Amidst the dark evenings, harsh weather conditions and plummeting temperatures, you may be wondering: does my dog need a coat this winter?
Many dog breeds are lucky enough to already have a long, thick, insulating coat to combat the cold. However, many of our four-legged friends are much more susceptible to chilly conditions and need to be protected from the elements.
Typically, smaller dog breeds - such as dachshunds, Yorkshire terriers, whippets and poodles - will be susceptible to cold snaps. However, larger dogs with short coats - dalmatians, greyhounds and staffies - can also suffer when dog walking conditions worsen. It's also important to keep your dog protected if they get wet for long periods of time or if they're a more senior or vulnerable animal.
This is where dog coats and jackets come into play...
Dog coats and jackets are so much more than a fashion accessory. In fact, you'll find that there's an outdoor layer that's tailor-made to your dog breed and the winter conditions that you'll be braving - from rain and wind to cold waves, storms and snowfall.
In our latest blog, Waterman's Country Supplies have put together a list of our very best dog coats and jackets for the winter season. From classic waxed coats and quilted jackets, to reflective layers and Extreme Blizzard protection, we've got everything you need to keep your canine covered when the winter cold bites.
