Outdoor Dog Coat
Your canine companion has to go out no matter how cold it is, but he shouldn't have to freeze when outdoors, so a quality dog coat with a thick lining and a waterproof outer layer is a must-have for winter walks.
Dog Blanket
Who doesn't like to wrap up in blankets on frosty days? Dogs are certainly no exception.
Dog Sweater
Dogs look adorable in sweaters, and they're one of the warmest garments out there, often with better coverage than standard dog coats, and with no uncomfortable straps or buckles.
Dog Booties
No matter how hardy your dog is, their paws should be protected from snow, ice, salt, and ice melt chemicals. Icy particles and snow can collect between their toes, and most road salts and deicers are toxic to dogs.
Covered Dog Bed
A covered dog bed is sort of like having a bed with a built in blanket, but your dog can't throw it off in the middle of the night.
Soft Crate
Your dog may feel warmer sleeping in a soft crate with blankets and cushions than on a regular bed. A soft crate, while still breathable, is slightly more insulated than a wire crate and therefore warmer inside.
Dog Pajamas
If your companion gets cold during the night, a pair of dog pajamas might help with a more comfortable sleep and contribute to sweet dreams.
Dog Heating Pad
Dog heating pads can bring some extra warmth to their favorite snuggling spot. Some are electrical powered while others work by by capturing a dog's body heat and radiating back the warmth.
Interactive Dog Toy
Sometimes the cold weather can prevent your dog from getting as much exercise as usual, so you might want to buy an interactive dog toy to provide mental stimulation.
Dog Hoodie
You may prefer a dog hoodie over a standard sweater to keep your dog toasty. Sure, they do just about the same job, but dog hoodies add an extra adorable twist.
Heated Dog Bed
A heated dog bed may be a great option if your dog is chilly. Typically headed up by and electrical coil, make sure you get one with an automatic shutoff for safety purposes and the perfect amount of warmth.
Indoor Dog House
An indoor dog house provides an extra layer of insulation for your dog at night, and makes a great winter den to burrow into.
All-Weather Pet Door
It's fairly common for dog owners to use pet doors to let their dogs go in and out of the yard at will, but you can lose a lot of heat through a pet door. All-weather models are well-insulated and have other features to keep drafts at bay.
Memory Foam Dog Bed
Memory foam is known for "sleeping hot," which means it can feel too warm to sleep on comfortably in hot weather, but this is a bonus when it's cold. It’s also good for old joints.
High-Visibility Harness
The winter months are not only colder but darker, too, so a high-visibility dog harness can help your dog be visible on early morning or nighttime walks.
