Dogs can wear coats to protect them from the elements. Some reasons why dogs should wear coats may include:
-
Cold: When it's cold outside, a coat can keep your dog warm and protect him from wind and rain.
-
Wetness: A coat can protect the dog from wetness and moisture, especially in rain or snow.
-
Old or sick dogs: Older or sick dogs may be more sensitive to cold and wet weather and may need a coat to keep them comfortable.
-
Short coat: Dogs with short coats or no undercoat may need a coat to protect them from cold and wet conditions.
It is important that the coat fits well and is comfortable for the dog so as not to restrict his freedom of movement.
