Dog clothing in autumn and winter: raincoat, jumper & visibility
When it turns wet, cold, windy or dark, many dog owners look for the same answer: what does my dog really need? A raincoat? A winter coat? A jumper? More visibility? The good news: you do not have to make it complicated. What counts is the weather, the coat type, the body shape and the right size.
A quick decision by weather
Rain, wind, cold and wet
The Glow Raincoat is waterproof, windproof and warmly lined. That makes it a raincoat and a winter coat in one.
Compare the Glow RaincoatDry cold
The Glow Jumper 2.0 warms close to the body, is very stretchy and gives active dogs plenty of freedom of movement.

Neon colours stand out during the day, at dusk, in rain and in snow. At night it is a good idea to add an LED light or reflective Magnetic Glow Tags to the neon.
Understanding visibilityPuppies
Puppies cool down faster but are still growing. Stretchy jumpers and adjustable coats are especially practical here.

Senior dogs often move more slowly and get cold faster. Light, warm clothing can make short winter walks more comfortable.
When an older dog feels the coldDachshunds & small breeds
Short legs, a long back and a deep chest need a particular fit. Mini Fit is developed for dachshunds and small breeds.
Dachshund coat guideRaincoat or winter coat?
Many people ask: does my dog need a raincoat or a winter coat? With the Glow Raincoat the answer is simple. It is both. The outer material has a waterproof laminate and protects against rain, spray and wind. Inside, polar fleece keeps your dog warm, the same kind used in sportswear. So your dog stays dry, warm and able to move.
Why neon does more than reflective material alone
Reflective fabrics only work once light shines on them. Many soft reflective materials give a rather diffuse shimmer, above all in the weaker light of a cyclist. Neon colours are strong contrast colours: they catch the eye faster during the day, on public transport, in the park, in snow, rain or at dusk. At night, neon together with an LED light and reflective Magnetic Glow Tags on clothing, lead or harness works well.
Mini Fit or Regular Fit?
- Mini Fit: for dachshunds and small breeds with short legs, a longer back, a deep chest or a delicate build.
- Regular Fit: for many medium to large dogs and body shapes, including sighthounds such as galgos and whippets, and also poodles, doodles, Dalmatians, ridgebacks, Vizslas and mixed breeds.
- Freedom of movement: both fits can be adjusted individually and sit close enough to the body to keep the warmth where it belongs.

FAQ: dog clothing in autumn and winter
Which dog jacket is warm, weatherproof and easy to move in?
The Glow Raincoat is waterproof, windproof, warmly lined and adjustable at the chest and the waist. That keeps the coat close to the body without blocking movement.
What works better in the dark: neon or reflectors?
Neon stands out clearly during the day and at dusk. Reflectors need light to work. A combination of neon, an LED light and reflective Magnetic Glow Tags is the safer choice.
Which size does my dog need?
Measure the back length from the shoulder blade to the base of the tail, the chest girth at the widest point and the neck girth. If you are unsure, we help in the customer chat with a photo.

Yes. You can upload photos in the customer chat. A photo from the side and one from above are especially helpful.
