In general, your pet’s fur is enough to keep them warm, although in many cases we help them by adding an extra layer, such as a jumper, a coat, a waterproof jacket or another accessory.
When cold weather arrives, some dog breeds may need extra protection to stay warm during outdoor walks.
Benefits of putting a coat on our best friend
- Protection against low temperatures. Especially for smaller or slimmer breeds, coats and jumpers are ideal for maintaining body temperature.
- Prevents cold and rain from becoming a problem. Waterproof coats help keep pets dry during walks and prevent them from getting cold in low temperatures.
- Protects your pet against mites and parasites. If your dog moves through humid areas, forests, or tall grass, it helps protect them from ticks, mosquitoes and other germs.
- Comfortable and stylish design, allowing your pet to relieve itself comfortably without soiling the coat.
Some exceptions where using a coat is recommended
If your dog has long fur and it has been trimmed, it is recommended that during the adaptation period to their new coat you help protect their skin so they do not feel too vulnerable.
Senior dogs suffering from arthritis or other joint issues should wear a coat in winter, at least at the beginning of walks. Once their muscles have warmed up, it is advisable to remove the garment.
When dogs are young, only certain breeds such as Greyhounds, Dobermans, Chihuahuas and hairless dogs need to wear a coat to protect them from the cold.
Puppies also need extra protection when going outdoors during the winter months. This is because their immune system is not yet fully developed.
How to choose the best coat for your dog
- The coat should cover the entire back, from the base of the neck to the tail, as this is the area most exposed to the elements.
- The neck is a very vulnerable area and should not be left unprotected.
- Avoid rigid or overly padded garments that may restrict your dog’s mobility.
- Elastic fabrics are very comfortable and warm. They are also suitable for both indoor use and outdoor walks.
- It is recommended to combine the coat with a waterproof layer to protect against rain and snow.
