Why Your Boston Terrier Should Wear a Coat in the Winter

If you’re tempted to purchase your pet Boston Terrier a coat to wear on chilly winter days but are unsure whether or not your precious Boston Terrier would benefit from such a purchase, simply continue reading to discover why your dog should wear a coat in winter.

1. Boston Terriers have short coats and benefit from the added warmth which a coat provides

The number one reason why Boston Terriers benefit from wearing winter coats on particularly chilly days is that dog breeds which have short coats, such as Boston Terriers can get cold during winter. Especially if you live in an area which snows. To learn more about how these pets react to cold and hotter weather climates, check out Fynn and Friends.

When it comes time to select a stylish yet functional winter coat for your pooch, make sure to look for a coat which will cover your Boston Terrier’s neck and stomach. Which are the two areas where dogs quickly lose body heat in cold temperatures. Also try to choose a coat which offers your dog neck to tail coverage, if you live in a particularly cold city.

2. If you get cold when you take your Boston Terrier for walks in winter, it’s highly likely that your pooch will feel the cold too

As Boston Terriers are active, lively breeds and it’s your responsibility as a dog owner to continue to take your dog for daily walks, even in winter, it’s important to ensure that your dog will be warm and comfortable on your walk. So if you require a heavy thick coat, to go for a winter walk, it’s a great idea to pop a warm coat onto your Boston Terrier.

3. Winter weather isn’t predictable and you don’t want to be caught in freezing temperatures without an extra layer for your beloved pet.

Another reason why you can’t get wrong dressing your Boston Terrier in a cute, warm coat in winter is that you never know when the weather may change during one of your daily walks. Especially if you enjoy walking along a coastal track or on hills, which are exposed to cold fronts.

So if you don’t want your dog to be cold, when the weather changes on your walk, it’s well worth placing a dog coat in a backpack to take with you on your walk.

4. If your home isn’t adequately heated your Boston Terrier may also feel the cold indoors

If your house doesn’t boast central heating and your family members tend to wear extra layers in order to keep warm, chances are likely that your dog will also feel the cold and will benefit from wearing a cute and cosy dog coat.

5. Boston Terriers were not bred for cold temperatures

While some dog breeds were bred to thrive in cold temperatures, Boston Terriers are best suited to moderate climates and appreciate having an extra layer of warmth in winter, in the form of a dog coat.

So if your Boston Terrier doesn’t already have a special winter coat, it’s well worth shopping for the perfect coat for your buddy! For more tips from NeighborGoods, check out our Blog Category!
