Where to Buy Large Dog Coats for Winter

As we head into fall, and the temperature is dropping, it's time to start making sure your pet is ready for the chilly winter weather. Your dog will still want to go with you on any outdoor adventure, but you need to keep him or her safe in below zero temperatures. Whether your dog has grown out of or damaged the old one, or simply does not have one at all, now is the time to start looking, so you and your dog will be ready.

Even if you have one, a second one is useful, to have as an emergency one to leave in the car or for when one gets really wet or dirty, which is guaranteed to happen at least once. It is also a good idea to get one that fits a different niche, such as one that is better for more extreme cold, or one for more transitional temperatures, or any other situation. For example, if you found your dog's old coat was well-waterproofed, but you are planning longer adventures in freezing temperatures, and you suspect you need a warmer one, now is the time to look. Plus, it's a chance to get another cute thing for your fur friend!

Canadian Winter Dog Coats for Extreme Cold Weather

If you are looking for the best winter coat that gives enough warmth for a very cold winter climate for your pup, you need to buy a winter dog coat from a Canadian company. While you can find a dog jacket from anywhere, a Canadian company knows what freezing weather really is. To find a durable winter coat style that is great for keeping dogs warm, search for a company in Canada.

Moderately Cold Weather Dog Jacket

In a cold climate, even a transitional season is colder than what many winter dog jackets are designed for. Some may look puffy and snuggly, but don't actually do much for keeping dogs warm.

Again, a business that has experience with Canadian winters will have more experience with icy temperatures, and the different types of cold, as well as how to cope throughout it.

Transition Season Jackets

During fall and spring, you may need something more for keeping wet out. A waterproof outer shell is good for keeping water out, but frostier climates still need more warmth than a shell provides, even if full-blown winter has not yet arrived.

Water Resistant Jackets

This parka dog coat is water resistant and fleece lined, for the host of weather changes that can come in a single day, from a wet drizzle, to slush and sleet, to full snow. With a removable hood and collar that can be pulled up if necessary, it is an excellent dog jacket for variable conditions.

Some dogs hate the feeling of rain; if your dog is one of these, this dog coat provides full surface coverage, even over the back legs. The coat comes in sizes to fit even extra large breeds up to 200 lbs. Many owners of such large breeds often have trouble finding coats that fit properly, so finding one that does fully cover a big dog is an advantage, especially if yours doesn't like chilly rain or snow falling on him.

Heart of Winter Cold Weather Dog Jacket

When winter gets into full swing, this parka will still keep your dog warm and toasty.

Superior Insulation

This coat is insulated well, with extra thick 900 gsm fleece and faux sherpa lining and provides full coverage with the hood on, providing the insulation that is absolutely needed. It is warm enough for your pup to go for a good walk on most winter days. In unusually extreme weather conditions and plummeting temperatures, your dog will still be able to go out for quick breaks. The removable hood will protect delicate ears or can be taken off when it is milder.

Convenience

Since you need to be able to get a leash on and off your dog, without pulling a coat off, a leash portal or hole is critical; a leash easily fits through a joint between the detachable cap and coat, so you can keep your dog warm while leashing and unleashing.

Since safety is important, too, to keep your dog visible on dark winter days and winter nights that arrive earlier, reflective trim has been added to the shoulders.

Looking for a Winter Coat for Your Pup?

Haute Dawgs jackets have the perfect fit and are the best cold weather coat for your dogs. They are perfect, because one of our founders designed these coats for her own precious dogs to keep them warm during frosty, Canadian winters. She came up with the design to help her dogs manage the harsh Toronto winters, with extreme temperatures and massive snowstorms to contend with.

Haute Dawgs knows that most of the options for winter dog coats are too expensive, don't provide enough coverage, or are not convenient or useful enough for dogs going in and out lots. We aim to provide functional, convenient dog coats that actually keep dogs warm, regardless of the dog's size, because we know cold, and we love dogs.
