Dog Coats for all occasions

Picking The Right Jacket For Your Dog
British weather can not be relied on from one day to the next. Monday- snow, Tuesday - sunny, Wednesday- gale force winds, the only thing we can be sure of is you are guaranteed to get wet at some point! For more information on deciding if your dog needs a coat see my previous blog
I try and test all the products I sell on my willing volunteers. This year is slightly different than the past as I lost my Doberman Waffle who was the best tester of jackets as elderly and felt the cold but still very active. Some of her favourites are still on the below list (although new colours now available) and the Ruffwear K-9 Overcoat is still one of the best jackets available for functionality, durability and fit in my opinion.
Tried and tested
Jacket 1 - Ruffwear K-9 Overcoat
Waffle in her Ruffwear K-9 Overcoat.
Waffle was 11 when she passed and always felt the cold and hated getting wet, this jacket was ideal to keep her warm and dry
- Relaxed Fit with vest coverage and side-release buckles for easy on/off
- Burly weather- and abrasion-resistant shell fabric
- Warm, comfortable fleece lining
- Leash portal on back is compatible with most harnesses
Please note this colour no longer available
Jacket 2 - Ruffwear Lumenglow

- High-vis, high-contrast colors for visibility
- Weather- and abrasion-resistant shell fabric sheds light moisture
- Reflective side panels for visibility in low light conditions

Jacket 3 - Ruffwear Sun Shower Jacket
The Ruffwear Sun Shower Dog Jacket has a waterproof shell and is just the jacket for getting outside and exploring as the weather changes. The fold-up storm collar and TailGate™ patterning offer extended coverage over the neck, rump, and thighs to keep dogs dry in wet conditions. Lightweight and non-insulated, the Sun Shower both excels as a standalone shell and layers well over an insulating mid-layer for rain management in colder temps.
Jacket 4 - Ruffwear Vert Dog Coat
Lupo is an 8 year old German shorthaired Pointer. These frosty mornings he is starting to feel the cold so felt a little extra would be good for him. He is very active but does get chilly!
