mine wears a hoodie or some sort of sleeveless shirt at ALL TIMES because he's always FREEZING (I have a tumor on my pituitary gland so I get VERY hot and so my apartment is always at about 50 degrees - which is 20 degrees warmer than it is outside...) and he will actually shivver to the point of TEETH CHATTERING without a shirt. In fact - once a week or so when we bathe him we leave him shirt-less for as long as we can but before nightfall he goes through his "bin" and picks out a shirt HIMSELF (lmao) and will carry it around in his mouth while following me all around lololol. My vet has seen him every week since we got him for shots and because he had a nasty ear-yeast infection and he has apx 25 assorted outfits that fit him (we change his shirt about every 3 days) and I wash them with johnson and johnson shampoo. Again, our vet, having seen the teeth-chatter himself while examining 'Star without his shirt - not only is fine with full-time clothing but advocates it - as this breed tends to run a body temp of 102-103 degrees and are prone to immuno-deficiency when cold and thus compromised.
