Larger dogs with thick coats can withstand frigid temps but we even see them in sweaters and coats when they are out for walks. Our friend, who has a big Lab, always puts boots on her when she goes out in the snow. Otherwise, her pawpads get chapped and cracked. I think that any caring, well-informed pet owner would not be so stupid as to endanger their pet's health for a "fashion statement". Of course, that's just my opinion!
