Fabulous Dog Coats

With the weather getting chillier, it's time to buy the must-have of the season for your furry friend: the dog coat. Sure, part of us just loves to take advantage of any opportunity to dress up our dog, but dog coats can also play an important part in keeping your pooch warm, happy and healthy during the winter months.

When shopping for a dog coat, it's important to remember to check the fit. Loose fitting coats can mean trouble for a dog, as they can snag or get caught on pieces of the surrounding outdoor environments during a walk or play, leading to injury. We scoured the Web for some great places to pick up this year's coat.

True Fit Dog Coats is known for their large selection of Foggy Mountain dog coats. Foggy Mountain offers classic style paired with amazing functionality and fit.

Fido Fleece is another popular brand of dog coats. The coats come in a variety of patterns, feature a unique Velcro closure that makes putting the coat on simple, and have a panel to ensure a well-covered underbelly for your dog.

K9 Top Coats may be an option for you if you live in a particularly cold region and have a dog that will be spending plenty of time outdoors this winter. The company even offers full bodysuits to keep dogs warm and toasty.

Trixie and Peanut has a wide selection of fashion-forward dog coats, for those of you who think that functionality just isn't fun enough. Several selections will still offer your pup the warmth they need, but will keep heads turning.
