Just got Topher his first set of boots so he's all ready for the snow. I just hope the jacket I have for him will be warm enough. Do you find the polar fleece to be the best? Does it cut the wind enough? It's his first full winter so I guess it'll be trial and error with the clothes.

Yeah, you really have to experiment to see what works best for you and your dog. Eddie (9 pounds) and Jack (4 pounds) have far different needs. Eddie is fine in a wool sweater or any kind of fleece. Jack needs something to cut the wind, so either polar fleece or a combination of fleece under and nylon over works best for him. It's the booties that will make the biggest difference. Simple is better. I find the easier they are to put on, the more apt I am to go to the trouble and the more the pups seem to tolerate them.

Good luck. Can't wait to see pictures!
