I do it, but only with dogs who indicate they are struggling to keep themselves warm. I don't think  foster boy Albert had ever worn a coat before and to be honest he seems to have a thick enough coat, but he's quite unsettled when he is cold. He started with a single layer one, and currently a double layer one. It was 0 degrees with very high winds last week and he wore his coat solidly for 3 days. If I tried to remove it he growled at me! So I monitor the weather and him and respond accordingly!

I just found a coat in my dog goodies stash that fits Alice my foster dog, and she is wearing it in the mornings when the temps are around 5 degrees. She sleeps in a nice heated room with me at night, so doesn't need it until I get up and start moving about and the rest of the house is cold. We take it off once the day warms up.
