lumiies® puppy guide
Puppy starter kit: what does my puppy really need?
First-time dog owners are usually not looking for one particular product. They are looking for reassurance: what does my puppy need at the start? Which size do I buy while my puppy is still growing? Does my puppy feel the cold? Does a puppy need a coat, a jumper, a dog sleeping bag or a blanket? Here is a clear, practical guide.
Straight to the puppy products
Mini-Fit raincoats, the Glow Jumper, the Studio Nest, blankets and loops for small dogs and puppies.
Puppy starter kit: the areas that matter
A place to sleep & feel safe
A soft dog sleeping bag, a blanket or a cushion gives your puppy a fixed retreat. That helps at home, in the bed, on the sofa and when you are out.
Cold & a thin coat
Puppies are small, often have little coat or little undercoat and cool down faster. A stretchy Glow Jumper can warm them in dry cold without restricting them.
Rain & wind
In wet, windy weather a well-fitting raincoat makes sense. The Glow Raincoat is waterproof, windproof and warmly lined.
Sizing while growing
Do not buy far too big. Oversized clothing slips, loses warmth and can get in the way. Better: the right size plus stretchy or adjustable products.
Visibility
Puppies are easy to overlook day to day. Neon colours help in the city, at dusk, in snow, in rain and in dull weather. At night, add LED or reflective clips.
Advice with a photo
With puppies, measurements and body shape change quickly. Send us measurements and a photo in the customer chat so we can help you personally.
Which size to buy for a growing puppy?
The main rule: do not simply buy far too big. An oversized coat can slip, get in the way when your puppy runs, lose warmth or fail to cover the chest and belly properly. A size that fits, with sensible flexibility, is better.
- Glow Jumper 2.0: stretchy, soft and easy to move in, so a good fit for small dogs and puppies when the measurements work.
- Glow Raincoat: adjustable at the chest and waist, waterproof, windproof and warmly lined.
- Measure again regularly: puppies grow fast. Check the back length from the shoulder blade to the base of the tail, the chest girth and the neck girth regularly.
- Use a photo: if you are unsure, send measurements and a photo in the customer chat.
Does my puppy feel the cold?
Many puppies feel the cold sooner than adult dogs. They are small, carry less body mass, often have little coat or little undercoat and hold warmth less well. In cold, wind, rain or snow, the right dog clothing can help them stay warm and make walks more pleasant.
Raincoat or winter coat for puppies?
The Glow Raincoat is both: a waterproof raincoat and a warmly lined dog coat. On cold rainy days you can combine it with the Glow Jumper. In dry cold, depending on the dog, the Glow Jumper or a sherpa style is often enough.
Personal advice: open the customer chat, give us your email address and send measurements or a photo of your puppy. Our team will advise you personally on the right size and product choice.

FAQ: puppies, the starter kit and sizing
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. Add a lead, a harness, food, a bowl, grooming basics and good visibility for everyday walks.
Which size do I buy for a growing puppy?
Do not buy far too big. Oversized clothing can slip, lose warmth and get in the way. The Glow Jumper is stretchy and the Glow Raincoat adjusts at the chest and waist. Check the measurements regularly and use the customer chat with a photo if you are unsure.
Does a puppy need dog clothing?
Many puppies and very small dogs cool down faster, especially in cold, wind, rain or snow. The right clothing can help them stay warm.
Raincoat or jumper for puppies?
In dry cold, a stretchy Glow Jumper is right. In rain, wind or cold wet weather the Glow Raincoat makes sense, because it is waterproof, windproof and lined.
Can I upload photos of my puppy?
Yes. You can send measurements and photos in the customer chat. That is especially helpful with puppies, because growth and body shape change quickly.
