Best Parka for Dogs

comfort
I bought two of these items during the chilly weather here in Corpus Christi, and my fur babies were nice and warm when I dressed them for going outside. Thank you.

Fits perfectly, and not too difficult to put on.
My dog weighs 11 pounds and her chest size is 16. I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly. She doesn't like to wear clothes, scarves, etc., so I need something that doesn't require a lot of fussing with, or she'll be trying to run away making the task even more difficult. with the Velcro closure it's pretty easy to get it closed, but it's sometimes crooked when all is said and done. But I'm not putting it on her for a fashion show, just to keep her warm and dry in cold snowy or rainy weather, so as long as it's secured and will stay on her I'm happy. This fits the bill and it still looks cute on her.

Great quality!
I love this sweaters nice material, amazing price point too really happy I bought this now I’m just waiting for the pick to come back into stock to buy them for my two girls! Love the detachable hood option as well!
Best Fleece Dog Jacket
-
Adorable & cozy fleece hoody!
I bought coordinating versions of this fleece hoody for my MorkiePoo & CavaPoo. They’re each around 13-14 pounds. Perfect fit. Adorable & easy to get on and off.
-
She looks so cute
Light enough to wear on those more chilly days (25 F and under) without overheating in the car. Haven't had her wear it when it's warmer than that, but my review is on a German Shepard Mix - she's usually okay until it drops below 15 F.

