What temperature is too cold for my dog without a coat and booties?

Question

It is getting cooler outside here in Minnesota. At what temp should I start to uses Teddy's coat and booties? He loves being outside and the last snowfall ( just enough to cover the grass ) he just laid in it and rolled around. So he loves the cooler weather. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 10 months and 27 days old | 78 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In reality if Teddy likes the snow and he is comfortable outside you do not necessarily need the booties and coat unless you are staying for an extended amount of time (over 20-30 minutes). You can start using it when it is under 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It really depends on Teddy and what he tolerates. For my dogs I usually do it when it is under 20 degrees Fahrenheit based on what they tolerate specifically. Good luck!
