Some short haired dogs with very little body fat (e.g. greyhounds) would be very uncomfortable on a walk if it's below 32 degrees. I guess you could argue "don't have dogs like that in cold climates" although I feel worse for the huskies and malamuts that are owned by people in warm weather climates.Okay, now that we’ve beaten the dogs in strollers issue to death. What in hell is wrong with these people that dress their dogs up like they’re going to a fashion show? I see it for Pomeranians and other tiny breeds for some perverted self righteous interest. But what self respecting German Shepherd, Doberman or a hunting dog wants to be dressed like a freak when he goes for a walk?
Don’t give me the wether nonsense, because God gave them a furry coat. And if you leave your dog outside for prolonged periods in really cold weather, you shouldn’t have a dog? Unfortunately that’s a different story. But this dressing them in coats, hats and God forgive booties, for a walk is a sign of a really demented individual.
(for the record, my dog doesn't own any articles of clothing, but is a golden retriever who loves the snow and cold).
But yes, I agree, pets should not be "dress up dolls"
