Does Your Dog Need A Coat

I often find myself mocking the celebs on the red carpet or a club with their little doggy in a coat and handbag that probably cost more than my car - but for some dogs, when its cold, a coat is a good idea.

And then I remember that my dog, a Hairless Chinese Crested, has a jacket he wears outside - but that jacket is home-made, and he doesn't have any hair, except an awesome white mohawk.

Pricey couture is optional, but some breeds do need outerwear in the winter, veterinarians say. Small, short-haired, inactive dogs without a thick fur undercoat are more susceptible to cold weather.
