Winter-Friendly Pet Fashion: Sweatshirt, Jackets, & Sweaters to Keep Your Pet Stylish

Understanding the Importance of Winter Fashion for Pets

As winter approaches, the crisp air and chilly winds call for cozy sweaters, hot drinks, and layers of warmth—not just for humans but for our beloved pets too! Dogs and cats feel the cold just like we do, especially short-haired breeds or smaller animals with low body fat. Providing them with appropriate winter clothing ensures their health, comfort, and a touch of style.

At Zigly, we understand the unique needs of your furry companions. That’s why we’ve curated a fabulous collection of winter wear, including dog winter coats, sweaters, and jackets, to keep your pets warm and trendy. Read on for a complete guide to keeping your pets comfortable and stylish during the colder months.

Have you noticed your dogs shivering lately? If yes, then you are at the right place at the right time to understand how to keep your dogs warm in winter. It is essential to keep your pets warm in winter, to prevent them from falling sick and to ensure their health and comfort. 

In today's times, stylish dog clothes, dog sweaters, and winter dog clothes are readily available at Zigly pet stores. All shapes, sizes, and breeds are included, from XS to 5XL, from miniatures and toy breeds such as

Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Toy Poodles to Indies, medium-sized breeds such as Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, and Large Breeds such as Labradors, German Shepherds, Huskies, and large Indie dogs. 

Why Pets Need Winter Clothing

Dogs rarely have a thick layer of fat beneath their skin to protect them from extreme temperatures, which is why they need additional protection in the form of winter wear to keep them warm. 

There are several breeds that have a short coat and low body fat percentage, especially small/toy breeds and elderly dogs- they are delicate and need extra care. Dog sweaters and Dog coats are tailored to fit the needs of your dog, in terms of warmth, coverage, size, fit, functionality, and material. If you live in a cold region like Delhi or other Northern states, then dog winter clothing is an absolute must! 

Fashion Meets Functionality

Warm winter clothes can provide more than just comfort- they also add to your pets’ style quotient! Stylish dog coats and dog sweaters can double as fashion accessories while regulating and controlling your fur-babies’ body temperature, and can protect them from external elements such as rain and cold winds, which if not controlled can lead to hypothermia in dogs! 

Winter wear will keep your pet insulated from moisture, cold flooring, harsh winds, and cold weather conditions. All this while maintaining elegance and staying up-to-date with the latest fashion trends. For a fun winter outing, you can match your dog’s outfit to yours- a neon wind-cheater, a polo-neck sweater, a classic cardigan, an overcoat, or a stylish hoodie. Beat the winter blues while stepping out in style in the cold months by dressing your dog in snug winter clothing.

Types of Winter Clothing for Pets

When it comes to keeping your pooch warm, there are several clothing options available in the market. There are fleece hoodies, woolen sweaters, jackets, coats, polo-neck sweaters, socks, shoes, and now even caps and earmuffs.

I. Cozy Pet Sweaters

Woolen sweaters and hoodies create a layer of insulation over your dog’s body, especially on the tender areas where hair growth is almost zero, such as the belly, underarms, hind legs, and the entire trunk of the dog. While indoors, these warm dog coats and dog sweaters protect your pet from cold surfaces, floors, and wet elements. 

While outdoors, the windcheaters and woolly high-neck sweaters will create a much-needed layer of protection against cold draughts and chilly morning and evening walks by adding a valuable thermal layer that retains body temperature. 

II. Insulated Pet Jackets

Zigly Lifestyle insulated dog jackets are made from 100% Ns Butter Polyester fabric that ensures better durability. Jackets have built-in waterproof coating making it even more useful as they keep your dog dry in wet and cold weather. Our jackets are windproof, due to extra padding and a high neck, which helps protect the neck from the wind and the cold. It also has a velcro in front to close the jacket with ease.

Considering Your Pet's Breed and Size

Not all dogs have the same winter clothing needs. One must consider their pet’s breed, size, and age while shopping for pet winter coats. Certain breeds have very low body fat percentage, i.e. the layer of fat beneath their skin which maintains their body temperature is much lower than that of other breeds. For example, a Beagle needs more effective sweaters and coats as compared to a Husky! Short-coat dogs, small breeds, puppies, and senior dogs need extra attention to winter clothing. If you have a Doberman, Chihuahua, Shih-Tzu, Miniature Pinscher, Dachshund, Beagle, Labrador, Short-coat Indie/mixed breed, a puppy or senior dog of any breed, you must provide adequate winter clothing to keep them warm and healthy.

FAQs About Winter Pet Fashion

1. How do I know if my pet needs winter clothing?

To determine winter clothing requirements breed-wise, we must consider the breed size and type. Chihuahuas, Beagles, Greyhounds, Whippets, Miniature Pinschers, Shih-Tzus, Indie Short Coat, Toy Poodles, Pugs, Boxers, Labradors, etc are some breeds that have either extremely short coats or are small in size. They need an additional layer of insulation to protect them against the cold. 

When it comes to age, small puppies as well as senior dogs are delicate and can catch cold-weather illnesses more easily, as their immunity is lower. If your dog is very young or quite old, you must ensure that they stay warm with the help of dog coats, dog sweaters, and winter dog clothing.

2. What materials are best for pet clothing?

Waterproof fabrics keep moisture and cold elements at bay, provided that the fabrics are pet-friendly and allergen-free. Warm sweatshirts made from fleece with a fuzzy interior lining help in keeping pets cozy. You can also opt for high-neck sweaters made of mixed wool or yarn to ensure thick protection from cold.

3. Can my pet wear clothing indoors?

Of course, in harsh weather or cold months, we all need protection from catching the chills while indoors as well. Additionally, external elements like cold floors, walls, moisture, and strong gusts of winter air can affect your pet while staying indoors as well. Unless your indoor environment is centrally heated.

4. How do I clean and maintain pet winter clothing?

Please refer to the label present inside the clothing. At Zigly, we provide tips on washing, drying, and storing pet winter clothes to ensure longevity and cleanliness.

Maintaining your pet’s winter wardrobe should not be much of a challenge. Most of Zigly Lifestyle’s winter collection is created with durable, wear-resistant, and long-lasting material, provided that it is cleaned and washed in a moderate to mild manner. You can simply use room temperature, or cold water on a medium wash speed. Use a normal to mild detergent to wash the item, but ensure that the detergent is non-toxic, pet-safe, and bleach-free.

Using the wrong detergent can lead to reactions on your pet’s skin and bleach weakens the fiber of the material, making it prone to tearing. You can handwash the item as well, and tumble-dry it or air-dry it, depending on ease of access. To remove fur and debris from the product, you can use a lint roller or fur-removing brush.
