If I'm lead walking in this weather my 2 have their coats on.

If their going to be free running I take their coats off cos they generate enough warmth from running about but I put their coats back on when we get back to the car.

If your dog seams cold and is shivering it could do with qa coat my lurcher is never cold indy the whippet can have a jumper and coat on and still be freezing. the others have coats on and off in verying degrees but I allways take there coats off when running but put them on after to stop them getting a chill. just like qan athalet does.

SOme whippets never were and never need coats its your choice
