Pet Jackets –
Winter-Ready. Walk-Proof. Completely Stylish.

Things Square offers pet jackets across multiple styles — heavily insulated winter dog coats, lightweight quilted jackets, high-visibility reflective safety coats, waterproof shell jackets with fleece lining, harness-compatible jackets with built-in D-ring access holes, active sport hiking jackets, puppy winter jackets, and easy-on senior dog coats. Jackets are available from XS to XXL for dogs of all sizes and breeds.

Not all dogs — but many genuinely benefit from one. Dogs that need a jacket for winter walks include all small and toy breeds, all short-haired breeds (Greyhounds, Whippets, Boxers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Weimaraners), puppies under 12 months, senior dogs over 8 years, lean-bodied breeds with low body fat, and any dog that shows reluctance to walk, shivers, or hunches their body in cold weather. Double-coated breeds like Huskies, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers generally do not need jackets as they have evolved thermal insulation for cold conditions.

A correctly fitting jacket allows two fingers between every panel and strap and the dog's body. The jacket should cover from the base of the neck to the base of the tail on the back. Front leg movement should be completely unrestricted — watch the dog walk and trot to confirm. No part of the jacket should contact or rub the armpits. The belly should be covered without the jacket riding up or the belly opening pulling uncomfortably. The dog should be able to squat for toileting without the jacket restricting or soiling.

Yes — choose a jacket with a built-in harness access hole on the back. This small opening positioned over where the harness D-ring sits allows the leash clip to attach directly to the harness through the jacket without needing to remove the jacket or thread it awkwardly. If your jacket doesn't have this feature, wear the harness over the jacket — this keeps the jacket in place but the harness will sit less securely than it would directly on the dog's body. Never attach the leash to the jacket itself — the jacket is not load-bearing.

Check the care label before washing — most dog jackets can be machine-washed on a gentle cold or warm cycle. Close all velcro closures before washing to prevent velcro catching on other items. Use a mild, pet-safe detergent without optical brighteners that can irritate pet skin. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry — high heat can damage waterproof coatings and insulation fill. Re-activate waterproof DWR coating after washing by tumble-drying on low for 20 minutes or ironing on low heat through a cloth. Wash after every 3–5 muddy or wet uses to maintain hygiene and jacket performance.
