In the UK, we can experience extreme weather conditions – from summer heatwaves to winter frost. The weather here is very variable. I will admit that I absolutely hate the cold and always wear a warm jacket in the winter. But what about the dog?!?! We actually have a couple of warm dog coats that Blake wears on very frosty, rainy and snowy days. Today’s blog is all about the best dog jackets you can buy.
Here are some of the best that you can buy on Amazon:
Choosing the best Warm Dog Coat
When you are choosing a dog Jacket for winter, the two most important things to consider are material and size.
Measuring your Dog for a Dog Coat
It’s a good idea to measure your dog and note down the measurements in cm and inches. When you measure your dog for a dog coat you need to measure him or her from the base of the neck to the base of the tail (don’t include the head and tail when measuring for a jacket!). You can then use the size guide to buy the correct size for your dog. We actually took Blake with us to Pets at Home to try on his jacket so we got the perfect fit!
Best Material for Warm Dog Coats
Regarding material, it’s a good idea to get a waterproof coat so you would ideally be looking for one made out of Gortex with a fleece lining next to their fur and a waterproof outer layer. If you aren’t so bothered about it being waterproof then wool or cotton will keep your dog warm, but we prefer fleece. They also offer themed jackets
