For example....Kandi gets cold VERY easily. She has been known to shiver so hard that I've taken her to the vet thinking she might be ill. She just gets that cold. Pj's are an enormous help for that. It's not the only thing we do, but it's a pretty major part of it.

Also, when we have other dogs visiting, they can become so worked up that it gets a little out of control. By putting pjs on everyone, it keeps the situation much calmer and easier to control.

So, I would have to say that pj's are no more out there than dresses.

I don't mind putting Derby in a shirt or a sweater or a coat because he's cold or needs an extra layer. I know that because we live in Canada, that he'll need booties to protect his paws from the salt/snow.

I think "dressing up" your dog everyday just because is a little silly, but it's cute to put them in a halloween outfit or something for 5 minutes lol Although I've never done it and probably never will.

Pajamas just seems so "extra" and unnecessary? but I guess we'll find out if Derby needs to keep a shirt on (or pajamas) once the temperature really starts to drop.

Thanks for the info ~ You've all been really helpful!!

Gizmo just wears a loose tshirt when it gets cold, but Kandi needs the flannel in the pj's. She needs more warmth than the regular tshirt material.

Although you think "dressing up your dog everyday just because is a little silly" there are plenty of websites and stores selling dog clothes and not just for toy dogs such as yorkies but for large dogs such as labs....remember dogs are becoming substitute children for many and silly or not, people are paying money to buy clothes for there dogs. So don't knock it. It makes them and the many of the dogs happy.

I also got Bonnie some jammies this year. I was afraid she would get cold during the day when we were gone and the heat is turned down a little.
I got some adorable knit ones from Go Fetch, and some pink thermal ones from WalMart.com

Put thermo pj's on two of mine....the two senior girls. They refuse to snuggle in the sleep sacks I have. Chipper loves to dig into the sack and stays there all night. The girls are both on the skinny side, especially Cocoa since she struggles with EPI and keeping weight on.
