Why we picked it
Fleece is the practical winter fabric for small dogs: it is warm for its weight, dries fast, does not snag like knit and goes through the washer without fuss. Fitwarm sells these as a two-pack in grey and navy, which solves the laundry problem that ends most dog-sweater routines by week two. The pullover shape covers chest and back with no buttons to fiddle with in the cold.
A pullover goes over the head, and some dogs object to that every single time. Fleece also pills and is not windproof or waterproof, so it is a layer for dry cold, not for sleet. Sizing is by Fitwarm's chart, which runs differently than other brands, so measure chest and back length rather than guessing from your dog's weight. Dogs with thick coats will overheat and should skip it.
Good for
- Small short-haired dogs in dry, cold weather.
- Owners who want a spare while one is in the wash.
- Daily walks where a quick pullover is enough.
- Older small dogs that get cold in the house.
Skip it if
- Your dog hates things going over its head.
- You need a wind- or rain-proof coat.
- Your dog is double-coated and already warm.
