seasonal support
Has your dog ever begged to go outside, only to change their mind once they realize it’s cold? As the winter weather rolls in, we’re starting to feel the same way! That’s why choosing the right winter clothes for dogs is an important task for pet parents.
Beyond comfort, winter clothes can help protect our pups against some winter dangers
Unlike us, dogs can’t bundle up by themselves or communicate that they need an extra layer to stay warm. And beyond comfort, winter clothes can help protect our pups against some winter dangers: the cold weather can pose certain risks to dogs (like hypothermia) and sometimes worsen existing health conditions, like asthma or bronchitis. That’s why being prepared with some winter gear is important; not only will it help them stay comfortable during winter chills, but it can also help stay them safe.
Choosing winter clothes for dogs can be as fun as it is important, as you can find stylish fits that will make them feel pampered! As you shop around, here are three things to keep in mind.
1. Consider the Breed – Hot Husky or Chilly Chihuahua?
Different pups have different tolerances for the cold. A husky is basically built for the icy chills but shorthaired breeds like chihuahuas and greyhounds don’t have thick coats and are more likely to need warmer threads.
Size matters too. Smaller dogs tend to lose heat more easily, so you should opt for coats that provide full-body coverage.
2. Get a Proper Fit
The way clothes fit is not only important for your pet’s comfort but also for their safety! Clothes that are too tight can restrict your pup’s movement, breathing, or ability to go to the bathroom. Clothing with Velcro or other adjustable straps can be a good choice since they allow you to get the perfect fit.
To take your pup’s measurements, measure the widest part of their chest, and then the length from the back of the neck to the base of the tail. These two measurements will help guide your choices for most dog clothing brands.
Don’t measure your pet directly with a metal tape measurer, since those can be sharp and slide back unexpectedly. Instead, use a string and then compare that to the tape measurer to keep your pet comfortable.
Top Tip: Pups should be supervised when clothed. If they show signs of discomfort, remove their clothing.
3. Don’t Forget the Feet
Icy conditions can cause slips, the cold can cause frostbite, and the snow can obscure rocks and other hazards – so don’t forget those precious toe beans!
Doggie shoes should also have a good fit. They should snug so as not to fall off or causes your pup an accidental slip, but not overly tight so that they restrict blood flow. It’s a good idea to give your pooch a break every couple hours too for the same reason.
If your pup absolutely refuses to wear booties no matter how hard you try, always wipe their feet when they get back inside. The salt and chemicals used to de-ice sidewalks and streets can be harmful if ingested.
To add an additional layer of protection on bare paws, you can use NHV Heal Care before heading out. It’s helpful for paw pads that will face the snow, ice-salt, and dryness in the wintery outdoors.
4. Leave It to The (Pet) Experts
NHV’s recently opened pet boutique offers an array of safe and cozy – yet fabulously fashionable! – dog clothes for winter. If you are located in the Vancouver BC area, you can stop by for one-on-one consultation with our pet experts for the latest and greatest in doggy fashion and winter-proof technology.
Our boutique also offers Canada-wide shipping through our website, for all the Canadian NHV fans out there!
No matter if your pup loves love romping in the snow, appears completely indifferent to cold, and runs back inside at their first chance, it’s important to be prepared with the right dog clothes and know how to choose them.

Dog Paw Pad Ointment for Burn Support
Paw pad injuries due to over-exercise are common injuries for active pups, especially on hot summer days. Running back and forth on rough surfaces like concrete, pavement, or gravel may cause tenderness, blisters, burns, and possible peeling in the pad skin. As a rule of thumb, if the surface is too hot to put the back of your hand onto it, then it isn't safe for your little one to be walking on it either. Dog paw pads are pretty tough, but they aren't meant for running on such hard surfaces for long periods of time. Don't feel bad if your fluffy friend has a paw pad injury and you didn’t notice right away because there may not be any symptoms until they are settling down at home later. Just like summer, winter can present some risks as well. It is easy for your pup's paw pads to get dehydrated, dry or cracked with dry, cold weather. The iconic blue/green salt that is sprinkled onto sideways and walkways can definitely cause ouchies in your furkiddo's paws. To avoid paw pad injuries, consider protective accessories like booties or shoes for your furbaby. Shorter walks, limiting time on hot surfaces and using a topical ointment for dog paws are other ways to prevent paw pad injuries.
How NHV’s Dog Paw Ointment Supports Paw Pad Injuries and More
Paw pad injuries can be minor scratches but sometimes the pads are so badly damaged that the surface of the skin begins to blister and peel away from the foot. These injuries can take quite a while to heal and cause a lot of pain and discomfort for your furkiddo. For more severe injuries, vet-prescribed antibiotics may be required. For less severe burns and scrapes, a topical ointment for dog paws like NHV Heal Care can help soothe inflamed skin and help decrease the risk of infection - your pup's paws aren't always the cleanest so they can be at a higher risk for a bacterial or fungal (yeast) infection.
Heal care for dogs contains ingredients like Arnica and St. John's Wort which are beneficial for a variety of issues from burnt paw pads to achy joints. Arnica is known for its ability to help sprains and joint discomfort by dilating blood vessels, increasing circulation to the affected area and enhancing recovery. St. John’s Wort is a cooling herb that has traditionally been used for reducing inflammation and promoting healing from injuries such as burns, bruises, sores, cramps, sprains and discomfort caused by nerve damage.
