Dog Coats

Why your dog needs a coat

Pet life have fur to help keep themselves warm during the cold season, but it’s not enough, especially when the temperature drops to 1°C or 35°F, which can bring potential risks to their health.

What more if the temperature goes down even further to -17°C or 0°F? This is potentially life-threatening, and you must do all that it takes to keep your dog warm. Hence, the need for a quality dog coat.

Dog-coats are not just mere fashion statement for your pooch; these coats are necessary for most dog breeds, especially in extreme cold weather conditions.

Here are 4 major reasons why your dog needs a coat:

The Dog’s Breed & Size

Just like humans, pet life have different levels of cold temperature tolerance, but the bottom line is—they still get cold no matter how thick and long their skin and fur are. However, this level of tolerance is often determined by a dog’s breed and size.

Large dogs with long and thick hair rarely need the extra warmth that a dog coat provides. On the other hand, smaller dogs with short hair and relatively thin undercoat would love the extra warmth from a coat.

Tiny breeds or slender dogs need the warmest dog coats you can find. That's because more than any other breeds, they can rarely handle extreme cold, especially during harsh winter conditions.

Extreme Weather Conditions

Dogs can handle typical cold weather conditions. However, extreme cold can kick in, especially at the peak of wintertime.

So, as the cold months approach, it’s best to stand prepared by getting some warm clothing for your beloved pets.

Motivation for Exercise

Motivation is the second primary reason why coats for dogs exist. In a way, these coats help encourage your dog to go out for the sake of exercise or to answer the call of nature.

As some dog owners observed, most dogs hate stepping outside in the cold, which compromises their time for exercise. And, keeping them warm with a coat helps them conquer the chilly weather and motivates them to do whatever business they used to do outside during summertime.

The Dog’s Age

Just like you, as your dog ages, their ability or tolerance to handle cold weather may lessen. Always remember that dogs, unlike humans, can’t speak when they’re cold… and unlike birds, they can’t simply migrate to avoid harsh winter conditions.

So, it is your responsibility as owner to provide resources, such as warm luxury dog coats. These will keep your dog cozy during cold weather, especially if you have a young pup or a senior dog.
