Keep Your Lovely Pooch Always Warm with the Best Dog Jacket

The selection of dog outfits has grown to include anything from pyjamas to carnival costumes, as well as sneakers, caps, and scarves. Jackets, however, continue to be the market leader.

First get the right size

If you want to choose a jacket as accurately as possible, you should focus on three parameters specifically for your dog:

• Coverage of the base of the neck.
• Coverage of the chest at the level of the elbows.
• Back length.

You will have to be creative if your pet has a peculiar constitution: short-legged and stretched format (dachshund, basset, corgi), square and tightly knocked down (bulldog), thin structure with a long back (greyhound). In this case, look at the largest parameter listed above.

It is possible that you will have to spend some time finalizing the finished model so that the dog is comfortable and does not interfere with anything. And sometimes the owners prefer to immediately order tailoring by individual measurements and design.

What material to consider?

Usually, overalls are designed for the autumn-spring and winter periods. Walks at this time often take place in puddles, mud, or snowdrifts, under falling snow, a blizzard, or heavy rain. The main task of clothing is to protect the dog from the weather as much as possible and keep it warm by covering the body, paws, and hips.

For a winter jacket, you will need an intermediate heating layer. More often, manufacturers lay a regular synthetic winterizer in order to achieve a balance between thermal insulation and lightness. It is extremely important that the clothes do not hang on the animal as a “dead weight” and do not interfere with movement.

Don’t forget about the style

Having decided on the size and materials, pay attention to the elements that the manufacturer equipped the model with. Key points:

• The inguinal selection is different – since dogs of different sexes go to the toilet in different ways, and the wrong choice will cause the dog to get his clothes dirty while walking.
• The jumpsuit should be easy to put on and fasten at the back – there is nothing worse than having to spend 10 minutes every time you have to “pack” the dog before a walk and “unpack” after.
• It is optimal if there are adjustable elements – elastic bands, suspenders, belts, and you can adjust the model to fit your pet.
• Fur collars and hoods are very impressive and cute, but is it really necessary for a dog? More often, such elements simply prevent the dog from moving its head normally.
• Getting ready for a walk does not end with dressing in a beautiful new overall. Do not forget that clothing should not interfere with the tight and secure location of the collar or harness on the dog.

A very useful, if not the mandatory attribute is reflective stripes on the fabric. They will be useful to you for exercise in the dark and in cloudy weather, as well as provide the necessary degree of safety for the animal near the roadway.
