Should I get a coat/jumper for Maisy??

Hi Guys, Maisy is 12 weeks and fully vacinated, so iv taken on 2 little 10 minutes walks this weekend. As its so cold she seems to be really shivering when were out (although im sure thats partly nerves) Do you think she should wear a little coat or jumper?? im not one for dressing up pups for fun, im just concerned about her getting really cold

As she's still growing, I wouldn't go spending a small fortune on coats. Get a couple of cheap ones to see her through this winter!

When she's fully grown, however, I would highly recommend these:

The tankies are perfect for Westies.

They are practical, wash up really well and seem to be really hard wearing. I would definitely say a coat is worth getting.

If she is shivering yes get her a wee coat or jumper. If you can knit that's a cheaper alternative!

I hate them, personally, but as she's so young, and it's so cold, I would agree to getting a coat.

Yes, coats are a must for pups in cold weather like this!

Personally, I'd get a pink girly one but that's just me

Pets At Home have some lovely ones

Yes whilst it is so cold.

When it was snowng last weekend I went to the sausage shop round the corner, came out to find two little girls, waiting outside holding a beagle pup that was sooooooo cold!
They had hats and gloves etc I just couldn't understand why they had the pup out in that, it was shivering so hard.
