For those of us, pet parents, that live in places where it gets cold, sweaters, blankets and beds for our dogs is a must. My cousin, a couple of years ago, who lives in Ecuador had a good laugh at my expense when I told her that I make my dogs wear sweaters. Now on her defense, let me tell you that where she lives, a beautiful place in Ecuador called Playas, the heat and humidity feels as if someone turned on the oven and stuck you in it.

Regardless of your dog’s age, having the appropriate supplies, equipment, food, etc. for your dog is important. Don’t worry if people laugh at you. Look at it this way, you made someone laugh even though it was at your expense. Bundle up and enjoy your walks!
