Chilly Dog Sweaters
Selecting the Right Pet Apparel
Choosing the right sweater for your dog is crucial to ensure they stay warm and comfortable. Consider the following factors:
Size and Fit
Measure your dog’s neck, chest, and length to find the right fit. A well-fitting sweater or coat should cover their entire back without being too tight or restrictive.
Material
Look for sweaters and coats made from high-quality, breathable materials like wool or fleece. These materials provide warmth without causing overheating or irritation.
Style
Pet apparel come in various styles, from functional to fashionable. Choose a design that suits your dog’s needs and your personal preferences.
Ease of Use
If your dog is not accustomed to wearing clothing, opt for sweaters that are easy to put on and take off.
Dogs, like humans, have varying levels of cold tolerance. Their ability to withstand cold temperatures depends on several factors, including their size, coat type, and overall health.
Small Breeds
Smaller dog breeds, such as Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers, tend to have less body mass and a lower fat-to-muscle ratio, making them more susceptible to the cold. These dogs often benefit from wearing sweaters to help maintain their body temperature.
Short-Haired Breeds
Breeds with short coats, like the Greyhound and the Dalmatian, have less insulation against the cold. A sweater can provide much-needed warmth and comfort for these dogs in chilly weather.
Toy Breeds
Dogs in the toy group, such as the Pomeranian and the Shih Tzu, often lack the body mass to stay warm in cold weather. Sweaters are a practical solution to protect them from the chill.
Senior Dogs
Aging dogs may have a decreased ability to regulate their body temperature, and arthritis can make them more sensitive to the cold. Sweaters can be essential in keeping senior pets comfortable during winter.
Our Story
In the vibrant heart of downtown Philadelphia, a simple yet powerful idea took root—an idea that would bring warmth not only to dogs but to the people who love them. Founded in 1999, Chilly Dog emerged from a passion for pets and a desire to fill a gap in the market.
Our mission was clear: to create high-quality, affordable dog sweaters that would make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners.
Our journey led us to the skilled Quechuan Artisans in South America, where we found not just craftsmanship but a shared dedication to quality and ethical production. Together, we embarked on a mission to hand-knit wool dog sweaters that would fit every dog perfectly, while also supporting fair trade practices and sustainability.
Since our inception, Chilly Dog has remained steadfast in our commitment to fair trade principles. Our sweaters are crafted from 100% wool, colored with natural plant dyes, and made with care by artisans who take pride in their work. This commitment not only ensures exceptional quality but also empowers artisans in remote villages to support their families and communities through fair wages and safe working conditions. Each sweater is a testament to the warmth and compassion that begins with the artisans’ skilled hands.
At Chilly Dog, we recognize that every dog is as unique as their owner. That’s why we stay ahead of fashion trends, offering designs that ensure your furry friend is not only warm but stylish too. Our sizing range accommodates all breeds, from the tiniest teacup dogs to the most majestic Great Danes.
When you choose Chilly Dog, you’re not just buying a sweater; you’re embracing a legacy of warmth, quality, and ethical responsibility. Our sweaters are more than just garments—they’re a reflection of love and purpose, carefully crafted to be the warmest and highest quality dog sweaters available.
Don’t let your dog face the cold unprotected. Wrap them in a Chilly Dog sweater and be part of a journey that warms not just bodies, but hearts and souls. Your purchase is more than a fashion choice; it’s a statement of care and compassion. Choose Chilly Dog, where every stitch is woven with love, and every dog finds their cozy haven.

Dobby loves his chilly dog sweaters
We’re coming to the end of winter in Las Vegas and I wanted to give long term feedback on these amazing sweaters. Dobby loves the fit and warmth. He wears them every day for about four days in a row at a time. They hold their shape and have worn beautifully. Look at the colors! I machine wash these with our other clothes and I dare you to zoom in and find any flaw. I wish they made human sweaters too.

