"As autumn brings cooler temperatures and changing weather, dog owners should consider outfitting their pets in seasonal clothing for comfort and safety. While some breeds like Siberian Huskies and Saint Bernards have thick coats suited for the cold, many others can benefit from an extra layer of protection. Dogs with thin or short coats, such as Greyhounds and Chihuahuas, and those low to the ground like Corgis, often struggle to stay warm in colder weather."
"Beyond warmth, autumn apparel can shield dogs from unpredictable weather, including rain, wind, and mud. As days become shorter and darker, clothing with reflective materials is crucial for keeping dogs visible to drivers and pedestrians during early morning or evening walks, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. A few to consider are: Sweaters: To keep your dog or cat warm and comfortable on a brisk autumn day, sweaters will become their new best friend."
As autumn arrives, cooler temperatures and variable weather make seasonal clothing beneficial for many dogs. Breeds with thick coats such as Siberian Huskies and Saint Bernards usually tolerate cold, while thin-coated breeds like Greyhounds and Chihuahuas and low-to-ground dogs like Corgis often struggle to stay warm. Senior dogs can have reduced temperature regulation and worsening arthritis in cool air. Autumn apparel also protects against rain, wind, and mud. Reflective elements on clothing improve visibility during darker walks and reduce accident risk. Recommended items include sweaters, waterproof reflective raincoats, boots, and paw balms. Adoption and fostering of senior or disabled pets are encouraged.
