However, sometimes it makes sense to always wrap up your dog warmly on colder days: If your four-legged friend tends to get sick in low temperatures, additional weather protection is actually always advisable.
If the animal has a weakened immune system, is prone to inflammation in the pelvic area or often suffers from orthopedic problems in cold weather, a winter coat provides additional security and increases the chances of avoiding unnecessary illnesses.
Puppies that are not yet able to regulate their temperature very well, older animals and dogs that are prone to arthritis or hip dysplasia are also often provided with winter coats.
