She's 12 years old and I've never bought clothing for a dog before.  Surely that will tell you that I'm not doing this to make a fashion statement but because she needs something to keep her warm.

Since he is older, it is like an older person, best not to get overheated and then chilled. You may wish to visit my site for some more fine selections of eco-friendly dog products, including coats. Enjoy your day. Smiles, Marlene http://nandugreen.com/index.php/Pets/Dogs.html Good luck in finding Artie a coat.
