Default Cold gear for cold intolerant dogs?

Hey guys. So I woke up later this morning and found out all of the ground is covered in snow. Bad news for me because the back yard is a literal slope. Easier to fall I'd guess.

I took out my little maggie along with sasha-- and sasha was a-ok the cold did not seem to bother her. Even when her body was shaved down 2-3 weeks ago. (sasha is a cockapoo, and maggie is what appears to be a chihuahua or a russian toy terrier)... But maggie was shivering to no tomorrow.... She knew she wouldnt go back in until she peed(usually it's like that) so she found a spot and wasted no time turning around. She just peed on the spot.

Had she needed to go? Probably not as much as sasha because we walk her out really late and she doesn't seem to drink a lot of water in direct comparison to sasha.She literary drinks 3 sips and that's it. Sasha downs half of the water bowl in a sitting. Though sashas bowl is bigger for obvious reason... the size of the dog shouldn't be too much of a concern because sashas only twice her size.


So, maggie had a sweater ontop of another sweater. Because the other day it was nippy and she was shivering a bit too....


We live far from the nearest pet store and I was busy this week doing preparations. When I looked for a jacket the week before I didnt see anything suitable for her asides those walmart sweaters... :/ Which she seems to chew on sometimes.


So my question is. Is there something that could help keep my dog warm? like a heat vest or something? or something like that...

Any shoes I could use on her for the snow?
