Winter is coming.
So to help you guys out we’ve rounded up our favourite dog coats for winter – and those tricky fall and spring transitional seasons where the weather changes on dime.
Things to Consider When Shopping for Dog Coats for Winter
When it comes to picking the perfect winter coat for your dog, it’s not just about looking adorable (although, let’s be honest, that’s a big bonus). Think about:
- Fit
- Warmth
- Function
You want a coat that allows your pup to move freely, keeps them snug without overheating, and actually stays on during walkies. Check the sizing charts—every brand is different—and don’t forget to measure around the neck, chest, and length from collar to tail. A good rule? If it looks like your dog could moonlight as a sausage roll, it’s too tight.
Next, consider your local weather and your dog’s lifestyle. A lightweight, water-resistant layer is great for milder climates or quick coffee runs, while thicker fleece-lined or waterproof styles suit snow days and long adventures.
Reflective details are a win for early-morning walks, and coats with harness holes save you from leash-threading gymnastics. Basically, choose comfort first, style second—but luckily these days, you can easily have both.
We’ve included something for every budget, and all shapes, sizes and breed of dog.
Let’s get our coat on…
Hemingway’s London Mono Dog Coat – Grey
These signature style coats are crafted with high quality leathers and 100% cotton fibres – making them second to none in quality. But they’re not just a pretty face – their tail vent cut outs and velcro fastenings make them super comfy and easy to use.
Pablo & Co Peach Puffer Vest
So on trend, this puffer is a go-to to take your pup through fall to winter – perfect for crisp park playdates and lazy avocado toast filled brunches. Water resistant and wind proof it’s as durable as it is cute.
FuzzYard Go Nuts Wrap Vest
These fleece lined wrap vests are so popular that their first batch sold out. Machine washable, with velcro straps and a snuggable lining to keep your pup toasty, you can see why. They come in a range of fun designs and have literally just been restocked so grab yours before it’s gone.
Dharf Dog Jacket and Lead Set
The result of design, fashion and innovation, Dharf’s dog winter jacket is also a harness. Yep it’s all combined in one – made with 100% water repellant cotton and fully lined with Sherpa-fleeced for warmth. The future is here!
