What does my dog need in rain, cold and darkness?

Dog owners rarely search for a product name alone. Usually it is about real everyday situations: which size fits my dog? How do I measure properly? Does my dog feel the cold? Does my dog need a raincoat or a winter coat? What makes sense for puppies, older dogs, rain, snow, darkness or unusual body shapes?

A quick decision: which product fits?

Raincoat or winter coat?

The Glow Raincoat is both: a waterproof, windproof and warmly lined dog coat. It protects in rain and cold weather, because the outer fabric is laminated waterproof and polar fleece warms on the inside.

Older dogs and short winter walks

Neon, LED & reflectors

Why neon works so well in daylight and at dusk, and when LED or reflective clips make sense.

Puppies and first-time owners: what belongs in the starter kit?

Puppy owners search differently, because so much is new: a place to sleep, warmth, walks, the first size, growth, safety and everyday training. Puppies are small, often still have little coat or little undercoat and hold warmth less well. In cold, wind and wet weather, the right dog clothing can help them stay warm.

Which size for a growing puppy?

Do not simply buy far too big. Oversized clothing can slip, get in the way or lose warmth. A size that fits with a little room is better: the Glow Jumper is very stretchy and the Glow Raincoat adjusts at the chest and waist. Check the measurements regularly, because puppies grow fast.

For older dogs and dogs that feel the cold

Older dogs, dogs with little undercoat and small dogs benefit from warmth when it is wet, windy or cold. For rain and winter the Glow Raincoat is the practical answer, because it is waterproof and lined. For dry cold, the Glow Jumper or a sherpa style works.

  • Mini sizes: for small dogs, puppies and slight builds, when back length, chest and neck fit.
  • Stretchy: the Glow Jumper 2.0 adapts well thanks to its knit and does not restrict.
  • Adjustable: the Glow Raincoat adjusts at the chest and waist and grows along within sensible limits.
  • Waterproof and warm: the Glow Raincoat is a raincoat and a lined winter coat in one.
  • Senior dogs: warm, light clothing can make short winter walks more pleasant.
  • Advice: with puppies, seniors and unusual breeds, send measurements and a photo in the customer chat.

Questions dog owners ask often

Does my dog need a raincoat or a winter coat?

If it is only dry and cool, a warm dog jumper like the Glow Jumper is often enough. In rain, wind, snow or cold wet weather the Glow Raincoat makes sense, because it combines both: a waterproof raincoat and a warmly lined winter coat.

Is the Glow Raincoat a winter coat?

Yes. The Glow Raincoat is laminated waterproof, windproof and lined with polar fleece inside. So it protects from rain and also keeps a dog warm on cold walks.

Which size should I buy for a growing puppy?

For puppies, clothing should fit but not be far too big. Oversized coats can slip, lose warmth or get in the way when running. The Glow Jumper is stretchy and easy to move in, the Glow Raincoat adjusts at the chest and waist. That gives your puppy some flexibility without making the fit unreliable.

Does a puppy need dog clothing at all?

Many puppies and very small dogs cool down faster, especially in cold, wind, rain or snow. They are small, often have little coat or little undercoat and hold warmth less well. The right clothing can keep them warm and make walks more pleasant.

Do older dogs need a coat in winter?

Many older dogs feel the cold sooner, because they move more slowly, carry less muscle or react more sensitively to cold. A warm, light, well-fitting coat can help them stay warm and make short winter walks more pleasant.

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 your dog falls between two back lengths, first check that you measured correctly. If you are unsure, we will advise you in the customer chat with a photo.

Can I upload photos of my dog?

Yes. You can send measurements and photos in the customer chat. That helps especially with puppies, older dogs, dachshunds, small breeds, sighthounds, very slim dogs, a deep chest or unusual proportions.

What does my puppy need as a starter kit?

A soft place to sleep, a blanket or a dog sleeping bag, a light dog jumper for cold days and a well-fitting raincoat for rain, once your puppy is out for longer. What matters is that nothing pinches and that you check the size regularly.

Why neon rather than reflective alone?

Reflective surfaces need light to work. Neon colours are strong contrast colours and stand out in daylight, at dusk, in rain, in fog and in snow. At night, combine them: neon plus LED and reflective Magnetic Glow Tags.
