Dog Parka

Keep your best friend warm with dog parkas.

Hearing "dog parka" might make you think of some snooty blonde carrying around a pup in purse, but quite honestly, the market for dog jackets is no longer just for celebrities and heiresses. With cold and crazy weather in many areas, an investment in a quality dog coat is one that every pet owner should make to ensure their pooch's comfort and well being. For under $25 you can get your pup a high quality, stylish and cozy dog parka.

A jacket for your dog isn't as crazy as it sounds, pet clothing is actually growing in popularity every day and a warm dog vest or coat is something that a lot of people are finding useful. There is a wide variety of dog parkas available on the market right now and you can find just about any style you could think of online in a matter of minutes.

Dog Parka & Dog Jackets Are In Style

It doesn't matter if your canine is small or large there are plenty of dog snow parka options in all sizes and the vast majority of them can be found at nominal prices. The East Side Collection, for example, offers a stylish but dainty cold weather parka style dog vest with fake fur trim, pom pom, hood and a pocket that can be used to hold small items like plastic bags for those daily strolls. While a dog parka like that might sound like something overpriced, you can actually pick one up for your pooch for around $15.

Another popular option that's available in sizes from extra small to extra large, is the Zack and Zoey base camp parka in dark green and orange. This doggie parka is a poly cotton blend that is machine washable and will keep your dog warm without sacrificing style. At $15 to $20 depending on size, it comes with a removable hood, adjustable elastic waist and has velcro closures to make bundling Fido up as easy as possible.

If green and orange aren't on your dog's favorite color list, Casual Canine has a base camp dog winter parka in a more neutral combination of blue and tan. With costs of around $26 for their extra large dog parkas you can pick up a jacket to keep the wind and chill away from your pup. This jacket, much like the Zack and Zoey model, features a removable hood, elastic adjustable tab waist and velcro closings.

The great thing about all of these dog parkas, is that they are affordable, durable and most are easy to care for. If your canine takes off through a muddy puddle or gets a bit of a mess on his jacket, there is no hand washing required. Just pop their clothes into the washing machine, set it on cold and then line dry. It doesn't get much more simple that that.

A parka for dogs is a great way to ward off the chilly weather that can leave your dog feeling miserable and you feeling guilty. Measure your dog from the end of the neck to the beginning of their tail and then take a few minutes to find a cute and cuddly new jacket for your companion. You won't regret the investment when you see your pooch enjoying their new dog parka.
