Brrr it's getting cold outside and it's officially snuggle weather time! When you're sharing your bed with your dogs, you notice they're not that keen on early morning starts and quickly make a beeline for the stairs in the evenings.
Not every dog needs help to keep warm but many dogs do. For dogs that live in our heated, insulated homes, they can find going out in winter weather a bit of a shock, especially thin-coated dogs, puppies, elderly or sick dogs or breeds that are not very hardy...
Our dogs certainly feel the cold too, so we went on the hunt for some great products to help keep our Aussie dogs cosy and warm throughout winter, not to mention on trend!
These luxury, hand-knitted cable jumpers by Pooky + Boo are proudly made in Western Australia with your pooch’s style and comfort in mind.
Made from 100% Australian Alpaca yarn, the fabrics are soft to touch and perfect for sensitive skin, with no lanolin to give them highly hypoallergenic qualities.
The yarn is breathable with a slight stretch, with our range of sizes providing the perfect fit for all fur babies. Alpaca fibre is naturally water-repellent and has a light-weight feel, keeping your pooch warm and cosy during all the seasons.
Available in small, medium and large.
RRP: $70.00 from www.pookyandboo.com.au
For dog owners that take their fashion seriously, this is a totally on-trend urban look for mum and pooch exclusive to Top Dog Boutique!Your pampered pooch will feel like he’s the grooviest dog in town when wearing the Max-Bone Ani Jumper (Leopard Print in Orange) .
This super soft knit jumper is a sleeveless, roll neck design with embroidered lettering, perfect to snuggle in. It makes your dog look cute and can help minimise shedding. But when you decide to head out, there’s a handy hole in the back to clip your leash.

The unique design of the Llama Poncho by Alqo Wasi is an homage to the homespun Andean market sweaters of yesteryear…
Ethnic patterning takes inspiration from the Peruvian Llama. Llamas were domesticated in the Andean Highlands of Perú 4,000-5,000 years ago.
The Llama design combines with ethnographic Peruvian symbols in a rhythmic fusion of colour and history. For active days, you can secure your pup's poncho with a convenient belly string.
This model features a ribbed turtleneck and convenient leash opening (also available as a standard knit without the fringes). Many other stunning designs now available from DOGUE.
It comes in sizes from XXS to XL. Our lead image features the Mountain Grey jumper.
