While your family’s love for your four-legged pup may cause that pile of fur to wag its tail, it can’t provide protection when the same pet is out for a walk. On a rainy or snowy day, an unprotected animal, large or small, can get drenched. Just like people, dogs can develop colds after being exposed to inclement weather.
However, a waterproof dog coat can keep a pet warm and dry, despite the need to walk on water-soaked or snow-covered terrain. That way, it helps reduce the need for a trip to the vet’s office. Of course, some people care as much about style as they do health issues.
When a dog owner tends to focus on style, they should do an online search for an attractive coat. Such a search could yield information on coordinating pieces, such as necklaces, sweaters, or even boots. Such a search can lead to the discovery of items that are reasonably priced, even though they contain a number of fashionable details.
When purchasing a waterproof dog coat, a pet owner should consider how well it will fit. Still, that doesn’t always mean coat size is a primary concern. Some coats are adjustable. In addition, some come with reflective strips that can provide the coat with additional safety features when you must go for a walk after dark. The ideal protective cover should not be bulky. It shouldn’t drag on the ground either.
Because dogs come in such a wide range of sizes, not every pet owner wants to get a full-size cover for their best friend. A down-padded jacket offers an alternative to a waterproof coat for dogs. Extremely light, it uses the dog’s body heat to keep the animal warm, even in very cold climates. Its water-resistant and tear-proof nylon shell has been rib-stitched and provided with a down lining. Its velcro closures facilitate its placement.
An all-weather parka represents a suitable solution for very cold climates. Constructed from supplex nylon, this item won’t burden an animal with a lot of extra weight. Breathable and warm, it features a keyhole strap opening and reflective piping. Hook-and-loop closures help ensure a great fit is achieved, while eliminating the constant struggle when it’s time for a dog’s daily walk.
By including walking in the daily routine, a pet owner helps provide that animal with needed exercise. Well protected, that same “friend” will not suffer the possible consequences of a wet or snowy exercise area.
