I am ex-NYer, The Bronx, if you walk your boys for potty YES your boys need coats or sweaters, if you are pad training you still need coat or sweater for times you will be walking them out, NY gets cold. I mainly buy at Pet Supplies Plus cos they are the closest to me, but PetCo and PetSmart. They all have a pretty good selection of coats and sweaters. I would NOT take them out in the dead of winter without some kind of outer wear. I myself prefer a good quality sweater, I feel it covers more of their belly where hair is sparse and more skin is exposed. I always had girls, buying / making sweaters were easy, now I have adopted boy, first male I have ever had, buying / making sweaters is a bit different, sweaters you have to make sure they are cut shorter on the belly away from their wee-wee, coats you do not have this issue, they are cut higher on the belly area, same with T-shirts. I always take Cody with me so I can try them on him, stores are a distance from me for exchanging. I realize it would be more difficult taking 2 dogs and trying things on. YES some sort coat or sweater IS NEEDED for NY winters.
