A little guidance
Help choosing small dog clothes
Buying guides and care advice written for this range: what to measure, what matters and what to skip.
From our guides
This page brings together clothing sized for small dogs and puppies: soft vests, fleece tops with pockets, pointelle knit cardigans, knitted sweaters with animal patterns, waterproof small dog coats, summer print vests, a fleece jumpsuit with a leash ring, turtleneck base layers and tutu dresses. It is for owners of Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Italian greyhounds, toy poodles and other small breeds that feel the cold or simply like to dress up.
Why small dogs often need clothes
Small dogs lose body heat faster than big ones. The American Kennel Club lists small and toy breeds, hairless breeds, lean short-coated breeds such as Italian greyhounds, and puppies and seniors among the dogs that most often need a coat in cold weather.
Light layers such as vests, turtlenecks and cardigans suit cool days and drafty homes. For rain, snow or freezing temperatures, a padded, waterproof coat does far more. In summer, a light vest is for looks; small dogs overheat in heavy fabrics.
Measuring a small dog
The American Kennel Club advises measuring body length and the widest part of the chest, then checking the size chart for anything else. On a small dog, measure the neck too, and write the numbers down; a half inch is a size difference at XXS.
Chest decides most sizes. Deep-chested small breeds and puppies with round bellies may need a size chosen by chest and then adjusted. Italian greyhounds and other sighthounds have a narrow waist that standard cuts do not fit, so look for stretchy knits.
Fit and comfort
The American Kennel Club says a dog should be able to walk, run and play comfortably in its clothes, and that they should not be so loose they could tangle. Check that sleeves do not pinch behind the elbows and that the garment stops short of where a male dog urinates.
Jumpsuits and outfits with a built-in leash ring keep a harness underneath or work alone for short walks. Dresses, tutus and frills are for photos and parties; take them off before playtime and never leave a dog unsupervised in them.
Washing and care
Small dog clothes wash easily in a laundry bag on a gentle cycle, or by hand. Air dry knitwear flat so it keeps its shape. Check labels for printed or appliqued designs that should not go in the dryer.
Inspect clothes for loose buttons, bows and threads, which small dogs can chew off and swallow. Recheck sizing as puppies grow, and take clothes off indoors so your dog does not overheat.
Clothes for different small breeds
Italian greyhounds and whippets have deep chests, narrow waists and very little body fat, so they need stretchy knits or sighthound cuts that follow their shape. Chihuahuas and toy breeds need the smallest sizes and lightweight fabrics that do not weigh them down.
Long-backed small breeds such as Dachshunds need a garment sized by back length that does not gape at the chest. French Bulldogs and Pugs have broad chests and overheat easily, so choose breathable fabrics and save heavier layers for genuinely cold days.
Do small dogs need clothes?
Many do in cold weather, because small dogs lose heat quickly. Toy breeds, short-coated and lean breeds, puppies and seniors benefit most from a sweater or coat outdoors.
What size clothes for a Chihuahua?
Most adult Chihuahuas wear XXS to S, but measure back length, chest and neck and compare with the size chart, since sizes vary a lot between makers.
Can puppies wear clothes?
Yes, for short periods with supervision. Choose soft, stretchy fabrics, avoid small detachable parts, and recheck the fit often as your puppy grows. Take clothes off when your puppy is left alone.
Should my small dog wear clothes indoors?
Usually not, unless the house is cold or your dog is hairless, elderly or unwell. Dogs can overheat indoors, so take clothes off once you are home.
