First off, everyone on this topic has very valid points. The problem is that there is not 1 specific way to get the job done, we all have different ideas and for that matter different lifes. Take me for example; I'm a 9 to 5 type of person the majority of the time, so if the bad weather comes when WE are scheduled to work, we will have to work. I've used the dog jackets for a long time and I have never had a problem.If those fuzzy sled dogs can go for days in -30 below weather, my hounds can do the same in 0 degree weather for a few hours. Thats just me.
