If you have a dog or many dogs, you already know that they really need their exercise every day, even if it is raining or cold.
Some dogs are naturally built for the cold weather but others like smaller breeds are not and would welcome a warm knitted sweater.
Some dogs will not be impressed with your knitted efforts and reject the idea of wearing a sweater.
Large Dog Sweaters
Larger dogs and dogs with longer coats do not really need any extra warmth as they have their own insulation from the cold.
However, smaller dogs like terriers and chihuahuas get cold really easily, so need an extra layer.

Do Dogs Really Need A Sweater?
Some breeds like greyhounds, whippets, and other really skinny dogs need to have a sweater or jacket to protect them from the cold.
Plus any old dogs or those who have been rescued and perhaps have ill health would also benefit from wearing dog coats and sweaters.
Spend some time this fall making your dog a cozy sweater to wear during those crisp autumn walks.
