Latest Winter Fashion Trends For Your Pet
Maria Leindecker
Winter is a time when you need to keep yourself and your pet warm. Dogs are sensitive to winter, especially the puppies, old dogs, and sick dogs. Therefore, it is important to provide protective coverings for your dog’s body and feet. Winter clothing are even more important for your pets if you intend to take them outdoors for a long time during winter.
This article aims to let you some of the latest dog clothing that can effectively protect your pets against the adverse weather condition of the winter period, as well as help you show off your dog’s fashionable side.
Dog Sweaters
Sweaters help your pet stay warm and they come in a lot of sizes and beautiful designs. Make sure you choose a sweater that is of good quality, easy to wear and take off, fits perfectly, and feels comfortable on your dog. Some examples are sweaters with hoodies and poncho style sweaters.
Winter Coats
In addition to winter coats keeping your pet warm, they show class and style, thereby making your dog stand out. They also come in different sizes and designs. While choosing a winter coat for your dog, make sure it is of good quality, easy to wear and take off, fits perfectly, and comfortable on your dog.
Booties
Dogs have sensitive paws, which increases their chances of getting frostbite. Also, when dogs walk outdoors during winter, snow can get stuck in between their pads, causing discomfort and cuts. You can protect them against injuries and frostbite by putting booties on their paws. Booties come in different colors and pattern, so they not only protects their paws but make them look stylish.
Dog Leggings
Dog leggings are new winter fashion trends for dogs that many people do not know about. They are connected to booties and they protect your dog’s leg from germs and dirt.
Ear Warmer
Ears warmers give your dog the winter look and they keep their ears warm.
Snow Suit
If your dog is light furred or thin skinned, you should get it a snow suit for protection against cold weather condition during winter. A Snow suit is not for thick furred or thick skinned dogs because they have enough body fat and fur to conserve their body heat.
Neck Warmer or “Snoods”
Neck warmers also called “snoods” help you ensure your dog’s neck is not left out when you wear winter clothing on other parts of its body. However, you should make sure you chose a neck warmer that is not too tight but fits well on your dog’s neck.

Winter is here! This winter make sure your little furry friend is all prepared for the cold weather.
Different dogs have different needs but these tips will keep any dog safe this winter.
1. A Coat
Unless your dog has a natural coat, you should always have a coat for your dog. Find a coat that keeps them warm. If you’re looking for a chic coat, you can get it from Sassy Dog Fashions 🙂
2. Keep Ears Dry
It does not need ear muffs like you do for yourself, your dog plays in the snow, make sure to dry their ears to avoid any ear infections later on.
3. Thicker Bed For Sleeping
Just like their owners, a dog needs a warmer place to rest and sleep after being exposed to snow. Make sure you have added extra layers of blankets or slightly fluff the mattress so that they can burrow into a soft & cozy bed.
4. Paw Care
If your dog refuses to wear booties, make sure you clean & dry his paws when he is back home. Hair gets wet & freezes when he is outdoors. Cut the hair short, but not TOO SHORT.
5. Hydrate Your Dog
If your dog is wearing extra layers in the winter, then they need to drink extra water obviously. If not, drinking water is still important for your dog’s ability to regulate its own body temperature. Make sure to use plastic bowls outdoors as metal bowls freeze & harm the dog’s tongue.
6. Keep Them Leashed
Pets gets lost in the winter than any other season because snowfall can disguise recognizable scents which helps them find their way home. Prevent your pets from getting lost by keeping dogs leashed on walks.
Buy this high quality embroidered Trump 2020 Dog Collar & leash set.
7. Limit The Time Spent Outdoors
Your dog might get busy playing in snow, making snow angels. So it’s upon you to decide when to call them inside & warm them up. This will prevent hypothermia.
Get this Personalized, Unique Dog Breed Towels,ideal for drying up your dog.
8. Avoid Salts & De-icers
If you live in a city where snowfall is frequent, then it’s important to be aware of where salt and deicers have been used since it’s everywhere when taking your pet for a winter time walk. While salt can cause dryness in their paws, it’s also toxic if ingested. Don’t forget, you can use paw protector wax or little booties can help protect their paws!
9. A Hot-spot
For the dogs, who love spending time outdoors, they should surely have a warm refuge. Insulate their dog house, so they can rest.
10. Brush Your Dog Hair
Keep a habit of brushing your dog’s hair regularly, especially in winter. Brushing out old fur will allow a fuller coat to grow. Old fur does not warm the dog’s body & it takes longer time to dry.
11. Be Prepared
Winter’s extreme weather that can cause power outages. Have a backup plan and make sure they include your pets as well! Have an emergency kit with enough food, water, and medication that lasts at least five days. Most of the dogs you own will never need it, but if they do, you will be thankful you planned ahead!
