The dog coat has been one of the most shared dog clothes for years: some farmers love it, others think it’s unnecessary. The truth is somewhere in between. A good coat is not only a stylish supplement, but a real help for many dogs every day. But when is it really necessary, and how do we choose well?<\/span><\/h5>\n

When does the dog need a coat?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The vets say not all dogs need coats. The thick fur varieties (husky, malamut) are highly adapted to the cold. However, in short-haired, small, elderly or sick dogs, jacket can be a real protection. The shaking, slow movement, or if your dog is reluctant to go out for a walk, they can all indicate that he is cold.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the experience of several experts, even dogs with normal fur can catch cold if they soak in the rain for a long time or wait for a longer period of time. Therefore, the jacket is often not a luxury, but a necessity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most common types of coats<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are many different solutions between dog coats:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \nIndoor winter coats<\/span><\/b> – pollen or wool lining for cold days.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  • \nRain coats<\/span><\/b> – with a waterproof outer layer to keep the fur dry.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  • \nSports jackets<\/span><\/b> – light, airflow material for mobile dogs.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
  • \nOveralls<\/span><\/b> – protect the abdomen and legs, especially in low-sized dogs.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Modern coats often contain reflective strips for evening walks, a harness for easy fixing of the leash, and are made of cleaning material in a washing machine.<\/span><\/p>\n

    How do we choose the right coat?<\/span><\/h3>\n

    The most important thing is Size<\/b>: the coat must not be too tight or too large. Let’s measure the dog’s back, neck, and chest, and then select the guy based on this.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The substance<\/b> It also matters a lot:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • The outer layer should be waterproof, windproof, but air-flow.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • As a gut, the pollen or wool is comfortable and warm.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • The sutures should be strong, preferably glued, so the rain doesn’t leak.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Practical considerations even that coat easy to pick up or take off<\/b> Make sure you don’t make disturbing noises while you’re moving and dry quickly after a rainy walk.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Who did he recommend you to?<\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Small dogs who get cold faster.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Short-haired breeds (e.g. whippet, dalmata, chihuahua).<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Old dogs, especially with joint problems.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Puppy dogs who are even more sensitive to cold.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Types of husky or malamut do not usually need coats, and they are at risk of overheating.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Thoughts<\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • \n“Every dog needs a coat.”<\/span><\/b> It’s not true – the kind and living conditions decide.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n“The thicker the better.”<\/span><\/b> Excessive stratification can be uncomfortable.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n“Once we give up, stay on it.”<\/span><\/b> The coat is outside wearing, at home in a suitable heat setting, the dog feels better without it.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Dog food can be effective protection not only against fashion, but also against cold, wind or rain – the right dog, in the right situation. If you choose well, your favorite is not only stylish but also safe and comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n
