Knitted Dog Sweater for Small Dogs, Warm Pullover for Winter

When the temperature drops, small dogs are usually the first to shiver on the porch. This knitted dog sweater gives puppies and toy breeds a cozy layer for fall and winter, whether it's a quick morning potty break or a slow walk around the block. The pullover style slips on over the head and front legs, with no buttons or snaps to fuss with. Sizes run from S to XL, made for Chihuahuas, Yorkies, and other small breeds.

A Cozy Layer for Chilly Days

Small dogs have less body mass to hold heat, so cold air reaches them faster than it reaches larger breeds. A knit sweater adds warmth across the chest and back without the bulk of a padded coat. That makes it comfortable to wear indoors on drafty days, too. The classic knit texture looks just as good on the couch as it does on the sidewalk.

Key Features

• Knitted polyester: A cold-weather knit made for fall and winter.
• Pullover design: Slips on easily with no fasteners.
• Two-leg cut: Covers the chest and back while leaving the back legs free.
• Sized for small breeds: Four sizes built around chest girths from about 9 to 13 inches.

Sizing

Chest girth is the measurement that matters most for this sweater. The chart shows garment measurements, and the sweater should be about 1 inch larger than your dog's chest to leave room for movement.

How to Measure

• Chest girth: With your dog standing, wrap a soft tape around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs. Keep it snug but not tight, and part long fur so the tape sits against the body.
• Back length: Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, not including the tail.

If your dog is between sizes, close to the upper limit of a size, or still growing, order one size up. Always choose by measurement rather than weight, since dogs of the same weight can have very different body shapes. Hand measurements may vary by about 0.4 to 1.2 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sweater fit a medium-sized dog?

Only a very slim one. The largest size fits a chest of about 13.8 inches, which suits toy and small breeds. Most medium dogs will need a larger sweater, so measure first.

Is this sweater warm enough for snow or freezing weather?

It's a good layer for cool fall days and mild winter outings. For snow, wind, or long walks in freezing weather, look at our dog coats for more protection.