The Perfect Attire for the Goodest Boy!
Who loves his mama? This good boy! This MinPin LOVES his cozy wool blanket-sweater. It’s an easy fit. No struggles slipping it on either. My little guy occasionally gets a little tinkle on it, but that’s no problem because his sweater washes up great with gentle wool-friendly washing soap and then I lay it flat to dry. (It dries quickly.) Easy-peasy!Chilly Dog truly makes the most beautiful, good-dog worthy sweaters. They are easy to spot because they’re one of a kind.Sizes match the size chart. Sweaters have some stretch to accommodate in-between sized doggos.Add to cart!

Great fit – worth every penny!
Love this sweater and Chilly Dog brand, in general! I purchased a Small and it fits my 1 yr old Frenchton great! She weighs about 16-17 lbs and has a little bit of room in this if she puts on any more weight. She just loves wearing it! I would definitely recommend this brand. The wool sweaters are a bit more money than the typical acrylic-blend sweaters you find at big box stores but these are worth the money. I purchased a Chilly Dog sweater for our Boston Terrier about 6 yrs ago and it’s held up well. He hates the cold and it keeps him really warm. He never puts up a fight to put it on.

I defied the size chart-Like the sweater
Small was the best fit for a 20 lb stocky pug Boston terrier mix. It helps on chillier days and i prefer it his coat. I would recommend. I like the natural fibers and he looks good. There is a pull in the sweater so it’s not crazy durable but it’s ok.

Adorabe, Warm and Look (maybe are?) Handmade!
I love, love, love these sweaters for my little Shih Tzu girls!! I believe they are handmade becuz, despite the tags on them, they really look handmade. They are extremely well made and warm and look so cute with the “Mom” logo!! After reading several other reviews on sizing, I went with a size small for my normally size medium dogs and it was the right call. The sweaters (I ordered 2) fit perfectly. Our dogs are around 15 pounds and in almost everything else, collars, other sweaters, harnesses, they wear a size medium. I can’t wait for it to get a little colder so my girls can wear these cute sweaters but as they are a wool blend, they are a little too warm right now!!

Warm sweater
Love this sweater, nice and warm for my spoiled fur baby, ordered the small perfect fit for my 13 pound Schnoodle.sweater is well made, worth the money plus the MOM on the back is so cute, yes he knows he is spoiled so much so ordering another Chilly Dog sweater for him. we are having 14 degree weather in the mornings this is the perfect weight for him for walking at the park.

Cute Mom tattoo design…
…but the fit is just wonky. The size small fit well around the neck. The body was a tad snug but ok. It was WAY too long though. He would have peed on it for sure. So I tried an extra small. The body fit perfectly and it wasn’t too long, but it was WAY too tight around neck. And he’s not a dog with a thick neck. In fact, he’s a gangly 6 month old puppy. FYI: the MOM is fairly easy to read at a distance, but harder to read up close. While that wouldn’t have been a deal breaker, it was kind of disappointing. On a positive note, I do love when dog sweater “arm” holes are just oblong slits like this, rather than having a fixed circle or even actual sleeves that offer far less freedom of movement.
Just received this sweater and I couldn’t be happier! My dog is 9.5 lbs and purchased a size Small and fits perfectly. It’s a medium weight wool and reminds me of the sweaters my Mother used to knit! –
This sweater is awesome ! Size small fit my 9.5lb pup perfectly. It’s a medium weight wool and will keep him warm and fashionable at the same time. Very happy with this one! Reminds me of the sweaters my Mom used to knit, very good quality. I may purchase a spare.

Love this sweater. The size chart is accurate. My dog is 7 lbs. and is a morkie. I purchased the small and it is a little big on him (around his chest and in length). He loves it as he is always cold when outside around this time of year and it is like a blanket on him and he can still move around and go to the bathroom.Best of all…….he loves me and isn’t afraid to rock the look!

Looks cute. It is wool so wash in cold gentle and do not put it in the dryer . Also does not have a hole for a harness, so had to cut and sew one in myself .

This is my pup wearing it (slightly big) and three months and it still fits him at 6 months. I would recommend, it’s super cute and has lots of stretch to fit him for a long time.
