Does my greyhound need a coat at night?
You might need to put a warm coat or jacket on the dogs, especially in the evenings and overnight.

Do Greyhounds need coats in the winter?

Heat regulation may decline with age, making even a thick-coated dog uncomfortable in the cold.
At what temperature should a dog wear a coat outside?
