New York, New York (PressExposure) January 26, 2007 -- Dog clothes may seem frivolous until cold weather brings ice, snow and danger of hypothermia and frostbite. Recently, the northeast has been bombarded by fiercely cold winter weather, catching many off guard. It seems as though the mild winter we were enjoying is now gone. One group that’s hit hard is dog owners. They have no choice but to take their dogs out for walks. Many pets can’t just stay indoors for days like us to last through a cold snap. So what should a dog owner do to protect their pet from frigid temperatures? Grant Carroll, owner of http://www.littlepamperedpets.com , says “The solution is simple. They should bundle them up in dog clothes.”

A dog has a natural coat of fur, but when the temps drop this low, even that is not enough. It’s been proven that hair alone can’t hold in enough heat to prevent hypothermia and frostbite. This is especially true when the wind chill factor is in the negatives. An owner should definitely limit the amount of time a dog spends outdoors during this kind of cold, but extra protection from clothing will help. Dr. Bruce Fogle, prominent veterinarian and author, has said that “small dogs and delicate breeds with thin single coats may need additional protection from the winter rain and cold.” As Jack Frost continues to make himself at home in New York and throughout the northeast, dog owners should take heed and invest in some dog clothing.
