About This Site

Small Dog Winter Hub is written for people whose little dogs shiver the minute the temperature drops. We review winter coats, knit sweaters, fleece pajamas, snow boots and paw protectors, and self-warming blankets for small and toy breeds, and we judge every one on fit, warmth, how it holds up in the wash and whether a small dog will actually tolerate wearing it.

Winter Safety for Small Dogs

Clothing helps a small dog stay comfortable in the cold, but it does not make every condition safe. Toy and short-coated breeds lose body heat quickly, and wet clothing loses most of its warmth. Keep winter walks short in freezing, wet or windy weather, and bring your dog inside if it is shivering hard, lifting its paws, moving slowly or seems weak or confused. Those can be early signs of hypothermia or frostbite, and they need a call to your veterinarian.

Check fit every time your dog dresses. A coat or sweater that is too tight can rub the armpits and restrict breathing or movement, and one that is too loose can snag, slip under the legs or trip a dog. Never leave a dog unattended in clothing, pajamas or boots, and remove anything that is chewed, since swallowed fabric, buttons, zippers or strap pieces can cause a blockage. Boots should be snug but not cut off circulation, so check the paws and dew claws for redness after every outing, and give your dog a few short practice sessions indoors before a walk on ice.

Rock salt and de-icers can burn and crack paw pads and are harmful if licked off, so wipe your dog's paws and belly after winter walks. Self-warming blankets work by reflecting the dog's own body heat and use no electricity, but a dog should always be able to move off a blanket or out from under it if it gets too warm. Puppies, senior dogs and dogs with heart, thyroid or other health conditions can handle cold very differently, so ask your vet what is safe for your own dog.
