Explore cosy fleece coats and jackets in sizes for the tiniest lap dogs and sturdy larger breeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypes of dog coats and jackets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin our \u003cstrong\u003edog clothing and accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e range, most of our coats are built around warmth, using soft fleece to hold heat against the body. A warm winter coat is the everyday choice for cold days, covering the back and chest where dogs lose heat fastest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor smaller dogs who feel the cold all over, a full-body jumpsuit reaches down the legs and under the belly, the parts that sit closest to cold, damp ground. A lightweight windbreaker vest takes the edge off the wind on merely brisk days, and a hooded coat adds extra coverage for the head and ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right style depends on how cold your walks get and how much your dog is happy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right dog coat size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right dog coat size matters more than breed. A coat that is too loose slips and snags, and one that is too tight rubs and restricts movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than going by breed alone, measure your dog with a soft tape: the back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, the chest girth just behind the front legs, and the neck. Back length is the measurement to trust, because straps can adjust the girth but never the length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right coat follows those numbers for a small, medium or large dog, not the label on the size guide. Our range covers extra small coats for the tiniest companions and larger coats for broad-chested dogs, so there is a fit for most shapes. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to slide two fingers between the coat and your dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDog coats with a built-in harness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of our coats do two jobs at once. Instead of layering a harness over the top or squeezing one underneath, these designs have a harness built in, or a sturdy D-ring on the back where a \u003cstrong\u003edog lead\u003c\/strong\u003e clips straight on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt saves a step on the way out of the door and keeps everything sitting neatly in place on the walk. If your dog already wears a \u003cstrong\u003edog harness\u003c\/strong\u003e, look for a coat with an opening that leaves room for it underneath. Either way, you keep warmth and control in one handy layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to look for in a dog coat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond warmth, a few things separate a coat your dog will happily wear from one that ends up in a drawer. Coverage comes first: a back-only coat is quick to put on, while a full-body design protects more of a cold-sensitive dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA secure fastening keeps the coat in place when your dog runs, and enough room through the shoulders lets them move naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also worth knowing the difference between water-resistant and waterproof. A water-resistant coat copes with a light drizzle, while heavy rain calls for a coat made specifically for wet weather, so always check what each one is designed to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuy a dog coat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best coat is the one that suits your dog's size and the weather you walk in together.
