Favorite Winter Coats
When it’s truly cold, we don’t experiment. These are the coats we reach for every time.
Why I’m Loving These Canada Pooch Coats (Especially for NYC Waterfront Living)
If you live somewhere actually cold and windy (looking at you, NYC and Chicago 👋), you know not all dog coats are created equal. I’ve tried my fair share over the years, and these Canada Pooch puffer coats have officially earned a permanent spot in our winter rotation.
First: the look.
The shiny, reflective exterior is what initially sold me. They feel modern, clean, and elevated—more city chic than “let’s just survive this walk.” I love that they photograph well (important), catch the light beautifully, and add a little polish even on those rushed, freezing walks where everyone’s just trying to get back inside.
Second—and more importantly—the warmth.
Inside, these coats are genuinely cozy. The insulation makes a noticeable difference, especially where we live along the water. Between the wind coming off the river and those icy winter temps, warmth isn’t optional—it’s necessary. These coats actually trap heat without being bulky, which means the dogs stay comfortable without looking like marshmallows.
What I really appreciate is that they feel thoughtfully designed: warm lining, structured fit, and materials that clearly account for real winter conditions—not just “cute for fall.” Whether we’re walking the promenade or just popping out quickly, I feel good knowing they’re protected from the cold and still look great doing it.
Warm, practical, and stylish enough for city life—exactly what I want in a dog coat.
