statement with a variety of small dog coats to suit the temperature.

The same goes for chilly days of
summer and spring. Even in the best of climates, the weather can turn stormy and cold. Don't miss a
refreshing walk when you can just grab a small dog sweater and go.

Small dog clothes, at night... On night-time walks, a reflective coat is a good idea, along with a reflective leash just to make sure that people see you and your dog approaching. You know how those small dogs can be so intimidating to strangers
On the boat, be it a yacht or pontoon...When you don your life jacket, make sure that your dog
has one also. They are readily available for small dogs and come in bright colors for good visibility.
It's a really safe measure just in case Trixie accidentally lands in the drink. Though dogs are good
swimmers, they do not have the endurance to swim for very long. Life jackets are a must have.
On hot days... a light cover up - perhaps a whimsical t-shirt would be just the right sun
protection. Some of the small dogs with thin skin or sparse coats, are very susceptible to sunburn, so
it's a good idea to keep them covered.
