Printed Dog Hoodie for Small Dogs — Fleece Sweatshirt

A small dog on a cool evening will sit and shiver rather than tell you they are cold. This hoodie solves that without turning them into a walking duvet — a light, soft knit that takes the edge off a Melbourne winter evening or a Canberra morning, and still breathes once the day warms up.

The detail that makes it genuinely useful is the leash hole on the back. You can clip a lead straight through to the harness underneath without taking the whole thing off, which means no more undressing your dog at the front gate while they wait.

Elastic ribbed cuffs and hem stop it slipping during a walk or a roll in the grass, and the cut suits the breeds it is sized for: Chihuahuas, Frenchies, Yorkies, Maltese and similar small to medium dogs. It runs from XS to 4XL.

It is machine washable, which is non-negotiable for something worn against the skin — and at this size, your dog will be wearing it often.

Sizing: measure the chest girth first, then the back length from the base of the neck to the tail. Between sizes, size up so the hoodie does not restrict movement across the shoulders.

Care: machine wash at medium temperature, then drip dry. Do not wring, bleach, tumble dry or dry clean — the fabric loses its shape. Note: this is a comfort layer, not a waterproof coat; a wet winter walk still needs a rain shell.
