Small dogs such as this

need protection from extreme weather. Dog booties prevent ice balls from forming
between dogs' toes.A rug is a covering or garment made by humans to protect their pets from the elements, as in a horse rug or dog coat.
Rugs are also used to protect the pelage of show animals, particularly if the wool or fleece is to be judged separately, as in alpaca fleece sent to an agricultural show, where it would be desirable to have the wool free from dirt and debris.
Dog coats may be used functionally but are also fashion accessories.
