Even with their fur coats, our dogs feel the chill and this is especially true for hairless dogs, those with short hair, puppies and senior dogs and those suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis.

We rounded up the latest dog coats, dog beds, blankets and fashion accessories catering for all styles and budgets. We hope these suggestions will help keep your pooches toasty warm throughout our (short) Australian winter.
