Dog Coats

When the mercury starts to drop in Canada, it’s time to start shopping for the perfect dog apparel from the vast selection of dog coats on Homes Alive Pets. We have a full line of dog winter coats, dog jackets, dog raincoats and much more.

If you are seeking a classic fleece dog coat then take a look at the Ruffwear Climate Changer. This short-sleeved dog jacket is great for cool fall walks and windy climates. Use it as a stand-alone jacket or as an underlayer for colder weather.

When shopping for a dog coat, be sure to also invest in a rain dog coat because many areas receive ample amounts of seasonal rain. The Hurtta Rain Blocker Eco is waterproof and warm, made from breathable fabric.

For a lighter-weight dog raincoat, the Silver Paw Kinney Raincoat will effectively keep your pup dry on a rainy day. It’s made from a water-resistant TPU that features an antimicrobial agent to combat any mildew, odour, or mould caused by any water accumulation on the fabric. There is also a removable hood to keep Fido’s head and ears dry.

For a tough winter dog coat check out the Hurtta Extreme Overall which covers the dog's large muscle groups, chest, legs and abdominal area to ensure warmth by stimulating blood flow and reflecting the dog’s own heat.

A practical and warm dog coat doesn’t have to be boring. The Canada Pooch Prism Puffer Vest features a nylon water-resistant shell in a fashionable design. It has sleeves, belly coverage, and a full chest to keep your pup warm, dry, and looking fabulous.

Dog Coat FAQs

How do I measure my dog for a coat? When it comes to sizing your dog's coat, remember that girth is more important than length. A snug but comfortable fit will be more insulating than a looser-fitting dog coat. Get more tips for finding the perfect fit for your dog's adventure gear in How to Measure Your Dog.

Do Dogs Need Winter Coats? Most dogs need a winter coat. Dogs with a thick double coat, like Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes, love the cold weather, but others need an extra layer or two to keep warm on a cold winter walk. A winter dog jacket will insulate your dog's core muscles to help them maintain a safe body temperature.

Can I wash my dog's coat? Spot cleaning is recommended whenever possible, but dogs love to get messy, and sometimes spot cleaning just isn't enough. Most dog coats can either be washed by hand or on a gentle cycle in cold water. Laying the coat flat to dry is the best method to prevent damage and stretching.
