A little guidance
Help choosing dog fleece
Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.
From our guides
This page narrows our dog clothing down to fleece: zip-up fleece hoodies, a pocket fleece top, polar fleece coats, a windproof fleece-lined coat, hooded fleece winter coats, striped fleece vests, a fleece jumpsuit with a built-in leash ring, fleece capes and cloaks, and printed fleece sweaters in tie-dye, cow print and two-tone designs. It is for small, short-coated and older dogs who feel the chill on cool walks and in drafty homes.
Why fleece
Fleece is light, soft, warm for its weight and dries quickly, which makes it one of the most practical fabrics for dog clothing. It does not itch like some wool, it stretches a little for comfort, and most fleece machine washes easily.
Its weakness is rain: fleece does not repel water, and the AKC advises against fleece or flannel exteriors for raincoats. For wet weather, choose a waterproof coat or put a shell over the fleece.
Which dogs benefit
The AKC lists the dogs most likely to need warmth: small and toy breeds, dogs with short or clipped coats, lean breeds such as Greyhounds and Whippets, seniors and young puppies, hairless breeds, and low-slung dogs like Dachshunds and Bassets.
Fleece suits cool fall days, chilly mornings and drafty houses. For snow and hard freezes, a fleece-lined insulated coat or a windproof fleece-lined coat gives more protection.
Styles in this range
Hoodies and zip-up fleeces are quick to put on and look casual. Vests cover the chest and back without sleeves, which suits dogs who dislike leg holes. Polar fleece coats and hooded winter coats add more coverage.
A fleece jumpsuit covers legs and belly, ideal for lean or hairless dogs, and the built-in leash ring means you do not need to fit a harness underneath. Capes and cloaks slip on with a fastening at the neck.
Measuring and fit
Measure neck girth, chest girth at the widest part of the rib cage and back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, as the AKC recommends, and follow each item's size chart. If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger.
Your dog should move freely and be able to squat comfortably. The AKC warns against clothing so loose that a dog could get tangled. Check under the front legs for rubbing.
Washing fleece
Wash fleece on a cool or warm gentle cycle with mild detergent, inside out to reduce pilling, and skip fabric softener, which reduces fleece's softness and warmth. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Shake or lint-roll hair off before washing. Check zips and snaps after washing and repair loose seams early.
When to take it off
Fleece is warm indoors too, so remove it once your dog is home and settled to avoid overheating. Do not leave a dog alone or crated in clothing.
If your dog shivers even in fleece, shorten walks and add a heavier coat. Older dogs who seem stiffer in cold weather may have arthritis worth discussing with your vet.

Is fleece warm enough for dogs in winter?
Fleece is warm for cool days. For snow and freezing weather, choose a fleece-lined insulated or windproof coat.
Are fleece dog sweaters good in the rain?
No, fleece absorbs water. Use a waterproof coat or a shell over the fleece.
What size fleece sweater does my dog need?
Measure neck, chest girth and back length, then use the size chart. Choose the larger size if between sizes.
How do I wash a fleece dog jacket?
Wash inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, skip fabric softener and dry on low.
Should my dog wear a fleece indoors?
Only in a drafty home and for short spells. Remove it if your dog seems warm, and never leave it on unsupervised.
