldn’t worry about it. Or, just get a light raincoat to keep the dog dry. You don’t want the dog to get to hot and uncomfortable either. And, i also have never used boots and, will never do so. I use Musher’s Secret, or another type of paw wax for the paws in winter if needed.

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.
