Frequently Asked Questions

Do dogs actually need coats?

Every dog is different, as is everyone’s definition of cold. Depending on your dog’s fur type and their comfort in cold conditions (you know your dog best!) cold-weather dog gear like a dog jacket can make the difference between getting outside for an adventure and staying home.

What are the best dog coats?

The best dog coats are the ones that match your dog’s needs and the weather conditions. Wet weather? Look for something waterproof. Really cold? Look for lofty insulation. Dry and chilly? A fleece or sweater will do the trick.

Which dog breeds need winter coats?

Short-haired dogs and small dogs often need a little help staying warm in cool to cold conditions. Long-haired dogs can also benefit from a coat if they’re prone to getting snowballs forming on their underside. If you’re getting outside with your dog on cold-weather pursuits in inclement or winter weather, a jacket can be the difference between joining you for some exploring and staying home.

What dog coat is the warmest?

Dog coats and jackets with sleeves, high coverage, and lofty insulation offer more weather protection and warmth. Our warmest dog jacket is the Ruffwear Furness™ Jacket.

How do I measure my dog for a coat?

To find the right size coat for your dog, measure around the widest part of your dog’s rib cage. This is their girth measurement and how we size all our apparel, packs, and harnesses.