Happy Christmas!
It’s for my 14 yr old Jack Russell Terrier. He’ll be a happy boy on Christmas morning. Which is his favorite holiday!
Best Dog Coat for Large Dogs
-
Indestructible
I have two puppers, ages 11 and 1.4 yrs old. The younger one likes to play "tug" with the older one when they wear their coats outside. Previously, I had the down-filled ones, and needless to say, they do not hold up to "ruffhousing"!
-
Quality and durability.
It took a little bit of trickery to get Tizzy near her coat. But with a few treats poking out of the pocket. She decided it wasn’t going to eat her.
-
Good Quality
Cute, durable, and easy to put on and take off. Seems to keep my dog warm. The pockets are a nice touch and carry her poop bags! She’s gotten lots of compliments.
Best Dog Coat for Small Dogs
-
very warm
This winter coat is absolutely wonderful. My dog gets very cold and this coat is great for the cold weather. Keeps him warm and cozy, absolutely thrilled with this purchase. Thank you CHewy
-
Insulated Jacket
The exterior of the jacket is polyester and snow and rain will not penetrate as quickly as other fabrics. It is a great fit and comfortable for my short-haired dog.
-
So warm!!
The suit is amazing. I had to size up as the small was too tight on my 12lb Shorkie because she is on the longer side. Medium size was perfect for her. Well made, looks fancy :)
Best Dog Snow Coat
-
Wonderful
Not enough good words can be said about this coat. Easy to put on my buddy and does great job of keeping him warm. We both are very pleased.
-
For Frigid Temps
Kept my tiny dog warm, but it is a bit hard to get on and sizing between 10S and 12S is too large. Had to cinch the 12 in every way possible to get it to stay on and the 10 was too small.
-
Best snowsuit EVER!!
OMGOSH! What is there not to say about this amazing coverall. The design and construction is top notch. Miss. Emily is comfortable, warm and doesn’t walk like she is in a straight jacket! Ease of use is spot on and coverage is perfect and where it needs to be. Thank you Hurtta!
Best Dog Peacoat
-
greatest coat ever!
This coat looks great on my dog and is perfect for the cold days. He now wears it most of the winter. It's well made too. highly recommended.
-
A full warm coat for a large dog!!!!
First, we are shocked to find a soft, thick, long, easy on/off coat for a large Aussie 70#. He is large, muscular and hairy. Not fat. It is extremely difficult to find coats of various weights for him. Where we live, sometimes different coats are needed. And we walk with a reflective vest, which was hard to find. So bravo to this manufacturer!!!!
-
Excellent quality sweater for awesome price!
I’m shocked at the quality of this sweater for such a low price. My Pitt rescue loves it too. It keeps him warm in the frigid temps!
Best Reversible Dog Coat
-
holds with the Velcro that is there, but the style easy to put on him
No Amazing is the Velcro is not great for an active dog like mine, Charlie is a go getter tall poodle mix. On the go all the time! comes off too easy
-
Well fitting, light weight coat
This fits my small long bodied dog well. It's easy to put on or take off and works for chilly or slightly wet weather.
-
Very practical
Fits my pittie perfectly! Has ample velcro to adjust fit. Covers him all the way to his tail keeping him warm and dry when out doing his business. Washes well and is well made. Highly recommend
Best Faux Fur Coat for Dogs
-
Adorable and perfect fit
I finally found a coat to fit as expected. Good quality made and so cute on in this cold weather. She seems to actually like it.
-
Beautiful coat!
It barely fits my dog in XXL but there wasn't a bigger size,but it fits well enough. This is a really nice coat in blk/white plaid with black velvet like trim. I love it!Very classic design!
-
How handsome he looks in this well-made jacket!
When it's cold outside, I hear others say "Ah, he is so cute in that little plaid jacket"! My dog gets a warm coat & I get kudos from on-lookers. I hear lots of positive remarks when he wears this. With Velcro straps, it is one of the easier jackets to put on a dog. Unfortunately, my preference was for the cute red version & it was out of stock 2 months ago, so I couldn't order it. That was disappointing. While it's fine for Virginia weather, I don't think it would be is suitable for very cold weather that many other states get.
Best Corduroy Dog Coat
-
The Best made Dog Coat that I have ever purchased
This coat is amazing. All parts are well constructed, practical and nicely designed. I have purchased several coats that were a lot more expensive and they can not compare to the quality and style of this corduroy insulated coat. Also, the size chart is very accurate. In this very cold winter weather, this coat has been a wonderful choice for my dog.
-
Recommend!
Maya is a Chihuahua and Miniature Pincher mix, she weighs in at 12 pounds and normally wears a small. But reading reviews I noticed it ran a bit small, and yes that is correct. I bought her a medium and it fits perfectly, a small would have been wayy too tiny. It’s a touch longer in the back but that’s not a problem. If your pup doesn’t mind Velcro, I definitely recommend. Just make sure you size up!
-
ADORABLE
This fits my Peke well. She actually tolerates the hood! Lol I love it! The M covers her nicely and keeps her warm in our cold winters!
Best Snood-Style Dog Coat
-
Keeps those ears warm and dry. Snood hood covers ears or can be folded down.
Easy to put on and only one padded velcro under the belly. Warm, well made, and looks super cute. So glad Chewy offered this great coat.
-
Warm and easy on and off
Moka is a skinny dog that always gets cold. This coat is perfect for her. Not only it is warm, but also easily put on and off with only one Velcro. Her neck is long, so the hoodie doesn’t cover her ears. I wish it could, but no complaints. I am looking to see if any bigger size for her brother, Latte.
-
Cozy & durable, and still super soft!!
We have three of these now, and I love them so much. Made well, good quality, stays soft after every wash and doesn’t fall apart, and so easy to put on! The only oddity was the length of the Velcro straps for our eldest dog, but that’s more to do with the fact that he is thin and tall, long enough and tall enough to need a bigger size than he ought to weight wise is what I mean. Not a big deal, I just had to snip and sew the Velcro to be shorter so he won’t pee on it during potty breaks, but no complaints. Keeps him warm, not fussing over leg holes, and he is able to remove it himself if he gets too warm which I truly appreciate. It is...
Best Dog Raincoat
-
Fits great, durable fabric
This is not flimsy material! I had a very hard time trying to figure out which size to get for my dog even from reading reviews so I’m showing a picture here of our dog who is about 50 pounds and from neck to tail 25 1/2 inches. This fits her perfectly! It is a little bit roomy around the belly, but the Velcro fastens securely. She doesn’t seem to wanna move in it very much so we will have to condition her to it once it gets to be rainy weather! Ordered X-LARGE
-
Great for larger doggos
This is so easy to put on our boy as the velcro adjusts under his belly and neck area. Great design and he loves it
-
Great Rain Protection
This coat works great to protect my lab from a downpour. It is very waterproof and the price was great. It is not an insulated jacket. It really is just rain protection. For the price it really is good deal.
Best Waterproof Dog Coat
-
Fits my long dog
I have a ~30lb dachshund mix and its difficult to find a coat that goes all the way down her back but the 18xs was the perfect size. It's also very easy to put on and doesn't inhibit her movement. I don't use the leg straps but it stays in place pretty well without them.
-
Great Warm Coat
We have tried various extra warm dog coats and this is the best one by far. We use it when it’s under 40 degrees out. It is easy to put on. I love how the back comes down on each side to cover the upper legs. It keeps his neck warm too. The harness goes under and it’s easy to pull the lead through the hole. It feels and looks like a high quality coat. Our male Havanese is 18lb and wearing size 35/14.
-
Keeps my pitbull warm!
I ordered a size medium for my pitbull. His measurements are 21in back, 20in neck and 30in chest. It’s easy to put on (don’t have to put his legs through leg holes) and keeps him warm! The back of the coat near his back legs seems a tad too big, not a big deal, overall a great fit and purchase.
Best Puffer Coat for Dogs
-
Love them!
I have 3 of these for my 2 dogs (in red color). They really like them in the cold weather! They sleep in them too as we like our house cooler at nite than most people. Well made as well!
-
Easy to put on
Easy to put on my 8 lb. Chi. She is warm on cold walks, and great waterproof for when it's lightly raining and misting. Easy to wash too. Stylish of course !
-
Perfect!
This coat gets so MANY compliments! It fits beautifully, is simple to put on & has worn so well. It still looks like new!
Dog Coat FAQs
What are the benefits of putting a coat on a dog?
Dog coats aren’t just a fashion statement for Fido. They help keep your pet warm, cozy and safe during cold days in the fall and winter. The extra layer helps maintain their body temperature and can also provide protection from the wind, snow and rain.
Do dogs need to wear coats?
Not every dog needs to wear winter coats, especially if they already have a nice layer of fur to protect them. However, some small dog breeds, short-haired dogs, older dogs, and dogs with low body fat may benefit from an extra layer, notes Dr. Carol Osborne, DVM, a veterinarian at Chagrin Falls Veterinary Center & Pet Clinic in Ohio.
“I tell my patients, ‘If it’s too cold for you to go outside without a jacket, it’s probably too cold for your dog to go without a jacket, too,’” Dr. Osbourne says.
Dog coats can also protect from sleet, snow, and rain, as well as windy days. If your pup has sensitive skin or tends to get cold, a jacket or coat comes in very handy.
How do I pick the right coat for my dog?
The most important factors to keep in mind when shopping for dog coats is fit and comfort. You want to make sure to measure your pup and that the garment has a snug fit but isn’t too tight. Follow these instructions on how to properly measure your dog for clothing. Then refer to the coat manufacturer’s sizing chart.
From there, you can consider other details, such as reflective piping (great for nighttime walking), water-resistant materials for wet weather, or leash holes and/or d-rings for easy leash attachment. Also consider your particular climate since you don’t want a coat that’ll make your dog too warm or not warm enough.
