Wear

Most dog clothes fail one of three tests: they don't fit (too tight under the legs, too loose around the chest), they don't survive a real walk (zippers stick, fleece pills after two washes), or they look like a costume (bright pink ruffles on a senior pittie, no thanks). What's here passed all three.

The collection covers four categories:

  • Raincoats — full-body designs with attached boots that actually keep mud off all four paws
  • Jackets and sweaters — fleece-lined for sub-40°F weather, real cotton-fleece blend (not scratchy acrylic)
  • Life jackets — sized for actual swims at the lake, not just photos
  • Costumes — deliberately limited to the ones that don't look ridiculous on the dog

The leopard fleece jacket has a built-in leash ring so you can clip in without going through the harness in cold weather. Sizes XS to XXL by chest girth, free shipping over $35.

How do I measure my dog for clothes?

You need three measurements: chest girth (widest point behind the front legs), back length (base of neck to base of tail), and neck girth. Use a soft tape and don't pull tight. Weight alone is unreliable — too many short, broad dogs (corgis, bulldogs, dachshunds) get failed by weight-based sizing.

Small dogs and short-coated breeds (chihuahuas, greyhounds, pitties, boxers) lose body heat fast — most start shivering below 45°F. Senior dogs and puppies feel cold sooner. If your dog hesitates at the door or lifts paws off the cold ground, a jacket helps. Long double-coated breeds (huskies, shepherds) don't need them in most climates.

Yes — all jackets, sweaters, and raincoats are machine-washable on cold gentle cycle. Air-dry rather than tumble — fleece nap flattens permanently in a hot dryer. Costumes vary; check each product page.

Below 45°F for small or short-coated dogs, below 32°F for medium dogs, below 20°F for most large breeds. Wet conditions drop the threshold by 10-15°F (a wet dog at 50°F is colder than a dry one at 35°F). When in doubt, use the paw-lift test — if your dog won't keep all four paws on the ground, it's too cold.

Yes — all jackets are cut to allow a harness on top. The leopard fleece jacket goes one better with a built-in leash ring on the back, so you can clip directly to the jacket without removing it. Easier on cold days when you don't want to fumble with extra layers.
