Can my dog safely wear a fleece vest overnight in her wire crate?

Question

I just bought my dog a fleece vest to wear in the winter because she shivers, and it seems to help calm her as well. Would it be ok to leave it on at night? It's not restrictive and she doesn't chew at it or try to take it off. She sleeps in a big wire crate next to my bed with her brother. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 8 months and 14 days old | 15.6 lbs

I would advise letting Luna wear the jacket during the day and during nap time when you are home to monitor her. Sometimes the jackets can shift and she could get a leg stuck..etc. I would not advise to let her sleep in the jacket until you are sure she is not going to get stuck and have a panic attack and hurt herself. Providing a towel or bed will help to keep the little girl warm. Hope this helps.
