We moved to AK as well after living in Cali. Were back now, but it was something for Merlot to get used to. During winter we dealt with -50 degree weather! I tried many different coats and sweaters and booties. The ones that he and I both liked best were the fleece ones. They have fleece jumpsuits to cover his front and back legs which are really warm. We tried tuffy boots, but they just wouldn't stay on his feet and made him walk funny. The fleece booties worked best. There came a point when he got acclamated to the weather, but I still had to watch him closely. If he began shivering we would come back in. I always rinsed his feet in warm water when we came in as well. Snowballs get stuck on them! He developed frost bite on his ears at one point. Poor little guy. The vet told me from then on to keep cocoa butter on them and that helped alot.
Anyhoo- I think that about covers it!!
