Does a dog/pup really need a jacket?

My 6 chihuahuas wear coats in the winter as their little tummies are very close to the ground. I wouldn't put a coat on them unless absolutely nescessary.

i normally put a raincoat on my puppy when it rains as he normally gets drentched through and starts shivering really quickly, plus his bellly gets all muddy. so i bought his raincoat from http://www.yumepetstore.com/acatalog/Base_Rain_Coat.html and it was cheaper from other sites i've seen around, so that was a bonus.

am thinking of buying a warmer jacket for winter when it gets really cold but am not 100% sure yet as they seem quite expensive... was thinking either http://www.yumepetstore.com/acatalog/Paddington_Duffle_Coat_Beige.html or http://www.yumepetstore.com/acatalog/Army_Zip-up_Parka.html

what do you all think?

Because we have a 'boy', I don't think he would appreciate a pink diamonte froo-froo number:shocked: & couldn't imagine any of wanting to walk him out in it either:D

Just thinking that there could be an opening for sports themed stuff, for the males in the household to want to cover up their pet pooches without fear of ridicule......along the lines of footie clubs, rugby, F1 teams.....hmmm, perhaps I've just given away a small fortune to some enterprising sewing enthusiast!

too late BigMummaF, i've already seen them online! lol...:rotfl:
