What kind of dogs should wear sweaters or hoodies?

Types of pups that should wear dog sweaters and hoodies include those with health conditions, short hair, smaller in size, and elderly. Some specific breeds that benefit from sweaters and hoodies are Greyhounds and Whippets, because they need the extra warmth due to their short coat. Elderly dogs and smaller dogs can sometimes get chilled faster than other types, which makes them also great candidates for sweaters and hoodies. Consult your vet with any questions.
