Louis my Vizsla is nearly 1 year old.

He will be coming to work with me soon and will spend the day on the farm in a secure outdoor enclosure with a kennel.

He seems to feel the cold a lot and is currently sitting next to me curled up and shivering.

Just a moment ago he was resting against the radiator for warmth.

I have lined his kennel with carpet and have bought him a fleece lined waterproof jacket for when he is outside, but I am now thinking he needs something for inside the house.

We already have given in and let him sleep in the lounge at night rather than his bed in the colder kitchen.

Surely a Vizsla shouldn't be feeling the cold this much?
It's not even frosty outside and the house isn't that cold.
He will have a shock later in the year when it really is cold.

So what dog jumpers or fleeces are worth buying?

My friend's Vizlas feel the cold and start shivering. They have a fleece which goes up the neck as well. They adore them, will ask and let you know the brand.

Check to see if her feet are cold. She may need boots outside as well.

I'll keep an eye on this thread for jumper/coat ideas as our Frenchie feels the cold, she's ok at the moment however I remember last year in the winter she struggled a bit and shivered when out on a walk when it was cold, she has a very thin coat.

I have a coat ready for Bryn but may need to consider a jumper for the house. He is smaller and more slender than our last whippet Jimmy and I think he is going to feel the cold even more than Jimbo did. I'll be interested in recommendations aswell smile
