My parents used to put a little wooly jumper on our old BT at night as he started to really feel the cold. I think, as with anyone who is elderly, they do feel the cold a lot more than youngsters do and we must do anything to make them more comfortable in their twilight years

I have a 14 year old whippet . She wears a coat to bed at night . Also during the day if it's cold . She has various ones depending on how cold it is . It keeps her happy and that's the main thing .

I do with my Oldies. If their ears feel cold, I put a fleece on them. It`s quite draughty at floor level, you know.
