Available in sizes ranging from XS to 3XL, no matter what size your dog is, this raincoat can keep them dry. The hood is clear, so it doesn’t obstruct their vision and it has a little hole on top you can put the leash through. Choose from four different colors. Promising review: “Finding a raincoat for my dog has always been a challenge because most dog coats just don’t fit him right. I was honestly skeptical at first, but I ordered the 3XL size, and to my surprise, it fit perfectly. The material is also fantastic. After a rainy walk, I can just shake it off or wipe it down. The quality is excellent — sturdy stitching, practical, well-made and cute. A must-have for rainy seasons!" —Youngok Kim Get it from Amazon for $18.99+. What’s great about these dog booties is that they protect paws in both hot and cold weather. The bottoms are formulated to be slip-proof and the tough material is thick enough that they should hold up for years. There’s a wide range of sizes and colors to choose from. Promising review: “I’ve used several other dog shoes for my golden retriever and these are by far the best. They go up high enough so they don’t slip off and they have great traction on the bottom. She has torn up all the other ones so easily and we have had these for months now with no wear and tear. They are easy to apply and fit her great.” —lei Get them from Amazon for $28.99. Just like humans need to put on an extra layer when it’s cold out, so do our pets. This XL-sized striped sweater is perfect for large dogs under 100 pounds. There’s a little hole for the leash and cut-outs for all four legs. Promising review: “I purchased two of these sweaters. The extra large for my golden retriever and the large for my Australian shepherd. The fit is great on both of them. They are enjoying them and are happy for me to put them on them in the snow. Lots of compliments from friends.” —Dog mom Get it from Target for $12. Like sweaters, a jacket is another perfect way to bundle up your dog before you head outside for a cold-weathered walk. This Carhartt option has a quilted liner and is designed to trap in heat. The material is durable enough to hold up against harsh weather. Sizes range from S–XL. Promising review: “This coat was perfect for protecting my American pitbull this past winter! It is extremely durable with a quilted liner and a corduroy-lined collar. My dog literally has no hair to protect his skin and body. Before this coat, he would shiver outside. Once I got this coat on him, everything changed. There is very little stretch to it. The coat fits him comfortably. It’s easy to adjust on him with a velcro strap under his neck and belly. It stays securely on and functions very well when he walks or runs. He’s 80 pounds and I purchased a large. There’s also a small pocket on the coat. This was a great value for the money I paid.” —mkt Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in six colors). If you live somewhere with harsh weather, you need a leash that isn’t going to fall apart — especially if you have a big dog pulling at the other end of it. This leash is made out of climbing rope. In other words, it’s not going to break. It’s water-resistant and reflective, which is helpful for night walks. Choose from a wide range of lengths and colors. Promising review: “I’ve had this leash since 2021. (It’s now 2025.) I came back to buy another. It’s still in perfect condition except for the foam handle cover. I’ve had leashes wear down after one year. Highly recommend.” —Christy Hanthorn Get it from Amazon for $7.89+. Even if you outfit your dog in the best raincoat and booties, there’s a good chance they’ll still get a little wet if you have to walk them in the rain. Keeping a microfiber dog towel by the door, like this top-rated one, can prevent muddy water from being tracked all through your house and cut down on that wet dog smell. Promising review: “Love these towels for my fur babies! Absorbs so much water off them and dries quickly. Great quality!” —David Goodbar Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four colors and also in a three-pack). Just like how cold weather can cause humans to have dry skin, dogs’ paws can become dry and chapped during the winter. Nourish their little paws with this peppermint shea butter. Made with cocoa butter and peppermint oil, it moisturizes chapped paws and softens rough skin. Promising review: “Easy rub on the paws. My dog is a licker, so I have to do it while she's sleeping. Her paws have a smoother feel after a week of use. It really works!” — Christina Get it from Walmart for $5.03. Protect your dog’s ears from cold weather by covering them with an insulated snood. More than 16,000 Amazon shoppers have bought and rated this one, with the majority giving it a perfect 5-star rating. Besides keeping ears warm, it can be used to reduce noise, such as during fireworks or thunderstorms. Promising review: “100000/10! I recommend if your dog has anxiety. I have a 4-year-old Dutch shepherd/pitbull mix. Who is extremely scared of thunder, fireworks, anything loud. She usually will breathe heavy, pace around, her whole body will shake and she’ll climb on whoever she can lap no matter what they are doing. She was even prescribed meds for anxiety that we felt never really helped. Tried it for the first time today (loud thundering) and she hasn’t done a thing but lie next to me! No pacing, no heavy breathing, no shaking! Amazing!” —Sheree g. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and five colors). Keep your floors clean post-walk by giving your dog’s paws a quick wipe down with these plant-based, non-toxic dog wipes. Made with nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile and shea butter, they soften paws while getting off dirt and debris. Promising review: “My great dane and I do sports, and we travel a lot. The problem I have run into in the past with wipes have been either 1) they leave a residue on the coat or 2) they are too small to use on XL dogs without using so many that it's not worth it. My hope for these was to keep them in my car for small clean-ups: dirty paws, dusty coat, dirty faces, etc. The size of these is great for large dogs, and they do not leave a residue on the coat. They also smell fantastic — a light, fresh scent without being overwhelming. I absolutely will be purchasing in the future!” —Macy V Get it from Target for $11.99. Keep you and your dog safe on nighttime walks by outfitting them in this illuminated, reflective harness. It lights up, so drivers and pedestrians are sure to see it. The harness is waterproof, so it works in rainy weather too. Promising review: “This harness is great! It’s very bright and makes it super easy to see my dogs while walking, or going off leash at night. Both my dogs are 65 lbs and size large fits well! Super easy to adjust the size to put on and swap it between dogs! My dogs didn’t seem to mind wearing it, and it feels comfortable to the touch! I love all the different color options for the lights! The charge also lasts a long time! Multiple nights’ worth of walks. It’s kinda pricey, but I love it so much I will definitely buy it again for my other dog!” —Ingrid Wilson Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four sizes).
