Best Parka for Dogs

Runs small!
I have a 50lb standard poodle with: 9” neck 26” chest 21” body According to measurements the XL would have been perfect. Based on other reviews, I sized up to XXL - so thankful I did, it is a perfect, but snug fit. The jacket is super cute, quality materials, and very soft inside.
-
Perfect for a pug
I bought this coat for my 15 pound pug. It fits him perfectly and provides full coverage and warmth to the entire length of his body, as well as his chest and belly. He is still not fond of the hood so it's nice that it's completely detachable with just a few buttons. I'm happy with my purchase. My baby is warm, and looks so cute in it.
-
Good jacket
Easy to put on, and i see my dog is warm. He can't seem to see where he's going with the hood on though. It appears a little big for him
Best Fleece Dog Jacket

Love this coat!
This coat is so cute and has been keeping my dog cozy during New England winter. It fits true to size and is good quality. He’s been getting a lot of compliments at dog daycare!
-
Cute style
Seems to be good quality, thick and warm. It’s so cute and has a human-like style, I laughed when I put it on her.
-
Fits perfectly!
My dog wears this all the time. The Velcro on the bottom makes it so easy to get on and off! @therealkongfrenchie
Best Dog Coat for Large Dogs
-
Perfect Size and Very Adorable!
This medium fits our 50 lb Springer Spaniel perfect. It fits him well when he has his hair cut short and once it grows out for winter. It even has pockets for easy treat and little baggie storage.
-
Quality made lined coat
The coat is really well made with two pockets on either side. The lining isn't super heavy so we also have a fleece coat for our dogs on really cold days. Its really easy to get the dogs in and out of as well. We have a 60lb lab and got him a large. It fits him nicely. Our other dogs is a 45 lb short king. We got him a medium and it fits him pretty good. He's pretty barrell chested so it just fits around his torso.
-
Warm enough for fall. Good quality material
Cute and warm enough for fall. My Yorkie Yoda loves when I put it on her. Strong Velcro and easy to use. We got small.
Best Dog Coat for Small Dogs
-
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 :)
-
Super soft & fits right
I got a size small for my 10 pound maltese and it fits her perfectly. It feels soft & super insulated.
-
Awesome suit!!
I got this cause it’s starting to drop in temp. I was worried about the sizing for my dog cause his measurements are 21 in neck, 31 in chest and 22 in in length but it fit him very very well and he looks so snazzy I’m it!!!
Best Dog Snow Coat
-
Perfect fit!
This is the best quality dog jacket i’ve ever seen! It has such a great fit like it was made for my dog! The only issue for me is the hole for the harness is too low, i may have to cut it and make my own harness opening. But i highly recommend this ! It’s expensive but worth it for an adult dog that won’t grow anymore !
-
Better than described
Received this today for my Presa Canaro. She weighs 110lbs and size 26 fits her perfectly. This coat is amazing and she loves it. Today here with wind chill was about -7 deg and we went for walk around the park. She stayed warm and really did fantastic wearing this for the 1st time
-
High quality suit
Fit our 60+ lb female Doberman perfectly. This quality snowsuit keeps her very warm and will last for many years. Worth the money.
Best Dog Peacoat
-
Love it!
My boy loves his new coat! I wasn't sure which size to buy because his measurements fit the size XL, and his weight range fit the XXXL, but looking at the picture reviews thankfully helped my decision because there was a dog his size and weight and they got XXL so I decided to try that and it fits him perfectly!
-
Awesome Fleece
I absolutely LOVE this jacket that I bought for my Big Boy Cat! It is very well made and feels extremely comfortable and soft and warm to the touch! And the amazing this is it is very Stylish for my Big Boy! Now how do I get him to wear it!?
-
Easy to get on my pets
My dogs don’t like sweaters or jackets so it’s nice to have these. Easy to put on them and they keep them warm.
Best Reversible Dog Coat
-
easy on jacket
I absolutely loved these jackets, when I got the first one. I received the Large one 1st. I just barely was able to fit it around the intended dog. But I was able to put it on my other dog and it fit him perfectly. But knowing this, I now have this medium sized jacket on the way, I know won't fit either dog. I don't know what to do with it, hopefully chewy will allow an exchange, because I need to get a larger jacket for my big dog. But I Love, and so do my fur babies, the easy and fast Velcro straps for dressing them quickly when they need to go out RIGHT NOW! lol. Please make sure you take a minute to measure your dog first, to...

