Dog coats: warm & protective
A dog coat isn’t just a luxury. Some dogs need extra protection on cold or wet days to stay healthy and comfortable. Think of small breeds, short‑haired dogs and seniors.
Sizing & fit
Choose a coat that fits well without restricting movement. Measure your dog’s chest girth, the length from neck to tail base and neck circumference. The coat should be snug enough to retain warmth yet roomy enough for your dog to move comfortably.
Materials & features
Look for water‑ and wind‑resistant fabrics; fleece or softshell for light rain and padded coats for very cold weather. Check for reflective trim, adjustable straps and a leash opening.
Care & maintenance
Check the washing instructions, wash the coat regularly and inspect for wear like loose seams or tears.
