Coats/Jackets for Dogs

Keep Your Dog Warm on Your Walks in a Dog Jacket

A dog coat acts as an insulator for your dog in cold weather. It also acts as a windcheater by resisting wind chill from hitting your pet. eBay has a range of dog jackets in various colours and materials.

Keep an eye on your pet in extremely cold weather. Your dog's behaviour changes and physical reactions can help you know when they need a dog jacket to stay warm. Your dog may also need a dog coat if they are shivering after being outside for a few minutes.

Yes. During cold weather, some dogs can be hesitant to step outside. It may take encouragement to get your dog outside to take a walk in the snow. A dog coat can provide your dog with warmth and help motivate it to go out even when it's extremely cold. Your dog will cooperate and go out to answer nature’s call or exercise.

There are different types of dog coats available on eBay. They include:

• Cool coats: Heat stroke is dangerous for British bulldogs in particular. They have a problem when it comes to breathing due to their short muzzles. This also means that it's hard for them to cool down during warm weather. Cool coats for bulldogs are designed to keep your pet cool in warm conditions. Although whippets do well in hot weather, cooling coats for whippets can be useful during extremely hot days.
• Dog insect-protection coats: A flea infestations can be annoying and dangerous for your dog. Problems that fleas can cause include skin infections, mild to severe itching, and anaemia. Dog insect-protection coats are designed to protect dogs from ticks, fleas, and other insects they might encounter when outside.
• Dog parkas: During winter months, parkas will keep your pet warm while looking trendy at the same time. If your pet loves snow play, consider buying them dog parkas.

Read the care label before you wash coats for dogs. Most dog jackets can be hand and machine washed. Always check your dog coats for holes or loose seams that might become worse during washing. Mend any tears and rips before washing. Use a washing powder that doesn't have dyes or perfumes as they can cause skin problems and irritations for your dog. Don't forget to air dry your dog's coats until they are completely dry to prevent skin irritation.
