Cozy Pet Products that Make Winter Better

For Whom/What:

My 7-year-old Italian Greyhound in Minnesota

Budget:

All budgets welcomed — from affordable essentials to splurge-worthy favorites

Requirements:

Help a small, short-haired dog stay warm

Are practical for Minnesota cold

Make indoor spaces cozier and more comfortable

Work for walks, home lounging, or travel

Prefer washable or easy-to-clean

Easy to put on and take off

Extra Details:

We just moved to Minnesota, and it’s way colder than anything my Italian Greyhound is used to! My IG is tiny, short-coated, and definitely not built for harsh winters. I want to find the best cozy winter gear and home products that’ll actually keep her warm and comfortable — not just cute. Think functional warmth for walks, indoor snuggles, and everything in between.

If you live somewhere truly cold, skip cute knits and just get Hurtta’s Extreme Warmer. Feels very “technical outdoor gear" - and it blocks wind far better than fleece. 

It’s basically a ski jacket for dogs. Windproof + insulated + belly coverage + high neck. My short-haired dog stopped shivering on walks once we switched because it covers chest and thighs, where they lose heat the most.
