If you’re often out in the yard, on country lanes or managing turnout with a dog by your side, you know how quickly the British weather turns. A proper dog coat keeps your dog dry, warm and comfortable – and saves you from dealing with wet fur, muddy paws and shivers on the school run.
In this guide, we’ll walk through the best types of dog coats for different needs – from waterproof dog coats to dog drying robes, plus specially shaped options for breeds like Dachshunds. Every style we mention is available from our dog coat collection, carefully selected for everyday UK life.
All-Purpose Dog Coats for Daily Comfort
An everyday dog coat is the go-to option for chilly mornings, windy walks or muddy trips around the yard. Typically fleece-lined or lightly padded, they’re perfect for dogs with short coats, senior dogs or anyone that feels the cold more than most.
Look for coats with adjustable straps, chest coverage and soft linings to keep your dog comfortable in cool but dry conditions.
Waterproof Dog Coats for Wet and Windy Weather
Rain, mud and puddles are a given in the UK. A good waterproof dog coat is essential if your dog walks in all weathers – especially in rural areas, open paddocks or across wet fields.
Most designs offer weatherproof outers, breathable linings and reflective trims – ideal for darker mornings and evening walks.
Dog Drying Coats for Fast, Clean Recovery
After a wet walk, swim or bath, a dog drying coat (or dog drying robe) absorbs moisture quickly and keeps your dog warm while they dry off. These are ideal for busy dog owners and horse riders who need to get dogs dry, clean and calm fast.
Pair them with our trusted dog grooming and healthcare products to keep your dog fresh and comfortable all year round.
Coats Made for Dachshunds and Small Breeds
Some breeds need a little extra tailoring. Dachshund dog coats are cut longer across the back and shorter at the leg to fit their shape properly — avoiding bunching or exposure on chilly days.
Available in waterproof, fleece-lined and lightweight options, these coats are designed with your dog’s comfort and mobility in mind.
