Function + Visibility :: Why buy your dog a coat?

Posted on

As the weather changes with seasons some dogs need more protection during walks. A windproof, waterproof layer can help keep dogs warm and protected outdoors the same way we like to be. Choosing the right jacket can be a challenge with all the options - during heavy rains 100% waterproof, breathable fabrics work better than water repellant treatments that do not last with wear and washing. Also, fabrics like PVC do not breathe, have a negative impact on the environment, and actually trap moisture between the jacket and your dog's fur. Durable fabrics with a combination of waterproof shell and warm fleece lining or polycotton combine to maintain your dog's natural temperature while protecting your dog and your home, or car from dirt and water.

Reflective piping also raises the visibility of your dog during winter month walks on grey days & evenings. If environmental and human impact are important to you choose products that are manufactured in North America to ensure social responsibility is in practice. Our competitors claim to live and work in Vancouver BC and Canada but they manufacture in China & Vietnam. Look closely at your label and consider buying local products that will last.
