Gold Quilted Winter Dog Vest with Zipper and Leash Ring

This dog vest is made for autumn and winter walks. The outer is a shiny gold fabric stitched into padded horizontal channels, with a smooth black lining inside. A zipper runs along the back for putting it on, and a metal ring sits over the spine so you can clip on a leash. The vest covers the chest and body and has two openings for the front legs, leaving the legs free.

It comes in sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL, and the gold shown here is the version on this page. Measure your dog's chest and back length before ordering and compare them with the size you plan to choose; if your dog is between sizes, going up gives more room around the chest and shoulders. Because the vest sits snug through the body, check that your dog can still walk and sit comfortably.

A quilted vest like this is a layer for dry, cold weather rather than a rain jacket, so take it off if it gets soaked. Put it on at home before the first outing so your dog gets used to the zipper and the feel of the padding.

Spot clean the shiny fabric with a damp cloth and dry it flat or on a hanger.
