We live in Canada where it is colder than MI and our guy can go outside to do his business without anything on however he makes it pretty quick. If we are going to be spending anytime outside or going in the car, etc we always put a jacket on him. If your dog likes to go for walks and you will need to do that when you're away you may want to consider booties because they're feet can't take too much cold. Unfortunately long walks for us in the winter consist mostly of the car to Petsmart and around the store because his feet just can't take too much of the cold and snow. Our labs however, can stay out in the cold and snow for hours. |
