Which dogs really need a coat? Is it a luxury or a necessity? Many breeds really do\u00a0benefit from wearing a winter coat or sweater and when the temperature plummets your\u00a0trusty hound will thank you for keeping them extra specially cosy and warm as well\u00a0as looking super stylish into the bargain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
The breeds that may need an extra layer include\u00a0 chihauhas,<\/a> toy terriers<\/a>,\u00a0miniature pinchers<\/a> <\/strong>as well as larger but very lean dogs like whippets and greyhounds.<\/a> Puppies<\/a><\/strong> and dogs recovering from illnesses could also benefit. And when the temperature drops below zero, or there is a biting wind or you are out for a longish walk in exposed countryside a coat will keep your dog super warm. However, vets do advise against dog sweaters<\/a><\/strong> for larger\u00a0long-haired breeds who are naturally equipped to survive in cold climates.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But which coat or sweater to choose? PetsPyjamas has a variety of dog coats and sweaters<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to suit every breed and budget. For rainy days choose a water resistant fabric coat such\u00a0as the\u00a0Ruffwear Sun Shower Jacket – Purple Dusk <\/strong><\/a>or the Navy Waxed Waterproof Dog Coat<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0Smaller dogs such as chihauhas and terriers\u00a0will love warm shetland sweaters that fit snug like the Teddy Maximus Navy Cable Knit Dog Jumper<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or the Moscow Duffle Coat by Fuzzyard<\/strong>.<\/a> Make sure you measure your dog properly to ensure that\u00a0the sweater adequately covers the whole body and is not too tight round the neck or\u00a0legs.\u00a0 If you are planning a trip to the country weekend away\u00a0 a\u00a0Mutts & Hounds herringbone tweed coat<\/a><\/strong> could be just the thing.<\/div>\n
