Dogs were naturally wild animals and even though they have become domesticated they have not lost their furry coverings; like we did when we descended from apes to humans. A dog is actually very good at regulating their body temperature and manage to maintain an average temperature of 38 degrees Celsius regardless of their environment.
However this can not be taken to either extreme, a dog left in the snow over night without adequate shelter may not survive to the morning. On the other extreme, a dog left in a car on a hot summers day can not keep their temperature low enough and can die from heat stroke.
So if your dog is shivering it is their natural response to being a bit cold and they heat themselves back up. It does not mean rush out and buy some clothing for your pooch! Like I said in my previous Doggy Style post, I am not 100% against all doggy clothing...but PJs????
There is also the small detail of the website selling these stating that they should only be "used under supervision". So not only do you have to be silly enough to buy these PJs, you also have to be silly enough to stay up all night watching that they are not getting themselves tangled in them.
So, science lesson over....lets look at the pyjamas!!!
P.S - How are they going to go to the toilet???? ;-)
