Yeh those are common. Stupid IMO...along with declawing...stupid and cruel. I hate it when people alter animals to tailor their preferences.
 
My mom used to put those on her old cat in the winter. They worked pretty well. The cat would get bored with it's scratching posts and tear up the furniture, bed sheets, heck anything it could in the winter because she couldn't go outside.

My dog is an Italian Greyhound. He doesn't have a lot of fur to keep him warm. The little coats and sweaters he wears in the fall and winter keep him from getting cold. There is no way he could go outside in cold weather without them. It would be cruel to NOT dress him.

Also, people put orange vests on their bird and rabbit dogs to keep them safe in the woods while hunters are out shooting. Don't forget sled dogs, they wear boots to protect their feet from ice.

People should pick the appropriate animal giving their weather. For instance, it would be cruel to buy a Bermese Mountain Dog, or a Husky, if you live in El Paso. Likewise, it would be cruel to buy an Iggy, if you live in northern Canada.


I'm not saying you are doing wrong having your Iggy in Michigan. Rather, the opposite. You are doing absolutely correct by getting a dog that is not built for the weather, and rectifying that situation.
 
Well, my Iggy is an inside dog. He does go out in the winter sometimes, but only for short walks to get the mail, or to go to "grandma's" house.
 
i have a yorkie-it was free and the woman didnt want it. hes a great dog. anyways, he is short and when it snows, if i take him outside to do his business and the snow is touching his belly he will get so cold he collapses in the snow and just whimpers. i got a sweater and it covers the belly..

he cant handle the heat well either-in the summer we take a mile long walk in the evenings, and even then he will walk in peoples yards in the ditches (where its cooler) and where the shade hits the grass..

some dogs arent well designed for any extreme weather.
