Why is a dog coat useful?

A dog coat has long been more than just a stylish accessory: for some breeds, clothing is essential. In some dogs, the undercoat thickens on cold winter days, naturally keeping them warm. However, breeds originally bred for warm climates but now adapted well to colder weather need protection during the winter months, as they don’t tolerate colder temperatures well. In the cold, their muscles tense up and they begin to shiver. With a dog coat or jacket, you can equip both a small dog like a Chihuahua or Dachshund and a large one like a Greyhound for daily walks in rain and snow.

These dogs need a coat.

Whether your dog freezes outdoors depends not only on its natural temperament but also on factors such as the intensity of its activity, the density of its coat, and the animal’s age.

• Newly shorn or short-haired dogs, as well as hairless dogs like the Chinese Crested, are especially sensitive to cold and damp.
• However, large breeds with fine coats and slender breeds also have problems with low temperatures.

Therefore, it’s common to see Dalmatians, Boxers, Greyhounds, or Dobermans wearing winter coats or raincoats to protect themselves from the cold.

• Small dogs have their bellies closer to the cold ground and therefore get cold faster than large dogs. They need a coat or sweater to protect their bellies.
• Older dogs are no longer as active outdoors and get cold more quickly. With a dog coat, they will also be fully protected in winter during their leisurely walks.

How does dog clothing protect?

When it comes to functional dog clothing, it’s important that coats, jackets, sweaters, etc., fit properly and are adjustable, for example, with Velcro closures. For canine sports, a coat should also offer freedom of movement, be water-repellent and windproof, protect from the cold, and be reflective in the dark.

• Dog Coat – The Right Material: The inner lining of the coat reflects body heat. Of course, the material must be comfortable and cozy. That’s why HUNTER pays special attention to selecting high-quality, cozy fabrics, such as soft fleece. After all, the clothing shouldn’t bother your pet and should keep them warm.
• Dog Coat with Belly Protection: For dogs with little hair on their bellies, it’s best to choose a coat with belly protection that can be adjusted with Velcro closures. This comprehensive protection prevents colds.
• Dog coat with harness: A coat with a zipper and opening for a harness is ideal for agile dogs who prefer to wear a harness and don’t want a collar.
• Dog raincoats: A dog raincoat should be water-repellent and breathable, and also protect your furry friend from strong winds.
• Dog shoes that protect against salt and snow: Dogs’ paws are sensitive and are affected by grit or road salt in winter. There are dog shoes that protect their paws from redness, slipping, and frostbite on icy surfaces. With non-slip soles, your dog’s outdoor fun can continue even in winter.
• Protective dog vests that ensure safety in the dark: In our online dog accessory shop, you can also find vests with reflectors so road users can clearly see your dog at dusk.

As you can see, dog clothing isn’t just a cute accessory for lapdogs, but a practical and functional accessory for cold days. Equip your four-legged friend for their walks in autumn and winter!
