What temperature is too cold for my dog?

When temperatures drop below 32°F (0°C), many dogs may require extra warmth from a coat. Small breeds, short-haired dogs, seniors, and those with health issues are particularly vulnerable to the cold. Always monitor your dog for signs of discomfort, such as shivering or reluctance to go outside.

How do I choose the right size winter coat for my dog?

To select the perfect size winter coat, measure your dog’s neck circumference, chest girth (just behind the front legs), and back length from the base of the neck to the tail. Use these measurements against our sizing guide to find a comfortable fit that allows freedom of movement without being restrictive.

Can my dog wear their coat indoors?

While some dogs may be comfortable wearing their coats indoors during extreme cold spells, it’s generally best to remove them once inside. Dogs can overheat in centrally heated homes, so monitor your pet's comfort level and remove the coat if they seem too warm.

Are there specific breeds that need winter coats more than others?

Yes! Breeds with short fur, such as Greyhounds and Chihuahuas, as well as older dogs and puppies, typically require winter coats due to their inability to retain body heat effectively. Additionally, any dog that appears uncomfortable in cold weather should be considered for a coat.

How can I get my dog used to wearing a coat?

Start by introducing the coat gradually at home. Let your dog sniff and explore it before putting it on. Reward them with treats and praise when they wear it successfully. Short outdoor sessions can help them acclimate before longer walks in colder weather.
