It's cold outside and we need to make sure our doggies are nice and warm! July is the coldest month on average and things are not warming up just yet, so we still need to keep our fur babies comfy.

Pet  Circle  Head Vet Dr Teagan Lever's has shared some tips to ensure your dog is comfortable and dressed appropriately for the weather!

Dr Teagan Lever's tips:

When buying a coat, consider your dog’s  activity level and their age. For example, active dogs will need thinner layers to ensure they don’t overheat, whereas older and less active dogs may need clothing that is thick and warmer.

Fit is important so make sure  jumper styles  fit easily over the head and that the coat is not too big so that there is enough room to allow your dog to go to the toilet. When buying clothing for your pet  online, it's essential to measure them to get the best fit.

If you have a puppy or your dog is in between sizes, consider buying a coat with adjustable or  velcro straps  as they allow you to custom fit the coat to your dog.

If your dog gets cold at night, consider  dog PJs  instead of coats as they are made to be more comfortable for your dog to sleep in.

If you have an active dog that loves to go for walks or if your dog is outside in your backyard a lot, consider buying a durable, washable and waterproof fabric that will withstand dirt and rain, like a  raincoat .

If your dog has never worn a coat, jumper or PJs before, put it on for short periods of time when you are home and give them treats and praise once it’s on so they get used to the process of putting it on and wearing it.
