Editor's Notes
April 14, 2020:
Choosing the right coat for your dog isn't always easy. For instance, some short-haired breeds might need a light coat all year round, while some may benefit from an extra layer just in the winter months. If you live in a particularly cold climate, you definitely want to make sure your animals are as warm as they can be, especially when you take them on walks outdoors.
If you have a short-haired breed consider checking out the Ultra Paws Comfort or the Hurtta Expedition Parka. Both will provide a great amount of warmth for these dogs that often have a harder time staying warm.
For those with a smaller pup, you might consider the Gooby Padded Vest or the Vecomfy Hoodie. Both are designed to keep little dogs warm with fleece and cotton inner linings.
Finally, for those fashion forward types that want some added heat for their pup but also want a cool look, check out the Pet Craft Supply Pea Coat or the Baja Ponchos Serape Blanket. Both work as coats, but they can also double as outfits that will make your pet even cuter than before. If you want something that's purely for fun, head over to our dog costumes list for all sorts of ideas.
While a couple of these choices are waterproof or water resistant, if you live somewhere that is particularly rainy, you might like to check our list of dog raincoats which are built to keep your puppy dry.
