Keeping Your Dog Warm this Winter: Best Dog Winter Coats

During the cold winter months it is important to make sure that not only you are bundled up but that your dog is too. 

Though some dogs are built for the colder weather and do not need an extra layer, other dogs are just as vulnerable to the cold weather as we are. 

When considering if you should buy your dog a coat or what kind of coat to purchase, it is important to take into account your dog’s breed and the climate. If it is not too cold where you live one might consider buying a more lightweight coat so your dog does not become too warm during walks. For more intense winters, it is recommended to make sure your dog has a coat that is not only insulated but waterproof so even through the rain and snow they can remain warm.

Here are some of the most recommended dog winter coats:
