SmallDog hates his coat and won't walk in it.

[TheLogLady]

but he is short and thin haired so he needs one. any ideas? would a jumper be beter?

Have you let him go out and get a bit chilly? Then put the coat on him, maybe even warm it a bit on the radiator so that he feels the warmth.

Our dog wasn't keen to start with but likes her coats now.

Is he currently a teenager? If he is don't waste your energy

he doesn't seem to care if it's chilly. he's 2 and a bit so maybe just beeing a teeager still (or a bit thick)

or both????

Perhaps he's just a "hot" canine, just like some people are "hot" and others feel the cold?

You missed a trick there for a "hot dog" joke

Do you think he feels the cold? Does he shiver?

he shivvers when he comes in and runs around being mental sliding on floor until he's warmed up but doesn't look cold when he's out. but ike i said - he is a bit dim.

I was being restrained with the hot dog comment!

oh I want one of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!

smalldog is like that but black.

Can I have him?

Try a jumper in house to see if he gets used to it?

Aw, bless.

You probably need a cashmere jumper, so light that he hardly feels it. :o
