Do dogs need coats

Most dogs already have coats of fur that they shed in the summer, and wear in the winter. If you have a dog who does not shed, then they have hair like you and me. If you let it grow long in the winter and cut it in the summer, your dog will be warm and happy. If you have a dog who has very short hair (chihuahua's) or no hair at all, then a coat may be a good idea. Most dogs I know will put up with coats if they keep them warm, but generally do not like the heavy thing hanging on them all the time. Yes, it is cute to dress your dog up occasionaly, but I think they will thank you not to do it very often. I hope this answers your question.
