Best Parka for Dogs

Wonderful
I love that the hood is removable and that our dog's whole chest gets covered. So many pet jackets have a narrow strap under the body and that doesn't work well for snow.

Pretty in Pink
Athena,looks so cute! I'm very happy that I bought this jacket for her. Soft and good quality also love that the head cover is detache

Comfortable, attractive
It's warm. Light weight. I'm going to quit writing reviews cause I'm ALWAYS HAPPY WITH FRISCO clothing. They look nice, good fit, good quality for the money. I do however wait for sales.
Best Fleece Dog Jacket

Fits perfectly!
My dog wears this all the time. The Velcro on the bottom makes it so easy to get on and off! @therealkongfrenchie

Perfect and Warm
Lucy is 45lbs mix. Her measurements are neck- 17”, chest 30”, and back length 19”. Ordered an X-Large and it fits great! Also quality is much better than expected- thick and warm with a nice inner lining. Hole for harness or collar leash hook up a plus. This is just super adorable and comfy!

Adorable fleece jacket
I purchased both pink and teal colors for my puppies. They are about 15 lbs and medium size is a bit snug on them, but they are still growing :) Colorblock design is so cute and fleece seems to keep them warm. Zipper pocket is perfect size for airtags. They also look great after washing in a cold cycle and hang air drying.
Best Dog Coat for Large Dogs
-
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.

Quality
I have six large dogs that play pretty rough with each other. These carhartt jackets are the only ones I've found that can withstand their play. They like to drag each other around by the collar. With this coat they can! Extremely durable, as the brand suggests. I bought a couple last year in extra large which fit my 100 lb.Males pretty good. I don't know if they've adjusted the size, but this ram seems slightly bigger. I think the large may have been a better fit but maybe just barely to tight. I ended up getting extra larges for all the dogs, but I should have went with large. Other than that I love them. I got the bright orange because I...

The only dog jacket my dog has ever loved
My dog has a weird body shape. He's lanky, but medium sized. I've tried and failed many times to get him a decent jacket. This one finally works for him. I love how adjustable it is, he seems really comfortable and happy in it. Plus, he looks like a working man going off to his 9-5, which is an added bonus.
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 and very well made
Fits my dog perfectly and looks extremely well made. I think my dog will be very warm and happy in this overall on really cold days this winter!
-
Cool Look, Toasty Warm!
Not only did this snowsuit keep our short haired, single coated pittie VERY warm and dry in cold fishing conditions on the Great Lakes in early November, he also got tons of compliments on how stylish he looked in it! Easy enough to put on and take off of a wiggly pup. The snaps on the legs are a little tough to close sometimes but they stay secured all day! Our dog had plenty of room to curl up and take a cozy nap in it and could go to the bathroom with ease!
-
I'm happy it fit
I have to say it's a real challenge to find coats/clothes for my 90-pound Bully and to find this snowsuit and it FITS. PERFECTLY! I am in LOVE! Biggs is not a huge fan of wearing clothes and getting him in this snowsuit is easy on us both. Although we haven't had the chance to try it out in the weather just yet, I'm sure he will be nice and toasty.
Best Dog Peacoat
-
So handsome
Love being able to stay out later in the cold and I can tell he just feels super handsome in his sharp coat.
-
Perfect
I have a hard time finding clothes that will fit him, but the XXL was perfect. It’s also a pretty good quality of material and stitched very well. Great bargain for the price.
-
Adorable Girl
I love the Jacket and it fits her well. She hasn't had the chance to wear it yet but can't wait to break it in.
Best Reversible Dog Coat
-
Nice quality made
ITs lightweight but has a kind of water repellant material on it so it cuts the cool winds a bit a light rain too. It really looks sharp on my dog. I do love this jacket
-
Quick Service
I ordered this jacket for my dog one night and the next day it was Delivered!!! I will be ordering again!
-
Wonderful product
Volunteers at our local community dining room are taking care of an old outdoor feral cat. The jacket is wonderful for him (his name is Gene)
Best Faux Fur Coat for Dogs

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.

This very well made jacket, size Small, fits my 8 lb kitty purrfectly. It is all made and the faux fur and cloth are very soft.

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.
-

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
-
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.
-
A winner for my boy.
It’s perfect for those whose fur babes won’t wear a sweater/clothing piece with arm holes. My one poodle loves them. But the one in the snood does not. And he was ok with this. I was so happy. It fit him perfect. Just slides over head, caps the shoulders with waisted velco. It’s heavy and feels good! Won’t be wearing it till winter so I don’t know how it washes yet. But it’s stylish. He is about 43lbs still growing a bit more. The XL fit him great cause you can adjust the waist.
-
winter warmth
i ordered this in small for yorkie for the winter keep her warm but its not quiete right for her the price was awesome the materials are awesome but sizewise its to big so maybe i can alter it couse i dont want her to miss out on use of it but its more medium then a small
Best Dog Raincoat
-
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
-
Great
is a very good coach for all dogs just sometimes dogs are picky with what they wear and their size
-
Easy to put on.
My dog would fight me to put her legs through her raincoat so I bought this velcro one and it goes on so much easier and keeps her dry. Even has a hoody! The yellow is easy to see in the inclement weather.
Best Waterproof Dog Coat
-
Easy Install!
This is a coat that provides excellent coverage while permitting movement! 10/10 for no annoying zippers, Velcro, or buttons. I'm skeptical that the leg bands will do much to keep the coat skirt from flopping around, but we'll see! My one-year-old XL Pitbull x Cane Corso is 110-lbs and lean. He seems comfortable in a 28. I'm not sure how much muscle mass he'll add in the next year, but I'm cautiously optimistic that this belt-buckle style means this coat will still fit him next year too. I'll update once we've gotten some wear time. I'm excited for my puppy's first winter!
-
Quality
This jacket is great for cold New England winters. We also had to order 3 different sizes but Chewy was very helpful and prompt in shipping the new order and processing the returns. When we finally got the one that fit our pup, it was just what we needed!
-
Warm and cozy
Comfortable, easy to put on and doesn't cause irritation or distraction. She loves it! And it keeps her nice and dry.
Best Puffer Coat for Dogs
-
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!
-
Matches the one I bought for my other dog.
I was so happy to see this coat. I have one similar that I bought several years ago for my other dog. Now they will match when they go out in cold weather.
-
Pink and black check since she is a girl
She’s a big girl she’s a labra-Dane she is 17 months old and not done growing so this will allow her some room to grow
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.