Just what I needed
My dog has a medium coat of fur so she doesn't need a heavy jacket but I did want something that would keep the rain and snow off but not as flimsy as most raincoats. This jacket fits the bill--and my dog!
-
Warm Doggies
It fits and keeps them warm. And I know it works because they let me put it on with no hassles

Gracie’s New Coat
I order this in an XXL for my 60lb Golden Girl! This is the Best! Shes not even bothered by it. It’s soft and great quality. May I add the price is AMAZING! CHEWY representatives are also very knowledgeable and helpful with sizing! Thank you!
-
Perfect!
The XXL fits my 75 LB Bully perfect. The quality is way better than I expected too! Perfect for my girl who hates going out to potty when it's cold
-
Moose looks quite dapper in this lightweight jacket!
I purchased this one and a gray fleece jacket for Moose for Christmas. This one is lighter weight and he likes wearing it.
Best Corduroy Dog Coat
-
Nice and Warm
It’s 9mph winds and a high of 50 today and my fur baby is nice and warm eyeing squirrels and birds from our yard!
-
Winter coat
It was super cute. I live the corduroy texture and the fur around the hood is what got me. CLOVIS absolutely loves when he gets a Chewy package. He loves his new witner coat.
-
quality....
good quality, will keep my baby warm this winter....but a little too big..i might get a smaller one.....
Best Snood-Style Dog Coat
-
The snood
I really wasn’t sure if my 60 lbs of bad decisions dog would let me put the coat on, let alone wear it for more than 5 minutes. But he loves it. The snood comes up to his ears and keeps him warm.
-
Such a Winner!
Someone did their thinking when creating this dog sweater that is different than the rest of those that don't really work so well. My dog is a French Bullie. My dog's needs are 1) something that fits in the right places without binding her legs (which hurts her) 2) something that keeps her warm where the heat escapes, as in the soft adjustable shawl-like collar. THAT right there is such a winner! It's washable and we both love this sweater!
-
Too cute!
My dog hates things on his head, but didn’t seem to mind this. The fit is as described. I have a 17lb morkie who is quite long and the medium was on point.
Best Dog Raincoat
-
Good quality
Bailey will wear it! However, it was larger than I thought it would be after reading people's reviews. Bailey's a big 95 pound golden, and as you can see, everything's covered!
-
This is cut just a little different it works great
when this is on the dog the hood is in a good position, he can still see and the cape styling for the front works great too.
-
Sooo cute
This lil slicker is adorable and fits perfectly. My pup has a medium fluffy double coat that takes forever to dry. Living in PNW means rain more than half the year making putting a challenge. This is a perfect solution
Best Waterproof Dog Coat

Hurtta is the best dog coat for cold winter climates!
Hurtta Expedition dog coat in a tiny size for our newest little rescue puppy is excellent! Our Lab mix has been wearing her Hurtta Expedition coat for 4 years hiking Maine trails and the ocean beaches and it keeps her well covered and protected in all kinds of winter weather and has held up for hundreds of miles!
-
Great Quality!
Our girl is a 65lb Pit-Dane Mix so she’s taller than a normal pit and lean . We ordered a size 22” and it fits her perfect.
-
Hands down the best dog coat out there
We've had a heck of a time finding a coat that fits our 17 lb long-bodied scruff mix with no undercoat (who freezes in Colorado winters). She has a small chest/circumference but a long back so either her back end is exposed or coats hang too low in the front. This Hurtta parka is PERFECT. The design and materials are top-notch. The incremental sizing was just what our girl needed. And kudos, as always, to Chewy's phenomenal customer support. Despite our best efforts measuring, we ended up going down a size our original order. Very impressed with Hurtta and looking at other products to add to the mix.
Best Puffer Coat for Dogs

This is so adorable!
This arrived so quickly and guess what? It started raining today but Ms. Lexi is staying dry and warm! She doesn't mind this one either!
-
Fit perfectly
It was starting to rain and this came just in time. Maggie knew she had a new coat and looks so cute. We’ve had lots of compliments and of course told them chewy is where you can find it.
-
Good quality.
The Velcro around the collar is great. I have another coat similar in style & they only have a small piece of Velcro at the collar & it’s always coming undone while we’re walking. This one is so great. Fits her great. The collar stays on! She’s warm. It doesn’t go over her head, so she’s happy about that!
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.
