What makes a good dog coat?
Written by N |
When temperatures drop, our four-legged friends deserve extra protection against the cold. A good dog coat not only provides protection against cold and precipitation but must also be comfortable and functional. Not every dog has the same needs, so it’s important to choose the right coat that suits your dog’s breed, size, and lifestyle. In this blog, you’ll read the key points to consider when choosing the perfect dog coat.

What to look for when choosing a dog coat?
A good dog coat not only provides warmth but must also be comfortable and functional. When choosing a dog coat, pay attention to the following points:
Warmth & insulation
First, check if your dog needs a coat. Some dogs naturally have a thick coat that keeps them warm, while other breeds—such as short-haired dogs, small dogs, and older dogs—are more sensitive to cold. In those cases, a coat with a warm lining made of fleece or thermal material is a good choice. These materials retain body heat and protect against the cold.
For dogs that only need light protection, such as during autumn or on chilly spring days, a lighter, water-repellent coat may be sufficient. Pay attention to the thickness of the coat and match it to the outside temperature and your dog’s sensitivity to cold.
